PhotoFit

Most photo compressors give you a quality slider and hope you land somewhere close. PhotoFit says forget that noise—you type "240 KB," you get 240 KB. Binary search algorithm hits your exact target every single time, no guessing, no failed uploads.

Here's why this matters: government forms are absolutely brutal about file size. DV Lottery rejects anything over 240 KB. Aadhaar says 50 KB max. PAN card? Also 50 KB. Your perfectly lit passport photo? Rejected because it's 3 KB over the limit. PhotoFit handles all these presets out of the box—you pick your form, you get your file. No more "please resize and try again" errors at 11 PM the night before your visa appointment.

The whole thing runs 100% in your browser via the Canvas API. Your photo never leaves your device, which is exactly how it should be when you're uploading sensitive government documents. It also does batching and exact crops if you need to process a stack of photos at once.

This is a free tool from makbar.dev—simple, focused, and it solves one specific pain point that makes people want to throw their laptop out the window. Sometimes the best products aren't the ones with the most features, they're the ones that just work.
