About this tool

This is the main compressor: it opens at 20 KB, and the size buttons or the Custom box let you change the limit to whatever your form says. Instead of a vague quality slider, it searches JPEG quality from high to low and keeps the best version that fits under your number. If even a low quality is too large, it shrinks the picture a step at a time, so you always get a file under the limit or a clear message when that is impossible.

Twenty kilobytes is the size that catches most people out. It holds roughly 60,000 to 100,000 pixels of ordinary photo detail, which is a head-and-shoulders picture around 250 by 320 pixels. That is why the typical 20 KB uses are a small passport-style photo, a signature, a thumb impression or a scanned stamp. In the exam notices we checked, SSC and IBPS ask for a signature in a 10 to 20 KB window, so this page is a natural fit for it.

The output is always a JPG, whatever you add. A PNG screenshot, WebP picture or a photo from the camera roll all come out as JPEG, and transparent areas are filled with white. The file is sized so that it passes whether a portal counts a KB as 1,000 or as 1,024 bytes.

Why a photo stays above 20 KB, and what to do

The most common reason is that the picture is mostly background. A full-length selfie in a room spends its bytes on the wall, the furniture and the light, not your face. Crop to head and shoulders before you compress; it can halve the file before the tool even starts.

The second reason is noise. Photos taken in a dim room carry grain, and grain is expensive to encode. Move to a window, turn off beauty filters and try again. If you only have a dark photo, a small brightness increase in your gallery editor helps.

When the form gives a minimum too

Some forms ask for a file between, say, 10 and 20 KB, and reject anything smaller. This page makes the best-looking file under your maximum, which can land below the minimum for simple images such as a signature on white paper. For forms with both limits, use the exam photo resizer or the increase-size tool, which make sure the file is not too small.

Common uses

  • Signature and thumb-impression uploads on exam, scholarship and bank forms
  • Small passport-style photos on portals with a low cap
  • Profile pictures for older websites that reject anything bigger
  • Quickly trying other limits (50, 100, 200 KB or a custom number) for a form with its own size

Questions

Will the photo look blurry at 20 KB?

A head-and-shoulders photo around 250 by 320 pixels looks fine. A photo with a lot of background or fine detail will look softer. Crop closer to your face first.

Can I compress PNG files?

Yes. PNGs are converted to JPG, which is what almost every form expects. Transparent areas are filled with white.

Why is my result under 20 KB instead of exactly 20?

The tool keeps the best quality that fits. If the picture compresses well, it simply needs fewer bytes. If your form also states a minimum size, use the exam photo resizer, which pads up to it.

Is there a file size limit for what I add?

Nothing is uploaded, so there is no server limit. Very large photos just take a second longer on an older phone.
