Compress a photo or signature to under 20 KB for online forms. Free, private and done in your browser.

Exam, job and government forms often cap a signature or a small photo at 20 KB. The 20 KB target is already selected: drop your images and each one is saved just under 20 KB with the best quality that size allows. Nothing is uploaded: everything runs in your browser.

Target file size
Enter a size between 1 KB and 50 MB.

Each image is saved just under this size. 1 KB counts as 1,000 bytes, so files also pass the strictest upload checks.

Output format

PNG cannot be shrunk by quality, so PNG files are saved as JPG or WebP. Only WebP keeps transparency: JPG gets a white background. With "Same as original", a transparent PNG becomes WebP and any other PNG becomes JPG.

Dimensions

When lowering the quality is not enough to reach the size, the image is scaled down step by step until it fits.

Optional: images larger than this are scaled down first, keeping their proportions.

Your images never leave your device: everything runs in your browser.

About Compress Image to 20KB

This free tool compresses an image to under 20 KB. A 20 KB limit is typical for signatures, thumb impressions and small photos on exam registrations, job portals and government forms, which reject a file as soon as it is a few bytes too heavy.

For every image, the browser searches the encoder quality step by step and keeps the highest quality that still fits under 20 KB. When lowering the quality is not enough, it scales the image down gradually until it fits, and an image that is already under 20 KB is kept as it is. A target counts 1 KB as 1,000 bytes, so the file also passes the strictest upload checks.

You can add up to 30 images at once, save them as JPG or WebP (or keep the original format), cap the width and height, and download one file or everything as a ZIP. Nothing is uploaded: the compression runs entirely in your browser, so your photos stay private. Need another size? Pick any other chip or type your own value.

How to use Compress Image to 20KB

  1. The 20 KB target is already selected; change it if your form asks for another size.
  2. Choose the output format: JPG, WebP or the same as the original.
  3. Drop up to 30 images (JPG, PNG, WebP or GIF), or paste one with Ctrl+V.
  4. Check each result with the before and after slider and its final size.
  5. Download a single image, or all of them as a ZIP file.

Frequently asked questions

Photograph or scan the signature, drop the image here and download the result: the 20 KB target is already set. A signature on white paper usually ends up far below 20 KB with crisp strokes.

Yes. With "Allow smaller dimensions" on, the tool lowers the quality first and then reduces the pixel size until the photo fits. A face photo of a few hundred pixels wide stays perfectly readable at 20 KB.

Use the Photo & Signature Resizer: it crops to the exact width and height and fits the file inside a minimum and maximum KB range, for example 10 to 20 KB for an IBPS signature.

No. The whole compression runs in your browser, so your images never leave your device and the tool works even with private documents.
