1. Compressing for Exams (10KB to 50KB)
Government exams are the strictest. If your file is 51KB, it gets rejected. If your signature is 9KB, it gets rejected.
- For Signatures (10KB-20KB): Use our dedicated "10KB - 20KB" range button. It ensures your signature remains dark and readable while fitting into this tiny file size. This is perfect if you need to compress image to 10kb or slightly above.
- For Photos (20KB-50KB): This is the "Golden Standard" for Indian exams. Use the "20KB - 50KB" range to resize image to 50kb without losing facial details. This works for 90% of online forms including SSC and UPSC.
2. Compressing Documents (100KB to 500KB)
When uploading Aadhar cards, 10th/12th marksheets, or caste certificates, clarity is key. You cannot make these files 20KB, or the text will be unreadable.
- Under 100KB: Use this for ID cards where text is large. Our compress image to 100kb tool optimizes the background to save space while keeping text sharp.
- Under 200KB & 500KB: Use these options for full-page certificates. If you scan a document at 300 DPI, it can be 2MB. Our tool allows you to compress image to 200kb or 500kb, reducing the size by 80% while keeping it printable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I compress image to 10KB?
Yes. 10KB is very small, usually required for thumb impressions or signatures. Select the "Under 10KB" or "10KB-20KB" option. Note that photo quality will reduce significantly at this size, which is normal.
How to resize image to 200KB for admission forms?
Simply upload your scanned certificate and click the "Under 200KB" button. The tool will intelligently adjust the quality to ensure the file is light but the text remains readable.
Is it safe to upload my Aadhar or PAN card here?
Yes, 100% Safe. PhotoKB processes images locally in your browser. Your documents never leave your phone or computer. We do not store or view your files.
What format should I use: JPG or PNG?
