Compress image to 20 KB
Files never leave your deviceDrop a photo or a scanned signature and get a JPG under 20 KB. At this size the tool also reduces the pixel dimensions, because quality alone cannot get there cleanly.
How to use it

Questions
Are my files uploaded?
No. The page loads its code once, then reads and processes your files inside the browser tab. Nothing is sent to a server; you can confirm it in your browser's network panel while a file converts.
Why is my signature blurry?
Phone photos of signatures carry shadows and paper texture that cost bytes. Crop tightly to the signature before compressing, and photograph it in even light on white paper.
The portal wants the photo under 20 KB and the signature under 10 KB.
Compress them separately: the photo here at 20 KB, then set a custom target of 10 for the signature. Crop both first so the bytes go to the face and the ink, not the background.
Can I get under 10 KB?
Yes. Type 10 in the custom target field. Expect a small image, a few hundred pixels wide for a typical photo.
