Step-by-Step Guide
Upload Your Image
Select any JPG, PNG, or WebP image. Works with photos, screenshots, and scanned documents.
Set Target Size in KB
Enter the maximum file size you need in KB — for example, 100KB or 200KB — as required by the form or platform.
Download the Reduced Image
Your image is compressed to meet the size limit. Download it and upload it wherever you need.
How It Works
Every government form, exam portal, and job site has a file size limit — and it's always in KB. Your camera photo is usually 3–5MB (3000–5000KB). The form wants 50KB. This tool reduces it to exactly that.
How it's different from just compressing: Regular compression reduces the file without a specific target. This tool takes your exact KB requirement and hits that number — so you can upload with zero uncertainty.
Who needs this most: Students filling competitive exam forms (JEE, NEET, UPSC, state PSC), job seekers uploading to portals, and anyone applying for government services online.
Who Uses This?
Competitive Exam Form Photos
JEE, NEET, UPSC, and state PSC portals require photos between 10–100KB. Enter the limit and compress accurately.
Government Service Portals
Aadhaar enrollment, passport applications, and ration card portals all have strict KB limits for uploaded photos.
Job Portal Profile Photos
Many job sites reject photos over 200KB. Reduce to the required size and upload without errors.
College Admission Portals
University and college admission forms often require photos under 50KB or 100KB for the online application.

Still Looks Good
The image is compressed as much as needed while staying clear enough to be readable and acceptable.
Works for All Image Types
JPG, PNG, WebP — all formats supported.
Saves Form Rejection Frustration
Stop getting "file too large" errors on portals. Set the target KB and upload with confidence.

Helpful Tips
- Always check the form instructions for the exact KB limit before compressing — use that exact number.
- If the form says "max 100KB", enter 90 instead of 100 — gives a small safety margin.
- Very small targets (under 20KB) may make the image look grainy — check if it's still clearly a face photo before submitting.
- Good lighting in the original photo = better quality at small file sizes.
Your Files Are Safe & Private
Files are transferred over secure TLS encryption and wiped automatically from server memory after processing. We never inspect, store, or share your documents.
Common Questions
Why do I need to reduce my image to KB instead of MB?
Government and exam portals measure limits in KB (kilobytes). 1MB = 1000KB. Your camera photo is usually 3000–5000KB, but the form might only allow 50–200KB.
Will the image still look like me after reducing to 50KB?
Yes, for standard exam photo sizes (50–100KB) the image will still be clear and recognizable. Going below 20KB might look grainy.
What if the form requires the photo to be "between 20KB and 50KB"?
Enter 45 as the target — it will compress to around that size, fitting within the 20–50KB range.
Can I compress both photos and document scans?
Yes. Both photos and scanned document images can be reduced to the required KB size.
