Processed entirely in your browserWhy Government Portals Need Small Image Sizes
Government job application portals, exam registration forms, and scholarship applications often specify exact file size limits for photos and signatures — commonly 20KB to 50KB. These strict limits mean your phone or camera photo (often several MB) must be significantly compressed before uploading.
How to Compress an Image to a Specific Size
Upload your photo, then either adjust the quality slider manually or enter your target size in KB (for example, 50 for most government forms). Our tool will compress the image and show you the exact resulting file size, letting you fine-tune until it fits the requirement.
Maintaining Photo Quality While Compressing
The key to good compression is finding the right balance — too much compression makes the photo blurry, while too little won't meet the size limit. Our tool shows a live side-by-side comparison so you can visually verify the compressed image still looks acceptable before downloading.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I compress an image to exactly 50KB?
Yes, enter 50 in the 'Target Size (KB)' field, and the tool will automatically adjust quality to get as close as possible to that target while keeping the image usable.
What image formats can I compress?
JPG, PNG, and WEBP images are all supported for compression.
Will compression affect how my photo looks?
Some quality reduction is expected with heavy compression, but our tool is optimized to preserve facial clarity and detail as much as possible even at small file sizes.
