Compress Photo to 20KB, 50KB, 100KB for Govt & Exam Forms
Reduce image file size in KB instantly without losing quality. Perfect for SSC, UPSC, IBPS, and state board applications.
Most Indian government job portals, university admissions, and competitive exam websites (like SSC, UPSC, NTA, Railway, and Banking exams) require you to upload your photograph and signature within extremely strict file size limits. Typically, your photograph must be between 20KB and 50KB, while your signature must be between 10KB and 20KB. Uploading a larger file is impossible due to portal restrictions, while compressing too much can make the image blurry and cause your application to be rejected. Our browser-native image compressor solves this by giving you precise control over quality and size.
