About compress image to 20kb
Online application forms often set an upper limit on photo and signature uploads, and state it in KB. The limit is set by each form, so check the exact number on the page you are uploading to before you compress.
20KB is a very small file. A phone photo is usually several megabytes, so reaching 20KB normally means the tool lowers the JPEG quality and then reduces the pixel size. That suits a scanned signature or a small passport style photo, where the form only needs a small image.
For a signature, crop it tight first with the Crop Image tool so the 20KB is spent on the signature rather than on empty paper.
Compress Image to 20KB: common questions
Will my photo be exactly 20KB?
It will be 20KB or smaller. The tool searches for the highest quality that fits under the limit, so the file is usually a little under 20KB.
Why did the pixel size of my photo change?
When even low quality cannot bring a large photo under 20KB, the tool scales it down until it fits. The download shows the final size.
