Compress JPG to 20KB
Compress a JPG to 20KB or less while keeping it readable. Ideal for exam portals, signature uploads, and form attachments where a tiny file size is required.
Why compress a JPG to 20KB?
Most image-heavy workflows need predictable file sizes — government forms cap at 20 KB, listing platforms optimise for sub-second loads, and email clients warn above a few MB. Hitting 20 KB exactly keeps you under every common limit while keeping the photo clearly recognisable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why 20KB?
20KB is the smallest size most exam application forms and government portals accept for a photograph. Anything larger is rejected; smaller files often look blurry.
Will a 20KB JPG be readable on a screen?
Yes — for a typical phone-camera photo the resolution stays usable. The compressor preserves as much detail as possible within the size budget; you can preview before downloading.
Can I compress any JPG to 20KB?
Almost. Very large photos may need to be resized first. Our compressor handles both in one pass.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. The whole pipeline runs in your browser using the Canvas API; nothing leaves your device.
Other compression targets
Try a different target size — every variant uses the same compressor with a pre-set budget.
