मेरी कंबोडिया वीज़ा फोटो फाइल बहुत बड़ी है: अमेरिकी इसे 1 एमबी से कम में कैसे कंप्रेस करते हैं?
कंबोडिया ई-वीज़ा के लिए फोटो संबंधी समस्या में "फ़ाइल का आकार बहुत बड़ा है" की त्रुटि को ठीक करना सबसे आसान है, लेकिन यह सबसे परेशान करने वाली भी है। सबसे पहले, फ़ोटो को वर्गाकार में क्रॉप करें - इससे अधिकांश अमेरिकी फ़ोन फ़ोटो 2 MB की सीमा के भीतर आ जाती हैं - फिर उसका आकार बदलें, और यदि आवश्यक हो तो ही उसे कंप्रेस करें।
How do Americans shrink a Cambodia eVisa photo file that is too large?
Crop it to a square first. The Cambodia eVisa photo has to be under 2 MB, and a full-resolution phone photo often runs three to eight megabytes — but cropping a portrait shot down to a square removes the extra background pixels and usually drops the file under 2 MB on its own, with no quality loss to your face. If it is still too big, resize the short side to roughly 600 to 1000 pixels, then re-save as a JPEG at 80-90% quality. Do those three steps in that order and stop the moment you are under the ceiling. The one thing to avoid is over-compressing: never go below 600 pixels on the short side or under about 70% JPEG quality, because a degraded or pixelated photo gets auto-flagged just like an oversized one.
चाबी छीनना
- The Cambodia eVisa photo must be under 2 MB. A full-resolution photo off a modern iPhone or Android phone routinely runs 3 to 8 MB, so a perfectly compliant headshot gets bounced for size alone.
- Crop to a square first. Removing the extra width and height of a portrait photo deletes background pixels you do not need and drops most files under 2 MB on its own — no quality loss to your face.
- Do it in order: crop, then resize the short side to around 600 to 1000 pixels, then re-save as a JPEG at 80-90% quality. Stop the moment you are under the ceiling.
- Never drop below 600 pixels on the short side or under about 70% JPEG quality — too-small or over-compressed photos get auto-flagged just like too-large ones.
- Every phone and computer can do this with built-in tools: iPhone Photos, Android Google Photos, Mac Preview, and Windows Photos all crop and resize without an extra app.
Why your photo is too big, and why it is an easy fix
This guide walks through exactly why phone photos are so large, the crop-then-resize-then-compress sequence that fixes it, and the step-by-step on iPhone, Android, Mac, and Windows. If you want the full size-and-format spec first — pixels, the JPEG-versus-HEIC question, the 2 MB ceiling in context — start with our photo size and file format guide for Americans, then come back here for the compression mechanics. Once the file is under the limit, you can apply in a few minutes.
Why a modern phone photo is three to eight megabytes
Worth knowing before you start: shrinking the file is not the same as lowering the resolution below the floor. You can take an 8 MB, 4000-pixel photo down to a clean 800 KB, 800-pixel square that is still well above the 600-pixel minimum. The two numbers move independently, which is exactly why the crop-first method works so well. If a too-small or low-resolution flag is what you are actually seeing instead, our guide to fixing a rejected Cambodia eVisa photo maps each flag to its precise cause.
The fix: crop, then resize, then compress — in that order
A note on the title of this guide: you do not actually have to hit "under 1 MB." Plenty of compression tools and advice circles around the 1 MB mark as a safe round number, and it is — a sub-1 MB square JPEG sails through. But the real Cambodia eVisa ceiling is 2 MB, so you have more room than the popular 1 MB target suggests. Aim for under 1 MB if it makes you feel safer; you only need to clear 2 MB. Our photo requirements guide for US citizens lays out every spec the form actually checks so you know precisely where the lines are.
Step-by-step on iPhone, Android, Mac, and Windows
If you took the photo on an iPhone and it keeps getting rejected even after you shrink it, the culprit is often the format, not the size — recent iPhones save HEIC, which the form refuses outright. Our iPhone photo guide for Americans walks through switching the camera to "Most Compatible" and converting an existing HEIC to JPEG, so the file is both the right format and the right size before you upload.
The over-compression trap and other mistakes to avoid
If you would rather not fight with file sizes at all, the cleanest path is to crop the photo square right after you take it — a square crop straight from the phone is, for the vast majority of Americans, all the compression you will ever need. Our guide to
अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्नों
Why is my Cambodia eVisa photo file too large?
Because a full-resolution photo off a modern phone routinely runs three to eight megabytes, and the Cambodia eVisa form caps the photo at 2 MB. Recent iPhone and Android cameras shoot at very high resolution — far more pixels than a passport headshot needs — and they save at maximum quality with no compression. The image itself is fine; the file is simply heavier than the ceiling allows.
How do I compress my Cambodia visa photo under 2 MB?
Crop it to a square first, which removes background pixels and usually drops the file under 2 MB on its own with no quality loss to your face. If it is still too big, resize the short side to around 600 to 1000 pixels, then re-save as a JPEG at 80-90% quality. Do those steps in that order and stop the moment you are under the ceiling. Avoid compressing below about 70% quality, which introduces artifacts the validator can flag.
Does the Cambodia eVisa photo really need to be under 1 MB?
No — the actual ceiling is 2 MB, so you have more room than the popular "under 1 MB" advice suggests. A sub-1 MB square JPEG sails through, which is why 1 MB gets quoted as a safe round number, but you only need to clear 2 MB. Aim for under 1 MB if it makes you feel safer; anywhere from roughly 200 KB to just under 2 MB is comfortable.
Will compressing my photo make it look bad and get rejected?
Only if you over-compress. Cropping to a square costs nothing in quality because you are deleting background, not your face, and resizing costs almost nothing as long as you stay above 600 pixels on the short side. The risk is dropping below about 70% JPEG quality, which produces blocky artifacts and smeared skin that the validator can read as a degraded image. Stay in the safe band and the photo looks clean.
How do I shrink the photo on my iPhone without an app?
Open the photo in the Photos app, tap Edit and the crop tool, choose the Square ratio, and save — that alone usually gets you under 2 MB. To shrink the dimensions further with no app, email the cropped photo to yourself and choose a smaller image size in Mail, then save the JPEG that arrives. Confirm the file is JPEG, not HEIC, before uploading, because the form rejects HEIC regardless of size.
Can I just screenshot or text my photo to make it smaller?
No. A screenshot saves as PNG, which the form rejects, and it is usually low-resolution. Texting the photo to yourself compresses it through the messaging app, often below the 600-pixel floor, and leaves you with a re-shared copy rather than the original. Always work from the original JPEG in your camera roll and shrink it with your device's built-in crop and resize tools.
