About this task

10 KB is the smallest limit you are likely to meet, found on some signature, thumb-impression and stamp upload boxes on exam and application forms. It is about one hundredth of a normal phone photo.

The tool lowers quality first, then steps the pixel size down until the file fits. A dark signature on plain white paper survives this well. A face or a detailed photo ends up tiny and soft, so check it is still usable.

Crop the picture tight around the signature first with Edit image, because blank margins use up pixels. If the form also states exact width and height, resize to those first, then compress. For slightly larger limits see 20 KB and 50 KB.

To reach 10 KB the picture loses a lot of detail and size. Keep your original and check the result still looks right. If it cannot reach the target the result is marked as not reachable.

How to do it

  1. Add your photo or photos. JPG, PNG, WebP and other common formats open, and you can add several at once.
  2. The target is already set to 10 KB and the output is JPG. Change either if your site needs something else.
  3. Press Compress. Quality is lowered first, and the picture is made smaller only if quality alone is not enough.
  4. Check the size shown for each image, then download. Several images come as one ZIP.

Compress image is free and needs no account. Your file is processed in your browser and never uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

Will my signature be readable at 10 KB?

Usually, if it is dark ink on white paper and cropped close. Use a pen, not a pencil, and photograph it in even light.

The size is just over 10 KB. What now?

Crop away more of the blank space, or type a slightly lower target such as 9 KB. Some sites count a KB as 1,000 bytes.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. Everything runs in your browser and the original file stays on your device.
