This page compresses a photo toward a KB ceiling. SSC CHSL 2026 does not ask for that photo file: the form captures it live, and the 10–20 KB rule is for the signature.

Guides, tips & FAQ

Compress a JPG to a 10–20 KB photo

Use this to reduce image size to 20KB when a form says the photo is too large, or the notice asks for a 20 KB photo size, a JPG under 20 KB, or a range such as 10–20 KB. An image resize from 10 to 20 KB here means file size, not a pixel width you type. Phone photos are often 2–5 MB. The page opens at 20 KB. You can switch to 10 KB, or type another target. The download is a JPEG, and it stays on your device.

The file stops a little under the number you pick: 20 KB means at or below 19,600 bytes, and 10 KB means at or below 9,800 bytes. Many portals treat 1 KB as 1,000 bytes, so a file that your computer shows as 20 KB (20,480 bytes) can still be rejected. Check the size in your file manager after download. This tool does not crop a passport frame or lock a width and height. For a 50 KB or 100 KB cap, use those pages — the chips exist here too, and the dedicated pages explain those ranges.

Where 20KB photos are typically required

  • Competitive exam registration

    Candidate photograph fields on national and state recruitment websites.

  • Photo 10 to 20 KB

    Notices that publish a range. Pick 20 KB first, then 10 KB if the larger file is rejected.

  • Passport-size photo at 20 KB

    A file-size cap after the frame is already cropped. This page does not set centimetres.

  • Banking and railway job forms

    Online applications that reject a phone JPG as too large.

Tips for exam and passport photo uploads
  • Use daylight or even indoor lighting — shadows on the face cause portals to reject photos.
  • Wear plain clothes and keep the background light; busy patterns compress poorly at 20KB.
  • Start from the highest-quality photo your phone allows, then compress — not a screenshot of a screenshot.
  • After download, open the file properties (or check size in your gallery) to confirm it is under 20KB.
Frequently asked questions

1.How do I compress a JPG to 20 KB?

Open the photo here. The page starts at 20 KB. Choose Best quality to keep more detail, or Smaller size if the face is still too heavy. Download the JPEG and check the file size on your device before you upload it.

2.What is a 20 KB photo size, and how do I get a JPG under 20 KB?

It is a file-size cap, not a centimetre size. This page stops at or below 19,600 bytes for a 20 KB target (98% of 20 × 1,000 bytes). That margin helps when a portal counts 1 KB as 1,000 bytes instead of 1,024.

3.How do I make a photo 10 to 20 KB?

Use the 10 KB or 20 KB chip, or Custom for a number in between. A range such as 10–20 KB means the file must land inside that window: start at 20 KB, and drop to 10 KB only if the portal rejects the larger file or the notice says the photo must be at least 10 KB. This page guarantees the ceiling, not a minimum size.

4.Can I make a passport size photo 20KB here?

This page only reduces file size. It does not crop to 3.5×4.5 cm or set exact pixels. Crop the frame in the passport photo maker, then compress that JPEG here if the notice also wants about 20 KB.

5.What should I do when a portal says the file is too large?

Read the notice for the exact KB. Select that chip (10 or 20, or Custom). If Best quality is still over the cap, switch to Smaller size — the long edge starts shorter and shrinks about 10% at a time until the JPEG fits or it cannot go smaller. Then confirm the downloaded size. If it still fails, the form may also want pixel dimensions: resize those first, then compress.

6.Why do government exam sites ask for photos under 20KB?

A portal that still asks for an uploaded photo publishes its own KB cap. Use that number. SSC CHSL 2026 captures the photograph live and uses 10–20 KB for the signature, not for a photo file. Verified on 2026-10-28.

7.Will my photo still look clear at 20KB?

Some detail is lost, especially on a busy background. Use a well-lit original and a plain background, and try Best quality first. Crop extra scenery away before you compress so the face gets the bytes.

8.PNG or JPG for government uploads?

Most portals want JPG/JPEG. PNG and WebP can be uploaded here, and the download is always JPEG.

9.Are my exam photos uploaded to your server?

No. Compression runs in your browser. Your photo is not sent to us for processing. One image at a time.
Other photo sizes and form files

A 50 KB or 100 KB notice, a photo with no fixed cap, or a form that wants the photo and signature in one JPEG.
