Increase Image Size in KB (Meet Minimum File-Size Rules)
Almost every compressor shrinks. But some portals print a floor as well as a ceiling | SSC wants photos between 20 and 50 KB, and a 12 KB file bounces just like a 90 KB one.
Open Image ResizerA file is under the floor for one of two reasons: the pixels are tiny (a 200 × 260 thumbnail) or the quality was squeezed too hard. Fix the pixels first | upscaling to the real spec (413 × 531 for 35 × 45 mm) with high-quality smoothing adds genuine information the encoder can spend, and the KB rises naturally.
Then re-encode at high quality: our converters and SSC Photo Resizer let quality run at 90+, and the result card prints the exact achieved size, so you can confirm the file sits inside the window before uploading.
What you should not do is rename or pad a file with junk bytes | portals that check content will flag it, and the image stays a blurry thumbnail. Honest upscaling plus honest encoding is the path that passes review, and it runs entirely on your device.

How to increase an image size in KB
- Open Image Resizer and upscale to the portal pixel spec (e.g. 413 × 531).
- Convert or re-save at quality 90+ | JPEG re-encoding at high quality raises KB naturally.
- Check the achieved size on the result card | if still under, raise quality to 100 or pixels further.
- Verify against the notification window (e.g. 20-50 KB) and upload.
