Compress images for your resume and job applications
Most job portals and ATS systems reject oversized attachments — LinkedIn caps at 8MB, many company portals at 5MB, and email attachments at 10MB. Skwish compresses your resume photo, portfolio screenshots, and supporting images locally in your browser with no uploads. Drop your files, adjust quality, and download optimized images ready to attach to every application.

Resume image tips
Use these before you upload or share the page.
Keep your headshot under 200KB at 300×300px for most ATS systems — JPEG at 80% quality is usually enough for a clean professional photo.
Resize portfolio screenshots to 1920px wide before compressing; most recruiters view on laptops and larger files just waste the attachment budget.
Use the batch ZIP export to prepare all application images in one pass — each file gets a skwish prefix so you can track which are optimized.
