JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC. All processing stays in your browser.
If your portal specifies a maximum but not an exact size, always pick the largest target that still fits under the limit. A larger target means better quality.
| Target size | Typical use | Photo quality |
|---|---|---|
| 10KB | Signature scans, tiny avatars | Reduced |
| 30KB(this tool) | Strict portal photos, exam registration | Acceptable |
| 50KB | Government ID portals, visa uploads | Acceptable |
| 100KB | Job applications, university portals | Acceptable |
A 30KB limit is found on certain government scholarship portals, state-level exam registration systems and older banking forms, particularly in India. It sits between the ultra-strict 10KB and the more common 50KB thresholds. The limit usually applies to an applicant photograph or scanned signature.
Yes, in most cases. A standard passport-style photograph compressed to 30KB retains enough clarity for official identification purposes. The face will be clearly recognisable and the image will be accepted by portal systems that use it for verification. Very high-resolution source images may see slight softening.
For government portals and official submission systems, always choose JPEG. JPEG is the universally accepted format and will not be rejected by any upload system. WebP produces slightly smaller files at the same quality, but some older portals do not accept it. Use WebP only if the portal explicitly allows it.
Yes. All processing happens in your browser. Your image file is never sent to any server, never stored and never accessible to anyone other than you. You can confirm this by opening your browser network inspector while compressing; no outbound request containing your image will appear.
