About this tool
A 30 KB limit is common for small photos and signatures on application forms. Choose your photo and this tool finds the highest quality that still fits under 30 KB.
How to use it
- Choose your photo.
- Check that the target size says 30 KB.
- Press Resize & Compress.
- Download the file and use it on your form.
Small photos for application forms
A 30 KB limit is tight, so the dimensions matter as much as the quality. A photo of about 300 pixels wide usually fits comfortably, while a full-size phone photo never will.
Use the crop tool first to cut the photo down to your face and shoulders. Less background means fewer details to store, so the compressed result looks cleaner.
Common questions
Will the file be exactly 30 KB?
It will be 30 KB or a little smaller. The tool picks the best quality that stays under the limit.
The result is still too big. What now?
Lower the width and height first, for example to 400 pixels wide, for a sharper result.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The photo is processed inside your browser and never leaves your device.
Can I use PNG files?
Choose JPG as the output format. PNG files cannot be reduced to a target size.
