How to make a photo 20 KB

  1. Add your photo. Click Choose photos above.
  2. That's it. 20 KB is already selected; the tool shows the final size and quality.
  3. Download. The file name ends in -small so you can tell it from the original.

When 20 KB is asked for

Many government and exam forms ask for photos between 10 KB and 20 KB or 20 KB and 50 KB. If the form has a minimum too, use the exam photo tool: it also meets the minimum and the exact pixel size.

Frequently asked questions

Is it free?

Yes. Snipply is free, adds no watermark and needs no account. It is paid for by the ads on this website.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. Everything happens inside your browser, so your photo never leaves your device. That also means no upload wait and no queue.

Will it be exactly 20 KB?

It will be just under 20 KB, at the best quality that fits. Forms ask for "up to" a size, so a little under is what you want.

My photo looks smaller in pixels. Why?

To stay sharp at 20 KB, a large photo is also made smaller in pixels. A smaller clean photo looks better than a full-size blocky one.
