Compress Image to 30KB

Make a photo 30KB or smaller for forms and uploads.

Your files are processed on your device and are never uploaded.

A 30 KB limit gives you a little more room than the common 20 KB rule – enough for a clear, detailed passport-style photo, a sharp signature or a readable small document such as a fee receipt. This page is set to 30 KB: pick your image and the tool finds the highest quality that still fits.

How to Reduce an Image to 30KB

  1. Choose the image – a photo from your gallery, a scan or a screenshot.
  2. Target is 30 KB. Change it only if your form gives another number.
  3. Click Compress image and wait a moment while quality levels are compared.
  4. Download the photo and check the size shown before uploading.

Where You See 30KB

  • University and school admission portals that allow "up to 30 KB" for the candidate photo.
  • Upload fields with a range such as "15–30 KB" or "10–30 KB" for signatures.
  • Membership, ration-card and local-government services with small upload limits.

What 30KB Allows

At 30 KB a JPG can hold a face photo of roughly 350 × 450 px with good detail – sharp enough for an ID card – or a document snippet of about 600 × 400 px. Bigger dimensions are possible at lower quality, but a photo usually looks better small and sharp than large and blocky. If the form lists pixel dimensions, use those exactly.

Worked Example

A 3 MB phone selfie (3000 × 4000 px) is first cropped to head and shoulders, resized to 350 × 450 px and then compressed. The result: about 25–30 KB, with crisp eyes and hair, instead of a blurry 30 KB version of the full uncropped photo.

Need a Background or Size Change?

Many forms also want a white background. Change it with White Background Passport Photo, then come back to compress. For signatures, Resize Signature creates the exact pixel size first.

Private and Free

Compression happens in your browser, so personal photos are never uploaded. No sign-up, no watermark.

Around 350 × 450 pixels for a face photo with good detail.
My photo is blurry after compressing. What can I do?
Crop it to the face and resize it to the pixel size the form asks for, then compress again – fewer pixels means more detail per pixel.
