Common rejection reasons
Why upload portals reject files — and how to fix each one
- 1
File exceeds the maximum size limit
Compress to a target KB using the tool above. Enter the portal's limit (e.g. 200) and download the result.
Compress to 200 KB → - 2
Image dimensions are incorrect
The portal may require a specific pixel size (e.g. 600×600). Lower the target KB — FileReady will reduce dimensions automatically if compression alone is not enough.

Invalid file format — JPEG required
FileReady converts PNG and WebP to JPEG automatically when compressing. Upload any format and download a valid JPEG.

FAQ
Does FileReady upload my files to a server?
No. All compression runs in your browser, on your own device. Your files are never uploaded to any server.
What is the difference between compressing and resizing?
Compression reduces the file size in KB or MB while keeping the same pixel dimensions. Resizing changes the pixel dimensions. Many portals require both — a specific pixel size and a file size limit.
Is there a file size limit for the input image?
No hard limit. Very large files above 20–30MB may take a few seconds in the browser. The browser's available memory is the practical ceiling.
Is FileReady free to use?
Yes. FileReady is completely free — no account, no watermark, no usage limits.
