Compress Image to 20KB
Make any photo 20 KB or smaller while keeping it as clear as possible. Ideal for SSC, bank (IBPS/SBI) and railway application forms that limit photos and signatures to 20 KB.
How to compress an image to 20KB
- Choose your photo (JPG, PNG, WebP or a phone photo).
- The maximum size is already set to 20 KB. Change it if your form asks for something else.
- If the form needs exact dimensions, choose “Exact pixels” and enter the width and height.
- Download the result. The exact file size is shown before you download.
Frequently asked questions
How do I reduce a photo to 20 KB?
Choose the photo and the tool automatically finds the highest JPEG quality that keeps the file under 20 KB. If quality alone is not enough, it also reduces the dimensions slightly.
Which forms need a 20 KB photo?
Many recruitment forms such as SSC and bank exams accept photos of 20–50 KB and signatures of 10–20 KB. Always check the notification of your exam for the exact limits.
What if the form also has a minimum size?
Tick “The form also needs a minimum size” and enter it. If a small image is below the minimum, the file is padded with harmless data so it meets the requirement without changing the picture.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. The image is processed by your own browser. It never leaves your phone or computer, so it is safe for ID photos and personal pictures.
