About this tool

Many online forms and websites refuse a photo bigger than a set size. 20 KB is used for signatures and small photos for exam, job and government forms. This tool saves your photo as a JPG at the highest quality that still fits under 20 KB - it tries one quality after another until the file fits - and makes the picture a few pixels smaller only when that is the only way. The result is checked before you download it, so it is never over the limit.

Questions

How do I compress an image to 20 KB?

Add the photo - the size is already set to 20 KB - and press Download. The tool finds the best quality that fits under 20 KB.

Will the photo still look good at 20 KB?

At 20 KB a photo is small, so the tool also makes it fewer pixels if it must - faces and signatures stay clear, which is what forms check.

Can I compress many photos to 20 KB at once?

Yes - add them all; they come back together in one ZIP.

My form also asks for exact pixels - what do I do?

Choose "Pixels", type the width and height and download; then add that picture again and choose "Size in KB".

Are my photos uploaded?

No. Everything happens in your browser, on your own device - your photos never leave it.
