Quick Guide: Compress JPEG for Job Portals in 30 Seconds
Short on time? Here is the fastest route. 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.
