Compress Image to 20KB

Why compress images to 20KB?

A 20KB limit is common for forum avatars, profile thumbnails, and some government portals that impose very tight size restrictions. Smartphone photos are typically hundreds of times larger, so you need a compressor that can aggressively optimise while keeping the subject recognisable.

Avatars, thumbnails, and micro-images

Chat platforms, gaming profiles, and forum signatures often cap uploads at 20KB or less. Our tool finds the ideal balance of quality and file size to fit these strict constraints. If the result is still too large, try reducing dimensions first.

For best results at 20KB, crop tightly to the subject and keep dimensions small (200×200 or less). The compressor will then spend its limited byte budget on preserving the most important details.
