Supports JPG, PNG & WEBP · Multiple files allowed

Tip: very small targets (15–30 KB) work best on already-small images (like ID photos). Large, high-resolution photos may not reach these targets without reducing quality further or resizing — the tool will ask you before doing either.

Introduction

Most SSC, RRB, and IBPS application forms cap photo uploads at 20KB, and that limit trips up almost everyone the first time — a phone camera photo usually comes in somewhere between 2MB and 8MB. This tool takes care of the gap. Upload your photo, leave the target at 20KB, and it works out the right compression level on its own. Nothing gets sent to a server; the whole process runs inside your browser tab.

Who Needs This:

If you've filled out a government exam form recently, you've probably seen a line like "Photo must be JPEG, 20KB max." This size shows up constantly across SSC CGL, SSC CHSL, RRB NTPC, IBPS PO/Clerk, and several PAN card and Aadhaar correction forms. The reason portals set it so low usually comes down to storage — these systems process lakhs of applications, so every KB adds up on their end.

Why Compress Images?

Here are some solid reasons why image compression is essential:

  • Faster Website Loading Images are often the heaviest elements on a web page. Compressed images reduce load times, improving user experience and SEO.
  • Saves Storage Space Whether you're running a website or storing on cloud services, compressed images take less space, helping you save costs.
  • Easier Online Submissions Many online portals, forms, or applications have strict size limits. Our tool helps you easily JPG compress to 500kb, 200kb, or even 100kb, as needed.
  • Optimized for Emails & WhatsApp Large image files fail to send on email or messaging apps. Compressed images make sharing smooth and quick.

Your Privacy is Our Priority

We respect your privacy. All your uploaded images are automatically deleted from our server within minutes. No data is ever stored, shared, or used for any other purpose.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Government portals process applications in bulk, sometimes millions during peak recruitment season. Keeping upload sizes small reduces server load and speeds up processing for everyone.

Most Indian government portals require JPEG or JPG specifically. If you upload a PNG, this tool will keep it as PNG by default - check your form's instructions and switch formats if needed.
