How to use
- The tool above has selected “ICA photo (400 × 514)” in step 1 and filled in the file size, format and dimensions in step 3.
- Upload your images in step 2. You can choose several at once, or drag them into the upload box.
- In step 4, check the result for file size, dimensions and format. If an item is invalid, change the settings in step 3 as explained below the image.
- Download the image. Several images are downloaded together as one ZIP file. Then upload the file to the website.
Common reasons for upload failure
- File larger than 8 MB: some websites count 1 KB as 1000 bytes and others as 1024 bytes. This tool uses the stricter 1000 bytes, so the file is within the limit either way. If an image with many pixels is still too large at 50% quality, this tool reduces its dimensions in proportion. If you have unticked “Reduce dimensions if the file is too large”, please tick it again.
- Part of the image is cut off: if the shape of the original differs from the requirement, “Crop to fit” cuts off the extra parts. To keep the whole image, choose “Fit whole image” in step 3.
- Wrong format: this website accepts only jpg, jpeg, heic, heif, png. Please choose that format in step 3. HEIC photographs from an iPhone are converted to the chosen format.
