Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about compressing images to 20KB? Find answers to common questions below.

Why would I need to compress an image to exactly 20KB?

Many online platforms have strict file size requirements, such as:

  • Government application portals requiring ID photos under 20KB
  • Job application systems with strict file size limits
  • School admission forms with exact size requirements
  • Visa applications requiring passport photos of exactly 20KB
  • Professional websites with strict upload limits

Our tool helps you meet these specific requirements without losing image quality during compression.

Is my data safe when using this image compression tool?

Absolutely! All image processing happens directly in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to our servers, ensuring complete privacy and security. This client-side processing approach means your sensitive photos and documents never leave your device during compression.

What image formats are supported for compression?

Our tool supports all common image formats including JPEG, PNG, GIF, and WebP. You can also choose your preferred output format from these options, with JPEG and WebP generally providing the smallest file sizes while maintaining good quality during compression.

Can I compress multiple images at once?

Yes! Our tool supports batch processing. You can upload multiple images at once, and our tool will process them all to your specified target size. You can then download them individually or all at once with our "Download All" button after compression.

Will compressing to 20KB affect the quality of my image?

Some quality reduction is inevitable when compressing images to a specific size, but our advanced algorithms minimize visible quality loss. The impact depends on your original image's size, dimensions, and complexity.

For best results during compression:

  • Use the WebP format when possible (highest quality at low sizes)
  • Choose the "Quality" compression mode for important images
  • Resize dimensions for very large images before compression
Can I choose a different target size besides 20KB for image compression?

Yes! While our tool is optimized for 20KB (a common requirement for many applications), you can adjust the target size using our slider from 5KB to 100KB to meet your specific needs for image compression.
