10 KB photo size: resize image to 10 KB
The 10 KB photo size is the smallest limit most exam forms use. Add your photo or signature and get a JPG between 9 and 10 KB, made on your own phone.
We'll make your photo 10 KB.
JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC, up to 25 MB
Processed on your device. Never uploaded.
More optionsNow: 10 KB. Tap to pick another size.
Leave empty unless your form gives a minimum, like 20 KB for IBPS photos.
The picture may get smaller in pixels (at most 2000 px on the long side) so it stays sharp at low KB.
Your file will be 9–10 KB.
About this tool and size
Where you need to resize an image to 10 KB
On most forms ten kilobytes is the floor, not the ceiling. Banking forms from IBPS, SBI, RBI and NABARD want the signature between 10 and 20 KB, and SSC CGL, CHSL, MTS and CPO use the same 10–20 KB window. NTA forms such as NEET UG, JEE Main and CUET UG accept a photo from 10 KB upwards. A hard cap of 10 KB is rarer; it suits older portals and small ID fields that say "up to 10 KB".
What a 10 KB photo looks like
A face photo at 10 KB looks fine at the small size an admit card prints it, and soft when you zoom in. Signatures fare better, because white paper compresses to almost nothing and a signature a few hundred pixels wide keeps crisp strokes.
As a rough guide, a passport-style photo on a plain background stays clean at about 120×160 pixels in 10 KB. A busy background or a dim, noisy shot needs more kilobytes for the same size, and a signature on white paper needs far fewer.
What you will get
Whatever you add, the download is a baseline JPG (not progressive) between 9 and 10 KB. It stays under 10,000 bytes, so it passes whether the portal counts 1 KB as 1000 or 1024 bytes, and hidden camera and location data are removed.
Tip before you compress
Photograph your signature in daylight with a dark blue or black pen. Faint ink forces the encoder to keep grey noise, and noise eats kilobytes you would rather spend on the strokes.
How to use it
- Add your image. Take a photo or pick one from your gallery. JPG, PNG, WebP and iPhone HEIC files all work.
- Check the target. 10 KB is already selected. Type a minimum if your form sets one, and decide whether the pixel size may change.
- Let it work. The tool tries the highest JPEG quality that stays under 10 KB and makes the picture smaller only when it has to.
- Download. When every line of the pass check has a tick, save the JPG and upload it to your form.
Questions
My form says "10 to 20 KB". Should I use this page?
No. This page aims just under 10 KB, which can fall below a 10 KB minimum. Use the 20 KB page or the 10–20 KB range page; both land safely inside.
Why does my 10 KB photo look blurry when I zoom in?
At 10 KB there is room for only a small picture. On the portal it is shown small, so it looks normal there. If the form allows more, use 20 KB or 50 KB.
What pixel size should a 10 KB signature have?
If the form names pixels, use them, for example 140×60 on banking forms. If it does not, a strip around 300×120 keeps the strokes readable at 10 KB.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. Compression runs inside your browser on your own device. The page even works offline after your first visit.
