Portals that require 240 KB
Read from each portal's own published instructions, not guessed. These name 240 KB as the minimum, the maximum, or both:
What resolution is realistic at 240 KB
Compress any photo or scan to exactly 240 KB — the limit set by US DV Lottery.
The tool tries quality first: it re-encodes your photo at a range of JPEG quality settings, narrowing in with a binary search, and keeps the largest result that still lands at or under 240 KB. Cutting the pixel dimensions only happens when quality alone cannot reach the target, and the larger the target, the less often that is needed — at 240 KB an ordinary photo more often reaches the target on quality alone, with its original dimensions left untouched.

240 KB questions
What resolution will I actually get at 240 KB?
The tool always tries quality first: it re-encodes your photo at a range of JPEG quality settings, narrowing in with a binary search, and keeps the largest result that still lands at or under 240 KB. Dimension reduction is only the fallback for when quality alone cannot reach the target, and the smaller the target, the more often that fallback is needed — at 240 KB an ordinary photo more often reaches the target on quality alone, with its original dimensions left untouched.
Which portals require 240 KB?
US Diversity Visa Program (max 240 KB · 600–1200 px wide · JPEG). See each portal's own page for the exact published wording and the source it was read from.
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs in your browser. This site is static files on a CDN with no upload endpoint at all, which is also why it is free — there is no bandwidth bill to pass on.
