Flexible Image Compression for Every Need

Easily format your digital photo for your German electronic health insurance card. Bypass strict upload limits for Techniker Krankenkasse, AOK, Barmer, and DAK portals.

Use Case

Designed for new employees and students in Germany who need to upload a standardized profile picture to their Krankenkasse (health insurance provider) to receive their physical card.

How It Works

When you register for public health insurance in Germany—whether through TK, AOK, Barmer, or DAK—you must upload a portrait photo to be printed on your official 'elektronische Gesundheitskarte' (eGK). These insurance portals are notoriously picky, often rejecting photos that exceed small file size limits or have massive dimensions. Our eGK photo resizer instantly solves this frustration. By automatically reducing the maximum width to 600 pixels and applying a crisp 70% JPEG quality, your selfie is instantly optimized to pass the Krankenkasse portal checks on the very first try. Best of all, the compression runs securely on your own device, meaning you don't waste mobile data or compromise your privacy.

What You Get

Optimized images that balance quality and file size for faster uploads.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about compressing images online.

Unlike a strict passport photo, an eGK photo does not need to be perfectly biometric, but it must clearly show your full face (front-facing) against a neutral background. You can usually smile slightly!
Modern smartphones take massive 12-megapixel photos that are simply too heavy for insurance web portals to process. Shrinking the file size using our tool ensures the portal can quickly accept and process your image.
No! The photo printed on your physical Gesundheitskarte is very small (roughly 2x3 cm). A 600-pixel digital image provides more than enough resolution for the insurance company to print a perfectly sharp, clear ID card.
