How to compress an image to 20 KB

  1. 1. Choose the image

    Pick the scanned signature or photo you need to upload. JPG, PNG and WebP work.

  2. 2. Wait for the 20 KB copy

    Compression starts by itself and aims for a file under 20 KB. No size to choose.

  3. 3. Check and upload

    The smaller image downloads on its own. Open it once to check it is still clear, then upload it.

FAQ

Which forms need an image under 20 KB?

Signatures are usually capped at 10 to 20 KB and small photos at 20 KB on exam and job portals such as SSC, IBPS and state recruitment forms.

How does it reach 20 KB?

It lowers the JPG quality first and then makes the picture smaller in pixels until the file fits. A PNG is saved as a JPG when that is the only way to fit.

Will the picture still be clear?

A face or signature stays readable at this size. Fine detail in a large photo is lost, which is where the size is saved.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. The image is compressed inside your browser, so photos, signatures and ID scans never leave your device.

The form also asks for a width and height. Can I set them?

Crop or resize the picture in the Photo editor first, then bring it here to reach the file size.

Is it free?

Yes. There are no ads, no watermark and no daily limit.
