Reducing an image's file size often leads to pixelation or blurriness. However, for exam applications, you need both a small file size and a clear image. Here is how to achieve that.
Why Do Photos Lose Quality?
Compression algorithms remove data to save space. If compressed too much, details are lost.
Tips for High-Quality Resizing
- Start with a High-Res Source: Don't use a tiny WhatsApp thumbnail as your source image. Use a photo taken directly from your camera.
- Use Smart Compression: Tools like MyExamPhoto use algorithms that reduce file size by removing metadata and optimizing colors without affecting visual clarity.
- Correct Aspect Ratio: Cropping to the exact ratio (e.g., 3.5:4.5) prevents the image from looking stretched or squashed.
