Compress an image to 20 KB.

Many application portals cap photos and signatures at 20 KB. This tool hits that limit automatically, keeping your image as sharp as the budget allows.

  • Compression runs in your browser — the photo never leaves it
  • Set an exact target like 100 KB and the quality is found for you
  • Keeps your original if re-encoding would only make it bigger

How it works.

  1. 1Drop your photo into the box above — the 20 KB target is already set.
  2. 2Tap Compress to 20 KB. Quality and dimensions are balanced automatically on your device.
  3. 3Download the result and upload it to your portal.

Frequently asked questions

Will my photo still be sharp at 20 KB?

A 20 KB budget is small, so some softness is normal for large photos. The tool searches for the best possible quality within the limit — for passport-style photos and signatures the result is usually perfectly acceptable.

Why does my portal reject files over 20 KB?

Many government and exam portals enforce strict limits to keep their storage and bandwidth costs manageable. The output here lands at or just under 20 KB, so it passes those checks.

Is a signature image supported too?

Yes — signatures compress especially well because they contain few colors. A scanned signature typically fits under 20 KB with no visible change.
