Compress image for NADRA (CNIC, NICOP)
under 100KB
Hit the file size limit CNIC and NICOP portals expect — in your browser. No signup, no uploads, no servers.
Many people look up the NADRA photo size limit or how to reduce image size for NADRA CNIC, NICOP, or FRC forms. This page helps you meet the typical NADRA picture KB requirement (often around 100KB) before you upload a photo to the NADRA portal.
Use this page when you need to compress an image for a NADRA CNIC application, NICOP renewal, or FRC upload where the portal caps file size. If your NADRA portal rejects the image because the file is too large, shrink it here first — same engine as our free image compressor (any KB). For other forms try compress image for FBISE under 50KB or compress visa photo to 350KB.

Why your NADRA image is rejected
- File size too large — often above ~100KB for online CNIC / NICOP / FRC uploads.
- Wrong format — JPG/JPEG is usually required.
- Dimensions or background — white background and correct crop (fix in an editor; this tool only handles KB).
This tool helps you compress an image for NADRA CNIC, NICOP, or FRC when the issue is KB size. It works for CNIC, NICOP, and FRC photo upload paths — preview before and after, then download.

Why does NADRA keep rejecting my photo?
Common causes are file size over the limit (often around 100KB), non-white background, wrong dimensions, or the face not matching their guidelines. Fix size here; fix crop and background separately if needed.
What file size should I use for CNIC / NICOP uploads?
Many applicants stay under 100KB. Start with the 100 KB preset; if the portal still complains, try 80 KB or 60 KB.
Does compression ruin quality?
We optimize for your target KB while keeping the photo usable. Use the before/after preview and full-size comparison to judge.
Is my photo uploaded to your servers?
No. Compression runs entirely in your browser. Your file does not leave your device.
Can I compress signatures or other scans?
Yes. Any image you can open here can be compressed to a target KB the same way.
Is this free?
Yes — no signup, no watermarks. The site is ad-supported.
