Why Do You Need to Compress Images to 20KB?

Many online portals have strict limitations on the file sizes you can upload. Here are the most common scenarios where a 20KB image is required:

• Job Applications and Resumes: HR portals often require a passport-sized photograph that does not exceed 20KB to 50KB.
• Government Portals and Visas: Official government websites, passport applications, and visa forms globally are notorious for requiring extremely small image sizes to save server space.
• University Admissions: Academic institutions frequently mandate small profile pictures for student ID generation and application forms.

Balancing Quality and File Size

When you compress an image from a large size (like 5MB) down to 20KB, you are performing a "lossy" compression. This means some pixel data is permanently removed to shrink the file. While our tool uses advanced algorithms to preserve as much visual quality as possible, we recommend starting with high-quality original images. If your image looks too blurry at 20KB, try cropping the unnecessary background out of the picture before compressing it.

Privacy and Security First

We understand that the images you upload—such as ID photos or personal documents—are sensitive. Our online compressor processes your files securely. We do not store, share, or claim ownership of your uploaded media, ensuring a safe and private experience every time you use our tool.
