Government, exam and visa portals often demand photos under 20 KB — a size most camera photos can't reach by quality alone. This page searches quality first, then automatically scales dimensions down in steps until the file fits, and tells you the final dimensions so you can check the portal's pixel requirements too.
FAQ
Below ~50 KB, even quality 5 is usually too big for a full-size photo. The only way down is fewer pixels; we shrink by the minimum amount that fits and report the output dimensions.
Not on this page — compress first, and if the portal rejects the dimensions, resize the result with an image editor. A dedicated resize Tool is on our roadmap.
20 KB is a hard physical budget. Try cropping the photo tighter before compressing — fewer pixels of background leaves more budget for the subject.
