About this task

30 KB sits between the tiny signature limits and the 50 KB photo limits, and appears on some application forms, ID card portals and school systems for a small face photo or a scanned ID.

A phone photo is many times bigger, so the tool lowers quality first and, if needed, reduces the pixel size. A plain-background portrait usually fits at a modest size. Crop it close to the face and shoulders first, so no pixels are wasted.

If the form also asks for exact pixel dimensions, resize with Edit image first, then compress. Need a different limit? See 20 KB, 50 KB or 100 KB.

To reach 30 KB the picture can lose detail and size. The result list shows the final dimensions, so check them against the form. Keep your original.

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 30 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 face photo still look fine at 30 KB?

At a small size on screen, usually yes. It will look soft if enlarged or printed. Use good light and a plain background for the best result.

Why did the dimensions change?

Lowering quality alone often cannot reach 30 KB, so the tool also reduces the number of pixels. The result row shows the new width and height.

Is my photo uploaded?

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