Compress a Zoom virtual background that actually holds up at 1080p
Zoom is fussy in a specific way. Its virtual background picker wants a 16:9 image and will scale or crop whatever you give it, and anything past the file-size ceiling simply will not upload. A portrait-orientation phone photo is the worst case: wrong aspect ratio and several times the file size, so it gets cropped to a sliver and may still fail the limit. The fix is a two-step job that Skwish does in one pass: resize to a 16:9 frame at 1920x1080, then compress to land comfortably under Zoom's cap. Because the compression runs in the browser you get a live before/after size readout and you keep the original untouched — useful when you want several backgrounds and do not want to keep re-uploading originals to a web service to re-shrink them.

Zoom virtual background specifics
Use these before you upload or share the page.
Use 1920x1080, 16:9. Zoom scales to this, so matching it avoids both letterboxing and crop.
Aim for 1-2MB even though the cap is higher. Smaller files load faster when you join a call.
Test with a green screen off. Without a real green screen Zoom approximates the cutout, and a smooth, uncluttered background makes that approximation cleaner.
