A 20KB cap is brutally small — it is the limit on many exam applications, government portals and ID uploads, and a normal phone photo is two hundred times larger. Guessing at a quality slider to hit it wastes a lot of tries. This page works backwards from the target instead: it repeatedly re-encodes your image, lowering quality and dimensions until the file genuinely lands under 20KB.

- 2

- 4
Check the final size, then save the image for your form.
Why Use TextsPro
Compression runs entirely in your browser with the Canvas API, so identity documents and personal photos are never uploaded to a server — which matters a great deal for exactly the kind of forms that impose a 20KB limit. It is free, unlimited and leaves no watermark. Be realistic about the trade-off: 20KB is very aggressive, so expect visible softening. If your form allows 50KB or 100KB, use those pages instead for a noticeably better-looking result.
- Processed in your browser — files are never uploaded
- Instant results with no queues or waiting
- No signup, no watermarks, completely free
