Make photos smaller before you insert them
You add ten phone photos to a report or project file and the Word file or PDF reaches 60MB, too heavy for Gmail or a portal. On the page each photo is small, but inside the file they are still full size.
Set a width, height or percentage and scale a batch in one pass. The aspect ratio is kept for you.

Each row shows the current size and what it will become.
Width, height, longest side or percent. The other dimension follows from the aspect ratio.
The new size is appended to each file name.
For a forum or blog with a fixed column, "width" is the reliable choice, because portrait and landscape shots all end up the same width.
"Longest side" instead matches whichever dimension is larger, regardless of orientation. Good for tidying a mixed batch to roughly the same size.
"Percent" scales every image by the same factor, which preserves the relative sizes when the originals differ.
With this on, any image already smaller than your target is left at its original size, so no small picture gets stretched into a blur.
Especially useful when applying one value across a batch of mixed sizes.
The ratio is always kept, because stretching distorts faces and text. To hit a specific format, resize first and crop in an image editor. The result is better.
Fewer pixels means a much smaller file. To keep the dimensions and only cut the size, use image compress.
One setting applies to the whole batch. Split it into two runs if you need different values.
Downscaling always loses information. High-quality interpolation is used, so it holds up well for the size. Check whether you set it smaller than you needed.

Your iPhone photos reached the PC as .HEIC files that Windows will not open, or an exam or visa portal refuses them because it wants JPEG. Why iPhone photos are HEIC, what Windows needs to show them, and how to get JPGs without a paid codec.
SSC wants the signature at 10 to 20 KB, IBPS a photo between 20 and 50 kb, NEET and UPSC each their own ranges, and the e-Visa a passport PDF under 300 KB. Here are the official numbers side by side, why a portal rejects a file that looks fine, and how to hit the range without blurring it.
