Getting a photo under 20 KB
- Crop the photo first so only your face or signature is left. Less picture means better quality at 20 KB. Use the crop tool for this.
- Drop the image above. The target is already set to 20 KB.
- Download the result and check the size shown in the list before uploading.
Tips for signatures
Sign with a dark pen on plain white paper and take the photo in good light. A clean background compresses far better, so a signature can easily fit under 10 KB while staying sharp.
Common size rules
Exam and job portals often ask for a photo between 10 KB and 50 KB and a signature between 5 KB and 20 KB, usually in JPG format. Always check the exact numbers on the form you are filling in, then set the size above to match.
Questions
Why does my image look blurry at 20 KB?
20 KB is very small. Crop away the background first, or the tool has to shrink the whole picture to fit. A tightly cropped face stays much clearer.
The form says between 10 KB and 20 KB. What do I do?
Set the size to 19 KB. Cropmat aims as close to the limit as it can, so the result will usually land between 15 and 19 KB.
Is my ID photo uploaded anywhere?
No. The compression happens on your own phone or computer. The file never leaves your device.
