Questions
How do I reduce a photo to 20 KB?
Choose your photo. The target is already set to 20 KB, so the tool compresses it straight away and shows the new size before you download.
Will the photo still be clear at 20 KB?
A passport-style photo or a signature usually stays clear at 20 KB. A large, detailed photo has to be made smaller in width and height to fit, so crop it close first for the sharpest result.
What if the form also sets a smallest size or a pixel size?
This page keeps the file under the limit but does not force a minimum. For forms that set a KB range or an exact pixel size, such as exam applications, use the Exam Photo and Signature Resizer, which meets both limits.
Is 20 KB counted as 20,000 or 20,480 bytes?
The tool aims for under 20,000 bytes, the smaller of the two, so the file passes whichever way a website counts.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The photo is compressed in your own browser and never leaves your device.
