    How to use it

    1. Choose or drop your image.
    2. The tool raises it to just over 20 KB.
    3. Download it and upload it to your form.

    How the file reaches 20 KB

    The image is saved at maximum JPG quality first. If it is still too small, the tool adds a hidden comment block that every image viewer ignores, so the picture is unchanged.

    The minimum is counted as 20,480 bytes, so the file passes whether the website counts a kilobyte as 1000 or 1024 bytes.

    Where this size is required

    These uploads on our exam, ID and visa pages use this limit. Each link opens the form's page with a preset for every upload.

    Questions

    Is a padded file safe to upload?

    Yes. The comment block is part of the JPG standard and contains only empty bytes.

    Is my photo uploaded to a server?

    No. The resizing runs inside your browser with JavaScript, so the image stays on your device. Nothing is uploaded unless you choose to share it with "Share by link" in the Download step. Once the page has loaded, resizing keeps working even if you go offline. If your device can't handle an image, the tool can shrink it on our server instead, but only if you agree, and it is deleted right away.

    Your images stay on your device unless you share them by link. Ads keep this tool free. If you allow it, our advertising partner Google can use cookies to show you personalised ads and measure them. If you reject, Google shows only non-personalised ads, without advertising cookies. You can change this at any time under "Cookie settings" at the bottom of the page. Privacy policy
