Compress image to 20 KB: how it works
Online forms often reject photos that are too large. Choose your image below: the tool automatically finds the best quality that fits under 20 KB, and only reduces the dimensions if it has to. You can do several photos at once and download them as a ZIP.
Will my photo still look clear at 20 KB?
Yes for passport-size photos and documents. For a large phone photo, also enter a max width (for example 600 px). A smaller picture stays sharp at a low file size.
My form says "between 10 KB and 20 KB". Will this work?
Yes. The result is just under 20 KB, which is above 10 KB for almost every photo or signature scan.
How to compress images
- Choose your images.
- Pick the format and quality. Add a max width if the images are very large, e.g. phone photos.
- Press Compress images, check the new sizes, then download one by one or all as a ZIP.
Questions
What is WebP and should I use it?
WebP is a modern image format that is usually 25–35% smaller than JPG at the same quality. All current browsers show it, so it's ideal for websites and online stores. For sending to older apps or printing, choose JPG.
How do I make my photo under 50 KB for a job application?
Choose your photo, set "Target file size" to "Under 50 KB", choose JPG, and press Compress. The tool lowers the quality, and the size if needed, until the photo fits. If the portal also asks for exact dimensions, enter them as the max width and height.
Why did a file get bigger?
This happens when the original was already heavily compressed, or when saving a photo as PNG. Try JPG or WebP with a lower quality, or keep the original.
Are my images uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser. Your images stay on your device.
Does it remove location data from photos?
Yes. Saving a new copy drops the hidden photo information (EXIF), including GPS location, which is good for privacy before posting online.
