Resize / Compress any image to under 20 KB
A generic preset for any portal that needs a file under 20 KB.
Photograph
A 20 KB ceiling is one of the most common upload limits on Indian government and exam portals — SSC, IBPS, NSDL PAN, Indian Bank exams and dozens more all sit at or near this band. Hitting it from a mobile photograph (often 2–5 MB) requires both an aggressive JPEG quality cut and, sometimes, a dimension reduction.
How to use PhotoSahi for this form
- Pick your image.
- PhotoSahi sets target = 20 KB and runs binary-search compression.
- Adjust the Fit Bar if you want to land lower or just under.
- Download the JPEG and upload it where you need it.

Frequently asked questions
How do I resize a photo to 20 KB?
Open PhotoSahi on this page, pick your image, and the tool will re-encode it as a JPEG with the quality setting tuned to land under 20 KB. You can move the Fit Bar to nudge the size.
Will the image quality look bad at 20 KB?
At passport-photo dimensions (around 200 × 230 px) a 20 KB JPEG looks fine. For larger dimensions, quality may drop visibly — that's a physics limit, not a tool limit.
Can I do this without uploading my photo somewhere?
Yes. PhotoSahi does the entire resize and compress in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
Which Indian forms require photo under 20 KB?
Among others: SSC One-Time Registration (photo, signature within 20 KB band), IBPS PO/Clerk, NSDL/Protean PAN application, Indian Bank recruitment exams.
