Why 100 KB and 200 KB Are the Most Common Targets
Across thousands of online application portals worldwide, 100 KB and 200 KB are the two most frequently mandated file size targets.
Portals choose these brackets because:
- 100 KB: Ideal balance between sharp portrait clarity and manageable server storage for passport photos and exam admit cards.
- 200 KB: The gold standard for identity card scans, PAN cards, driver's licenses, and banking documents.
Exact Mode vs. Minimum Mode
When sizing files on SizeIncreaser, you have two powerful modes:
1. Exact Mode (Exact Target Bytes)
- Formats the file so its total size on disk equals exactly 102,400 bytes (for 100 KB) or 204,800 bytes (for 200 KB).
- Perfect for strict portal forms that reject files even 1 byte over or under a specific target.
2. Minimum Mode (At Least Target Bytes)
- Guarantees the resulting file is at least the requested threshold (e.g. $ge 100 ext{ KB}$).
- Recommended if your portal specifies an open range like "Between 100 KB and 500 KB".
