When you need an image under 20 KB

Government portals, exam forms, and job applications often require photos under 20 KB. Passport and ID photos almost always need to be this small. This tool finds the best quality that fits within 20 KB so your photo still looks clear on screen.

Tips for best results

For the best result at 20 KB, make sure your image is already cropped to just the face or subject. A full-resolution photo from a phone will lose too much detail when squeezed this small. Crop first, then compress. If the result looks too blurry, try switching the output format to WebP which compresses further at the same visual quality.

FAQ

Is compressing to 20 KB free?
Yes. No watermark, no file limit, no sign-up. Compress as many images as you want.
Will my image look blurry at 20 KB?
The compressor uses SSIM-based quality probing to find the highest quality that fits within 20 KB. For most photos the difference from the original is invisible. If the result looks too soft, try a slightly higher target or switch to WebP format which compresses more efficiently.
What formats can I compress?
JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, and animated GIF. The tool automatically picks the best compression strategy for each format.
Does this upload my image to a server?
No. The compression engine runs entirely in your browser. Your image never leaves your device.
Can I compress multiple images at once?
Yes. Drop multiple files and they all get compressed to the target size. Download each result individually or all at once as a zip.
