Why Compress an Image to 20KB?
Many government portals, visa application systems, and official online forms enforce a strict 20KB file size limit for photo uploads. These limits exist because older government servers have limited storage and bandwidth, and standardizing photo sizes makes batch processing faster and more reliable. Common examples include passport renewal portals, driving licence applications, voter ID uploads, and scholarship application forms. When your photo exceeds the limit, the upload simply fails — leaving you frustrated and stuck. Our browser-based compressor uses a smart binary-search quality algorithm that finds the highest JPEG quality that still fits within 20KB. This means you get the sharpest possible image at the required size, without having to install any software. The entire process happens inside your browser, so your photos are never sent to any server.
