Image File Size Checklist for Job Portals
Run through this list before you upload. 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 File Size Checklist
Is it the right format? Photos should be JPEG or WebP. Is it the right width? Around 800 pixels suits job portals. Is it under the limit? Aim for 100 KB or whatever the destination specifies.
Is it oriented correctly, cropped cleanly and free of private metadata? Our compressor handles orientation and strips metadata automatically when it re-encodes the image.
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.

Wrapping up
