Image Compression Workflow for Job Portals
A repeatable workflow saves time and keeps results consistent. Recruitment sites usually limit photo and document sizes to keep their systems fast.
Recommended settings for job portals
| Setting | Starting point |
|---|---|
| Format | JPEG (WebP where accepted) |
| Width | about 800 px on the long edge |
| Quality | 70 |
| File size | 100 KB or less |
These are practical defaults. If the platform or form you are using publishes its own limits, follow those instead.
Image Compression Workflow
Keep originals in one folder and never overwrite them. Export compressed copies to a separate folder named for the destination, such as job portals.
Use the same width (800 px) and quality (70) every time so your images look uniform. Batch the work instead of compressing files one at a time.
Step by step with TheCompressJPEG
- Open the compress JPEG to 100 KB tool, or the main compressor for custom settings.
- Drop in your image. Nothing is uploaded; it is processed in your browser.
- Set the maximum width to 800 and the target size to 100 KB.
- Press Compress, check the result and download it.
Quick tips
- Write a size limit slightly below the stated maximum to leave a margin.
- Process private images locally rather than uploading them to unknown servers.
- Crop out distractions so pixels go to the subject.
- Use WebP where it is supported and you control the page.
