(As per the Kaveri Online Services, the joint photo specification is B2 measurement + PNG Format 2673 * 1890 pixel

For this specification, most of the photo studios provide a file size of around 4MB whereas the max file size on Kaveri is only 2MB

I tried an online file compressor to reduce my file size from 4MB to 2MB, but most of the compressor also reduces the pixels. Kaveri Online Services was not accepting photo less than the specified pixel of 2673*1890 in PNG format so I had difficulty uploading photo less than 2MB

After an hour of internet search, I found a compressor that helped to reduce the file size without compromising the pixel, shared the weblink in comment for your reference

I wish Kaveri Online Services would have given the max file size of 5MB instead of 2MB)
