Frequently asked questions
How do I reduce a photo to 50 KB?
Drop your photo above. Picwright tries different JPEG quality levels and keeps the sharpest version that is still under 50 KB. If the photo is very large it also scales it down a little.
Will the photo still be accepted by the form?
Most forms check the file type, size in KB and pixel dimensions. The result is a standard JPEG; check the result panel for the exact KB and pixels before you upload.
What if the form also needs a minimum size, like 20–50 KB?
Use the KB range fields. If the photo comes out too small, Picwright raises the quality first and, as a last resort, adds harmless padding so the file reaches the minimum.
Can I crop the photo to the right size as well?
Yes. After choosing a photo, click "Change" next to Size, pick a common size or enter custom pixels, then drag or resize the fixed-ratio frame on the photo. The compressed file comes out at exactly those pixels. Leave it alone to keep the original size.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs inside your browser. Your photo never leaves your device, and nothing is stored after you close the tab.
