Resize an image to 20 KB

Shrink any photo or scan to 20 KB or less for an online form, keeping its shape and as much quality as the limit allows; the image is compressed in your browser and never uploaded.

Resize image to 20 KBの使い方

  1. 1

    Add the image

    Drop or choose a JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC picture; a photo straight from an iPhone or Android camera is fine.

  2. 2

    Crop if you want to

    Drag the box to keep only what the form needs, such as your face or one page, which leaves more of the 20 KB for detail.

  3. 3

    Adjust the target

    The maximum starts at 20 KB. Add a minimum if your form has one, or type a width and height when it also fixes the pixels.

  4. 4

    Download

    Check the size in KB and bytes on the result card, then save the JPEG; its name ends in -20kb.jpg.

制限と Pro

Free: one image at a time up to 25 MB; the output is a JPEG of up to 4,096 px on its longest side.

With Pro, the picture you start from may be as large as 4 GB. Pro を見る

Resize image to 20 KB について

Twenty kilobytes is a common ceiling on scholarship, admission and recruitment forms, and it is tight: a phone photo is usually 2 to 5 MB, a hundred to two hundred and fifty times more. This page gets a picture under that ceiling with the least visible damage. It first keeps your crop at full resolution and searches the JPEG quality down to 60; if the file is still too heavy, it shrinks the pixel dimensions step by step, keeping the aspect ratio, and searches again, so you get the largest picture that fits rather than a tiny or blocky one.

The output is a baseline JPEG with no camera data, GPS location or thumbnail left in it, which also saves bytes. The result card shows the pixel size it chose, the size in KB (1 KB = 1,024 bytes) and the exact byte count; the file is kept under 20,000 bytes too, for forms that count a kilobyte as 1,000 bytes.

If the form also fixes the pixel size, type the width and height: the crop locks to that shape and only the quality changes. A detailed photo at a large fixed size may not fit at all, and the page will say so rather than quietly shrinking it. Transparent PNGs get a white background, since JPEG has no transparency. For an exam with its own photo and signature rules, the photo and signature resizer has presets.

プライバシー

The image is decoded, cropped, resampled and encoded inside this browser tab, with the repeated JPEG encodes running in a Web Worker; it is never uploaded or stored on a server. The encoder and resampler are downloaded from this site only after you add a picture (HEIC files also fetch the libheif decoder from jsDelivr, without your image). The target you type is remembered in local storage.

Resize image to 20 KB:よくある質問

How do I reduce a photo to 20 KB without it looking blurry?
Crop away everything the form doesn't need first: fewer pixels of background means more bytes for your face or text. The tool then keeps the highest JPEG quality that fits, down to 60, before it starts reducing the pixel dimensions. A plain, evenly lit photo also compresses much better than a dark, grainy one, so retaking it in daylight helps more than any setting.
Will the image keep its proportions?
Yes, unless you type a fixed width and height. With both fields empty the picture keeps the shape of your crop, and when it has to shrink to get under 20 KB the width and height go down by the same factor. With a fixed size the crop box locks to that shape, so nothing is ever stretched or squashed.
My form says 20 KB but rejected a 20 KB file. Why?
Some forms count 20 KB as 20,480 bytes and others as 20,000, and a few reject a file exactly on the limit. Files made here stay under 20,000 bytes, so they pass both ways of counting. If a form still refuses one, check the file type it wants: some accept only .jpg, others also PNG or PDF.
Can I compress a PDF or a document to 20 KB here?
No, this page takes images only: JPG, PNG, WebP and HEIC. Scans of a single page work well if you save the scan as an image first, and black-and-white text pages compress far better than photos. For a multi-page PDF, use a PDF compressor; most forms that cap a PDF allow more than 20 KB.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. On Android and iPhone you can pick a photo from the gallery or files, crop it with your finger, and download the JPEG to the phone's Downloads or Files folder, ready to attach in the browser where you fill in the form. Everything runs in the phone's browser, so after the first image has loaded the encoder, a slow connection no longer matters.
