Why Compress HEIC to 150KB? Everything You Need to Know
HEIC is the default photo format used by iPhones 📱 — sharp, modern, and lightweight. But sometimes, websites and online forms require your images to be under specific file-size limits, like 150KB. This is extremely common for:
- Government forms 🏛️
- Job applications 💼
- Online school/college portals 🎓
- Passport-size photo uploads 🪪
- Document verification portals 📄
- Low-size profile images 👤
iPhone HEIC photos are usually 1–4MB each. Compressing them to 150KB keeps them visually clear while making them easy to upload anywhere — even on slow internet.
Why 150KB Is a Sweet Spot 🟦
Compared to ultra-small sizes (like 10KB or 20KB), 150KB maintains:
- ✨ Good clarity
- ✨ Smooth colors
- ✨ Readable text (if scanning documents)
- ✨ Strong details for faces
It’s a perfect balance between quality and small file size.
