Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about 20KB image and signature compression.

How do I compress an image or signature to exactly under 20KB?

Upload your photo or signature scan above. Our tool is pre-set to target 20KB. The smart compression engine balances JPEG quantization and chroma subsampling to reduce your file below 20KB without making signatures unreadable.

Why do government exam forms require 10KB to 20KB images?

Most recruitment portals (UPSC, SSC, IBPS, State PSCs) enforce a strict 10KB–20KB file size limit to prevent server overload when handling millions of applicant uploads.

Is compressing signature and passport photos safe?

Yes, 100% private. All processing occurs entirely in your browser memory via client-side Canvas. Your signature or sensitive ID photos are never sent across the internet.
