Keep original if smaller

Everything runs locally in your browser. Each image is limited to 20 MB. Re-encoding removes EXIF metadata such as camera and GPS data. For very small targets like 10 KB, reducing the image width or height gives a much better result.

Compressed locally in your browser. Output files use their original base names with a .jpg extension. Download all creates one ZIP archive. Target-size mode finds the best available quality for the limit when possible.

Easy Guide

What is a 10KB to 20KB JPEG compressor?

This tool makes your JPEG photo smaller so it fits a strict file-size limit. Many websites ask for a photo under 20 KB or 50 KB. Some exam and job forms ask for a photo between 10 KB and 20 KB. If your photo is bigger than that, the form will reject it. This tool fixes that in a few seconds.

How to use it

Click the box above and pick your JPEG photo.
Choose 10 KB, 15 KB or 20 KB from the quick buttons.
If your photo is still too big, type a smaller width like 300 or 400 pixels.
Press Compress Images.
Download your new smaller photo.

Why photos become big

Phone cameras take very large photos. A single photo can be 3 MB or more. Most forms do not need that much detail. They only need a small, clear photo. When you shrink the photo and lower the quality a little, the file becomes tiny but still looks fine on a screen.

Tips for the best result

Use a photo where your face is clear and centered.
Do not use a very wide photo. A square or portrait shape works better.
If 10 KB looks blurry, try 20 KB first.
Keep your original photo safe. The compressed copy is only for upload.

Is it safe?

Yes. Your photo is processed inside your browser. It is never sent to a server. Nothing is stored, and no account is needed. You can use this tool as many times as you want, free of cost.

Frequently asked questions

How do I compress a JPEG to 10KB or 20KB?

Add your JPEG photo, tap the 10 KB, 15 KB or 20 KB button, and click Compress Images. If the target is hard to reach, set a smaller max width or height and try again.

Will the photo look bad at 20KB?

It depends on the photo size. A small photo can look fine at 20 KB. A very large photo may look soft. Resizing the photo first usually gives a better result.

Are my JPEG files uploaded to a server?

No. The compression runs inside your browser. Your photos never leave your device.

Can I compress more than one JPEG at a time?

Yes. Add up to 50 images and download them one by one or as a single ZIP file.

Is this JPEG compressor free?

Yes. It is free, needs no account, and adds no watermark to your photos.

What is the difference between JPG and JPEG?

Nothing. JPG and JPEG are two names for the same image format. Both work in this tool.
