JPEG, PNG, WebP • Max 10MB

Government exam portals across India frequently mandate photo uploads under 20KB. Whether it is the SSC Combined Graduate Level exam, IBPS bank recruitment, or a state public service commission, a 20KB limit is one of the most common requirements you will encounter.

Our free image compressor lets you shrink any photograph to exactly 20KB or less in a single click. The algorithm automatically adjusts JPEG quality to find the sweet spot between small file size and acceptable visual quality. At 20KB you get noticeably better clarity than 10KB while still meeting strict portal requirements.

Everything runs inside your browser — no server upload, no registration, no watermarks. Your original photo stays on your device at all times. The tool supports JPEG, PNG, and WebP input and produces an optimized JPEG output.

After compression, you can preview the result side-by-side, check the exact file size in bytes, and download instantly. This is the fastest way to prepare your photo for any government job application that specifies a 20KB ceiling.
