Frequently asked
Who asks for photos under 20 KB?
Mostly Indian government portals: exam registration and job application systems are known for 10–20 KB caps on the photo field. India's e-Visa portal likewise accepts photos starting from just 10 KB. The limits come from older systems, but they are enforced strictly.
How can a photo stay usable at only 20 KB?
The trick is the pixel size. At 20 KB a 1200 px photo turns to mush, but a 300–400 px portrait keeps clean JPEG blocks — and that is exactly the display size most portals use. The tool balances quality and dimensions automatically instead of blindly crushing quality.
Will 20 KB be enough for printing?
No — a 20 KB file is meant only for the upload field it was made for. For printing, keep the original photo and use the print layout tool at 300 DPI. Uploading the tiny version anywhere else will look noticeably soft.
