Verified against the official source · May 11, 2026File Size Is Only One Requirement
A smaller file can still fail if the crop, background, or head size is wrong. Compression should be the final export step after the photo is already formatted.
- Export to the selected document's pixel size.
- Compress to the required KB limit.
- Avoid screenshots and messaging-app copies.
