How do I get a photo under 20KB on my phone?

Tap Choose photo, pick your exam preset, and tap Download. The file is compressed in your browser and the verified size is shown before you download.

Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

No. Processing uses Canvas in your device's browser. Turn on airplane mode after the page loads and the tool still works — that is the proof.

What are the SSC and IBPS photo sizes?

IBPS/SBI photo: JPG 20–50KB, 200×230px; signature 10–20KB, 140×60px (official IBPS guidelines). SSC signature: JPG 10–20KB; SSC photo is live-captured since 2026. Always confirm with your notification.

Need 50KB? Land inside the 20–50KB band, not just under it.

Most forms ask for a range. This page targets the top of it, so your file is neither too heavy nor rejected for being too small.

Step 1 — Pick your form (sets the exact KB + dimensions)

Step 2 — Tap to choose your photo

Gallery • Camera • Files — JPG, PNG, WebP (HEIC best on Safari/iPhone). You can also drag & drop or paste (Ctrl+V) on desktop.

20KB or 50KB — which does your form want?

Read the wording on the upload box before you compress. “Maximum 50KB” and “between 20KB and 50KB” are different requirements, and the second one punishes an 8KB file.

What the portal says	What it means	What to enter here
“Should not exceed 20KB”	Upper limit only	Target 20KB
“Between 20KB and 50KB”	A band — too small also fails	Target 20, max 50
“Maximum 50KB”	Upper limit only	Target 50KB

Forms that ask for 20–50KB

Form	Photo	Signature
IBPS PO / Clerk / SO, SBI PO / Clerk	JPG 20–50KB, 200×230px	JPG 10–20KB, 140×60px
RRB NTPC / Group D	Commonly 20–50KB, ~413×531px	Commonly 10–20KB
SSC legacy and older forms	JPG 20–50KB, 200×230px	JPG 10–20KB
UPSC CSE	JPG up to ~200KB (min 200×230)	JPG up to ~100KB

Always confirm against the current notification — bands shift between cycles and between boards.

What actually changes between 20KB and 50KB

More bytes means the encoder keeps more detail at the same pixel size. At 200×230 the visible difference is mostly edge sharpness and contrast in shadows — which matters for photos with patterned backgrounds and for scanned signatures.

This page stops as soon as the file fits. It will not inflate a 12KB photo to 50KB just to reach a number; if your band has a minimum, use the max field so the target range covers it.

If the portal says “file exceeds 50KB”

Message	Real cause	Fix
File exceeds 50KB	Encoder stopped above the limit	Lower the target KB and re-download
File too small	You compressed under the band minimum	Set target 20 and max 50
Invalid dimensions	Right size, wrong pixels	Pick the exam preset, not “Original”
Invalid format	PNG or HEIC got uploaded	Switch output to JPG

FAQ

Can I convert a screenshot or scan to 50KB?

Yes, but scans of text have far more high-frequency detail than photos and compress worse. Reducing the pixel dimensions first, then compressing, gives a cleaner result than squeezing quality alone.

Why not just set the quality slider to low?

Quality alone can leave the file above the limit, because JPEG quality is not linear with bytes. This page binary-searches quality and falls back to downscaling only when quality alone cannot reach the target.

Does the signature need its own pass?

Yes — signatures have a 10–20KB band, not 20–50KB. Use the signature resizer for that upload.

Is anything uploaded while it compresses?

No. Processing is local canvas work in your browser; the page makes no upload request.
