Why Resize Images to 20KB?

Government portals, job applications, and academic systems worldwide enforce strict file size limits to ensure efficient data processing and faster upload times. The 20KB standard is particularly common for passport photos, signature images, and official documentation across civil service exams, university admissions, and professional certifications.

Traditional photo editing tools require tedious trial-and-error with quality sliders, often resulting in files that still exceed size limits or suffer from poor visual quality. Our intelligent compression algorithm eliminates this guesswork by automatically calculating the optimal balance between image dimensions and compression quality to achieve your exact target size while preserving professional clarity.

How to Use

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the file size targeting?
Our algorithm achieves within 5% of your target size, meaning a 20KB target typically results in 19-21KB. This precision ensures compliance with strict portal requirements. The system performs multiple compression passes to converge on the exact target while maximizing visual quality.
Can I resize to sizes other than 20KB?
Absolutely! While 20KB is the default, you can target any size from 5KB to 1000KB (1MB). Common requirements include 10KB (some government forms), 30KB (academic applications), 50KB (professional certifications), 100KB (email optimization), and custom sizes for specific portals.
Are my uploaded photos stored on your servers?
No. Your privacy is our top priority. Images are processed in memory and automatically deleted within 30 minutes. We never store, access, analyze, or share your personal photos. All transfers use HTTPS encryption, and our infrastructure is fully GDPR-compliant.
Why do some portals reject my resized image?
Portal rejections typically occur due to additional requirements beyond file size: specific dimensions (e.g., 300×300px square), aspect ratio (1:1, 4:3, etc.), background color (white or light), file format restrictions (JPEG only), or minimum quality thresholds. Always verify the complete requirements of your target portal before final submission.
Does this work with photos from smartphones?
Yes! Modern smartphones capture images in various formats including HEIC (iPhones) and high-resolution JPEG (Android). Our tool automatically processes all formats, applies correct rotation based on EXIF metadata, and handles photos from any device—iOS, Android, cameras—with seamless support for portrait and landscape orientations.
