Overview & Purpose

What is Compress Image to 20KB / 50KB / 100KB?

Many government job portals, competitive exams (such as UPSC, SSC, IBPS, Railways, NEET), college admission portals, and visa application websites enforce strict upper limits on uploaded photos and signatures — typically requiring files to be strictly under 20KB, 50KB, or 100KB.

Our Target-Size Image Compressor takes the guesswork out of compression. Simply select your required target limit (such as Under 20 KB or Under 50 KB), upload your photo or signature, and our smart optimization algorithm iteratively calculates the exact dimensions and quality settings needed to stay strictly under the limit while keeping visual details readable.
