About Compress Image to 20KB – Target Size Image Reducer

The image is decoded and processed locally in your browser; it is not uploaded to Navorika.

1Upload your JPG, PNG, or WebP photo or signature image.
2The tool optimizes encoding quality and proportionally scales dimensions to stay under 20 KB.

20 KB is an ultra-compact file budget typically required for passport portals, civil service exams, and biometric signatures.

When an image is multiple megabytes, reaching 20 KB requires both lossy encoding and proportional dimensional scaling.

Photos compressed to 20 KB exhibit visible compression artifacts if displayed at high resolutions.
Original camera EXIF metadata is removed during canvas re-encoding.

Will my image be exactly 20 KB?

The compressor targets 20 KB or less. It finds the highest visual quality that stays strictly within the 20,480-byte ceiling.

Can large photos be reduced to 20 KB?

Yes. The engine uses binary quality search and proportional downscaling to safely reach 20 KB without distorting aspect ratios.

Is my photo uploaded to your servers?

No. All compression is executed entirely inside your browser canvas.
