Frequently asked questions

Will a 20KB image still look good?

20KB is an aggressive target, expect visible quality loss (blur and compression artifacts), especially on larger or highly detailed photos. If you have any flexibility, a higher target like 50KB or 100KB will preserve noticeably more detail.

Why would a form require such a small file size?

Some older or high-volume portals (certain exam and government forms) cap photo uploads at 20KB to keep storage and load times minimal. This tool automatically resizes and re-compresses your photo until it fits.

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No, compression happens entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere.
