FAQ
Passport photo questions
How do I compress a passport photo to 20KB?
Upload the photo, keep the 20KB preset selected, click Compress all, and download the compressed JPG.
Will 20KB reduce photo quality?
20KB is a tiny limit, so some quality loss is normal. Start with a clear, cropped passport photo for the best result.
Can I use HEIC iPhone photos?
Yes. HEIC files are converted in the browser before compression. The page shows a loading state while HEIC is prepared.
Is this 20KB passport compressor free?
Yes. It is free, browser-only, and does not require signup.
What if my photo cannot reach 20KB?
Very detailed or large photos can hit a quality floor. Crop to the passport area first, then compress again.
