How to reduce photo size in KB on iPhone

Job portals, applications and government sites often reject photos over 200 KB, 500 KB or 1 MB. SendReady is a photo size reducer on your iPhone: it lowers quality, then resolution, until each photo fits the limit you choose.

Steps

  1. Open SendReady and tap Convert & Shrink Photos.
  2. Choose the photo (or several).
  3. Pick JPEG — most forms want it.
  4. Under Keep each photo under, choose 200 KB, 500 KB, 1 MB, 2 MB or 5 MB.
  5. Tap Convert, then upload the result.

KB vs MB

1 MB is 1,000 KB. A typical iPhone photo is 2–5 MB, so a 200 KB limit means shrinking it more than tenfold — SendReady handles that by lowering quality first and resolution only when it must.

Questions

Will the photo still look sharp?

SendReady lowers JPEG quality first and only reduces resolution when it has to, so the photo stays as sharp as the limit allows.

Can I do several photos at once?

Yes. Every selected photo is fitted under the same limit.

What's the smallest size it can make?

The smallest preset is 200 KB.
