About this tool
A 15 KB limit is small and is used for thumbnails and signatures on some application portals. A small picture with a plain background fits easily. Choose your photo and this tool finds the highest quality that still fits under 15 KB.
How to use it
- Choose your photo.
- Check that the target size says 15 KB.
- Press Resize & Compress.
- Download the file and use it on your form.
What fits in 15 KB
A face photo around 200 pixels wide can usually fit in 15 KB. Plain backgrounds help a lot, because flat colour compresses better than a busy scene.
For a signature, keep the paper white and the ink dark. Avoid shadows from your phone, because shadows add detail that the file has to store.
Common questions
Will the file be exactly 15 KB?
It will be 15 KB or a little smaller. The tool picks the best quality that stays under the limit.
The result is still too big or too blurry. What now?
Lower the width and height, for example to 200 pixels wide, and press the button again.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The photo is processed inside your browser and never leaves your device.
Which format should I choose?
Choose JPG. It gives the smallest files for photos, and PNG cannot be reduced to a target size.
