Shrinks the image to at most 30 KB
Thirty kilobytes gives a little more room than the very tight 10–20KB targets, so a photo keeps noticeably more detail while staying small. It's a common cap on ID-photo uploads, small gallery thumbnails, and exam or government portals that want compact images without going as low as 20KB. The tool reaches it by progressively lowering JPEG quality — scaling the image only if quality alone won't get there — re-measuring until it settles close to 30KB, entirely on a canvas in your browser.
Frequently asked questions
- How much better does 30KB look than 20KB?
- Modestly better. The extra 10KB lets the encoder keep more fine detail, so edges and textures hold up a little more cleanly. On a small image the difference is subtle but real.
- What typically needs a 30KB image?
- Government and exam portals often ask for photos around this size, along with small product thumbnails and forms that want a compact but still-legible image.
