Target size: 20KB
Need a photo under 20KB for an exam application, government form or visa upload? Size limits that strict usually reject normal photos. This compressor iterates over quality and dimensions until your image fits under 20KB — while keeping it as recognizable as possible.
How to compress image to 20kb
- Drag and drop your image (or click to browse). JPG, PNG and WebP are supported (HEIC on Safari/iOS), up to 50MB each.
- The compressor automatically reduces quality and, if needed, dimensions until the file is at or below 20KB.
- Review the result — the new file size is shown next to the original.
- Click Download to save the compressed image to your device. Nothing is ever uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
Is this tool really free?
Yes — unlimited use, no signup, no watermark.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Compression runs entirely inside your browser, so your files never leave your device.
Which formats can I compress?
JPG, PNG and WebP everywhere; HEIC on Safari/iOS. Output is JPEG, which offers the best size-to-quality ratio for photos.
What if my image cannot reach 20KB?
Very large photos may hit our quality floor before reaching 20KB. The tool then returns the smallest achievable file and tells you so, instead of silently failing. Cropping or resizing the image first usually helps.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes, it works in modern mobile browsers including Safari and Chrome.
Can I compress multiple images at once?
Yes, drop several files at once and download them individually.
