What is the best image format for 20KB compression?
JPEG format typically provides the best compression for photos at 20KB. Our tool automatically converts and optimizes your image to JPEG format to achieve maximum quality at this small file size. JPEG's lossy compression algorithm is ideal for photographs and allows us to reach 20KB while maintaining acceptable visual quality.
Will my photo quality be acceptable after compression to 20KB?
Yes, our tool uses intelligent compression algorithms specifically optimized for passport and ID photos. While 20KB is a very small file size, the tool prioritizes facial features and important details to ensure your photo meets government standards. For best results, start with a clear, well-lit original photo.
What dimensions should my photo be for 20KB compression?
Most government forms require passport-sized photos with dimensions around 200x230 pixels to 600x600 pixels. Our tool automatically adjusts dimensions if needed to achieve the 20KB target. Starting with a photo close to these dimensions will give you the best quality at 20KB.
