Frequently asked questions

Will this upload my photo?

Yes. Upload Requirements tools send the selected image to ImgShrink's server for temporary processing, then delete the source and result after the short retention period.

Does this guarantee official approval?

No. The tool fixes hard file rules such as format, pixels, ratio, file size and metadata. It does not judge expression, background, face position, shadows or document-office decisions.

Do I need an account?

No. You can process one photo and download the result without signing in.
