Compress an image to 20 KB
Twenty kilobytes is an unusually tight limit, and it is where most compressors give up or quietly hand back something larger. Reaching it reliably means reducing the dimensions as well as the quality.

How it works
- Add your photo.
- The target is set to 20 KB already.
- Press the button to compress, then save the result and check it is still legible before you submit it.
Questions
Will my face still be recognisable at 20 KB?
For a small passport-style photo, generally yes. Do look at the result before submitting: at this size, detail is genuinely scarce and some forms reject images that are too degraded.
Why does the image get smaller in dimensions too?
Below a certain point, quality reduction alone cannot reach the target. Fewer pixels is the only remaining way to get there, so that is what happens next.
