Resize photos for exam & government forms
Many application portals — exam boards, passport and visa sites, banks and job forms across India, the US, UK, Canada and Australia — cap the photo file size. This tool gets your image under 20 KB while keeping it as clear as possible, so uploads aren't rejected for being too large.
Where a 20 KB photo is needed
- Indian exam & government forms (SSC, UPSC, state PSCs, university portals) commonly ask for photos around 20–50 KB and signatures around 10–20 KB.
- Passport & visa uploads each set their own cap — use the passport photo maker or your country's photo spec to get the exact size and background first, then compress here.
- Job & web forms worldwide often limit uploads to 50–200 KB.
Always check the exact limit shown on your form — then set it above.

Frequently asked questions
How do I resize a photo to 20 KB?
Upload your image above, keep the target at 20 KB (or change it), and click “Compress to size”. We lower the JPEG quality first and then the dimensions if needed, so the file lands under 20 KB, then you download it. Everything happens in your browser.
Will resizing to 20 KB reduce quality?
Some quality is traded for the smaller size, but we keep the highest quality that still fits your target, so the photo stays as sharp as possible at that file size.
Is the 20 KB compressor free and private?
Yes — it's completely free with no watermark and no sign-up, and your photo is processed entirely on your device. Nothing is uploaded to any server.
What formats are supported?
JPG, PNG, WebP and HEIC (iPhone photos) inputs; the compressed result is downloaded as an optimised JPG.
