About the Compress Image to 20 KB

20 KB is a very small target — common for signatures and small photos on exam-application portals. At 20 KB you almost always have to shrink the dimensions too, not just the quality; that is the number-one reason people fail to get under it. This tool reduces both, locally in your browser, and outputs a form-ready JPG.

Frequently asked questions

Why can’t I get my image under 20 KB?

Usually the dimensions are too large. 20 KB only fits a small image — crop or resize it down first (for example to a few hundred pixels wide), then target 20 KB.

Is JPG or PNG better for 20 KB?

JPG — it compresses far smaller than PNG, which is essential at a target this tight. This tool outputs JPG by default.
