How to make an image under 20 KB
The tool tries quality levels until it finds the highest one under 20 KB. If even low quality is too big, the picture is made slightly smaller and tried again, so the result always fits.
- Choose the image (JPG, PNG, WEBP or a phone photo).
- The limit is already set to 20 KB - change it if your form says otherwise.
- Press Compress images and download the result.
Common uses
Signatures and passport photos for SSC, UPSC, IBPS, RRB, NEET, JEE and state exam applications, scholarship portals and job forms often have to be 10-20 KB. Check the pixel size your form asks for too - use Resize image first if needed.
Questions
Will my photo look bad at 20 KB?
At 20 KB a full-size phone photo is shrunk noticeably; for signatures and small passport photos it looks fine.
Is the result exactly the limit?
It is always at or under 20 KB (counted as 20,000 bytes, which also satisfies forms that count 1 KB as 1,024 bytes).
