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?

    Try run it through https://tinyjpg.com/ and see if that sufficiently compresses it. Not open-source and not an app though.

    Otherwise, it’s likely a high res image that doesn’t have to be such a high res. Open it in an image editor and resize the image to a smaller size. Most editors should support resizing and you should be able to find open-source ones on F-Droid.

      All better alternatives than uploading your stuff to a proprietary server (as if that would matter when you have no idea whats running in the backend)
