Resize Image to 20 KB — FAQs
PAN Card applications on NSDL require a photo and signature each under 20 KB. NDA and CDS applications via UPSC, RRB NTPC signature uploads, MPSC signature, and several state PSC signature fields also require 20 KB or less.
Upload your image and click Resize & Compress. The tool automatically adjusts the image to meet the target file size while maintaining good visual quality. Everything happens directly in your browser, so your image remains private.
Yes. A typical smartphone photo is 3–8 MB. By resizing it to 200×230 px and compressing at 70% JPEG quality, you can bring it down to 10–18 KB — a 99%+ reduction. The tool handles this in under 3 seconds entirely in your browser.
PNG is a lossless format — it cannot be compressed below a certain size based on pixel content. A 200×230 px PNG will typically be 30–80 KB regardless of settings. Always use JPEG for small KB targets like 20 KB. Government portals also usually mandate JPEG explicitly.
Images with complex backgrounds or very high detail can result in larger file sizes. Try using a properly cropped image with a plain background. The tool automatically optimizes the output to help meet the selected size limit.
Yes. The output is a standard JPEG file with no watermarks, no embedded metadata added by this tool, and the filename is clean (e.g.
pan-photo.jpg). It is identical in format to a file produced by Photoshop or any professional tool.
