Photos too large to send? These guides will help you choose a size limit and get your files ready.

- [When SizeCap is the right tool](https://sizecap.com/guides/when-sizecap-helps/) — the combined size-cap job, and when another compressor is a better fit.
- [Fit several photos under one size limit](https://sizecap.com/guides/compress-photos-total-size/) — useful when a website checks the size of all your files together.
- [Make photos smaller for email](https://sizecap.com/guides/photos-for-email/) — send a few photos without running into attachment limits.
- [Shrink photos for a job application](https://sizecap.com/guides/photos-for-job-applications/) — a portal rejects a file, or several uploads share one budget.
- [A website form says your file is too large](https://sizecap.com/guides/form-says-file-too-large/) — the same little size walls on government, tax, exam, and visa sites around the world.
- [Shrink photos for a government form](https://sizecap.com/guides/photos-for-government-forms/) — an ID, exam, or visa portal rejects a JPEG over a KB limit.
- [Shrink files for a tax office upload](https://sizecap.com/guides/files-for-tax-offices/) — a receipt photo or PDF has to fit IRS, HMRC, ELSTER, GST, or another tax site.
- [Shrink a PDF for a government form](https://sizecap.com/guides/pdf-for-government-forms/) — USCIS, VFS, IRCC, ANTS, GST, or another portal rejects a scan over a megabyte limit.
- [Fit claim photos under one upload limit](https://sizecap.com/guides/photos-for-insurance-claims/) — damage or receipt photos have to fit one claim upload.
- [Make listing photos small enough to upload](https://sizecap.com/guides/photos-for-marketplace-listings/) — a selling site caps each photo or the whole listing.
- [Reduce a photo to a KB limit](https://sizecap.com/guides/compress-jpeg-to-kb/) — get a single JPEG ready for a form or application.

Need a PDF under a portal cap instead of JPEGs? Use the [PDF compressor](https://sizecap.com/pdf/) or [photos to PDF](https://sizecap.com/pdf/from-photos/). Need a width and height first? Use [resize](https://sizecap.com/resize/). See all of them on [SizeCap tools](https://sizecap.com/tools/).

Whichever you need, your files stay on your device while SizeCap makes them smaller.
