Reduce receipt photo file size until the upload finally accepts it

A phone photo of a paper receipt is usually 3-6MB because the camera optimises for detail you will never look at again. You need exactly one thing from that file: the merchant, the date, and the total. Every expense portal, tax app, and email inbox that rejects the file does so because of bytes that carry no information you care about. Reducing receipt photo size is one of the highest-yield compressions there is, because text on flat paper drops 70-85% while staying completely readable — a 4MB receipt becomes 200-400KB and the amount is just as sharp as before. The trick is stopping before the text breaks up. Work in the other direction from most photos: resize first to around 1600px on the long edge — receipts hold no extra detail beyond that — then compress, then zoom in on the total to confirm.

The two-step that makes receipts tiny

Use these before you upload or share the page.

Resize to about 1600px on the long edge first. A receipt has no detail past that, and resizing removes more bytes than the quality slider ever will.

Then compress to 100-250KB. Combined, that is typically a 90-95% reduction from the original phone photo.

Check the total, date, and merchant name at full zoom after compressing. If all three read cleanly you can stop; the rest of the receipt carries no information you need.
