How to compress an image to an exact size with Flecto

1. Select one imageClick the file in File Explorer. Target size works on one file at a time.
2. Hold Ctrl and right-clickFlecto opens the blue edit dial. Choose Reduce size, then Target size.
3. Type the limitEnter the limit in MB: 0.1 for 100 KB, 0.2 for 200 KB, 1 for 1 MB in the size box, or drag the slider. Flecto shows the original size above it.
4. Continue and get your copyFlecto saves a new file ending in "- reduced" next to the original, and only when it really fits under the limit. If it cannot fit, Flecto tells you and saves nothing.

Good to know

• Flecto lowers the JPG quality first, and reduces the dimensions only when quality alone cannot reach the size.
• The copy is saved as JPG. An image with transparency is saved as WebP so the transparent background survives. If a form insists on JPG, convert the image to JPG first.
• Animated images are not supported. Your original is never changed.
• The free plan includes 10 conversions every week. Failed or cancelled files do not count.

Sizes that forms usually ask for

Always check the form itself, because each one sets its own limits and some also demand exact pixel dimensions. Flecto handles the file size; use Crop & Rotate on the same edit dial to get the shape right first.

Why do this on your own PC

The images people need to shrink for forms are passport photos, signatures and scans of identity documents. Uploading those to a free compression website means handing a copy to a company you know nothing about. Flecto compresses the file locally and saves the result next to the original.
