Compress Image to 30KB
A 30KB ceiling shows up on older application portals, ticketing systems, and website builders that were designed when bandwidth was expensive. Whatever put the limit in front of you, the fix is the same: drop the image here and download a copy that fits.

Frequently asked questions
Why does my photo need to be under 30 KB?
Online application portals set hard upload limits to keep their servers fast. If your file is even 1 KB over the 30 KB limit, the form rejects it. This tool compresses to just under the limit so the upload passes on the first try.
Will compressing to 30 KB make my photo blurry?
The tool finds the highest possible JPEG quality that still fits under 30 KB, and only reduces dimensions if quality alone is not enough. For typical photos the result stays clearly recognizable, which is what verification officers check for.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. Compression runs entirely inside your browser using the HTML5 canvas. Your photo never leaves your device, which also makes the tool work on slow connections.
