[SOLVED!] On an Android phone is there an open source method of compressing files?
I have to submit a document for employment and they want my passport but my passport photo is 5.49 MB and they say you can't upload anything more than 5 MB. How can I shrink that file on my android phone without paying some service?
You're viewing a single thread.
5+ MB sounds like a PNG or the like. Open in photo editor and save as jpg. That should fix it.
Thank you! I don't have exactly the option but you put me in the right direction and I figured it out. Thank you!! got it down to 4.79 MB

Do'h! ok done 😁
Btw, media formats are not really compressible (e.g. zip, 7z, gz, etc.), because they are already compressed by specialized algorithms (png, jpg, avif, etc.).
Png to jpg should be more like 5x compression but maybe something else was going on. Anyway it sounds like the immediate is handled.
