This guide helps you fix a real upload problem before you submit a file to an online form. Use it together with the related browser tool and always check the target website requirement.
Step-by-step instructions
- Read the upload requirement carefully.
- Choose the closest related browser tool.
- Fix dimensions first if both pixels and KB are wrong.
- Compress after resizing when a strict KB limit is required.
- Preview dimensions, size and quality before downloading.
Practical example
A form may reject a photo because the dimensions and KB size are both wrong. Resize to the required pixels first, then compress to the required KB limit. Preview the result before uploading.
Common mistakes
- Only fixing file size when the form also requires exact dimensions.
- Not previewing the output before upload.
- Using an old, filtered or blurry photo.
- Forgetting to keep a copy of the original file.
