Get Any Photo Under 30 KB

Open your picture and it is compressed to fit under 30 KB automatically: the tool searches for the highest quality below the limit, and scales the dimensions down only when a large photo cannot fit otherwise. The size card shows original size, new size and the saving, and the preview is decoded from the actually compressed file, so what you check is what you upload.

The Passport Photo and ID Upload Cap

A 30 KB limit is the classic requirement for passport style photos and ID pictures on registration portals, admit card forms and membership systems. Take the photo with your phone, open it here, and the multi megabyte original comes out as a portal ready file under 30 KB with the face still clear. If your portal wants a different number, type any target in the box or jump to 20 KB, 50 KB or 100 KB with one tap.

Need a Different Size?

Every common cap has its own page that opens ready to go: compress image to 20 KB, 50 KB, 100 KB, 1 MB or 2 MB. For a free quality slider and any custom target, use the main Compress Image tool. The full compressor collection shows every cap side by side.

Keep It Sharp at Small Sizes

The best results under 30 KB come from JPG or WebP; PNG is lossless and usually far too big for photographic images at this cap. That is why this page always saves as JPG by default, even for PNG uploads, with WebP and PNG one tap away on the download button. Since the preview shows the true compressed pixels, you can verify the photo still meets requirements like a recognizable face or readable text before submitting.

Private by Design

ID photos are sensitive, and here they never leave your device. Compression runs entirely in your browser: no upload, no server, no account. Close the tab and nothing of your photo remains anywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions About 30 KB Photos

How do I compress a photo to 30 KB?

Open the photo and the tool automatically finds the highest quality that stays under 30 KB, reducing the dimensions only when a large photo cannot fit otherwise. Check the preview and press download; the size shown there is the real encoded size, not an estimate.

Is 30 KB enough for a passport style photo?

Yes. Portals ask for 30 KB precisely because a passport style photo at typical upload dimensions fits comfortably in it as a JPG. The preview lets you confirm the face is still clear before you download.

Can I hit a different cap like 25 KB or 40 KB?

Yes. The target box takes any number, so type 25 or 40 and the tool aims for that instead. The presets cover the most common caps from 20 KB up to 1 MB.

Is my ID photo uploaded anywhere?

No. The whole compression runs in your browser and the result saves straight back to your device. Nothing is transmitted to any server, which is exactly what you want for identity documents.
