How to compress an image to 20 KB

  1. Open QuickShrink (the target is already set to 20 KB).
  2. Drop in your JPG or PNG — or click to choose it.
  3. The tool automatically finds the highest quality that still fits under 20 KB.
  4. Download the result. Your original file stays untouched on your device.
💡 For a small target like 20 KB, choose JPG or WebP output — they reach small sizes far better than PNG. If the photo is very large, the tool also scales it down to help reach 20 KB.

Why this is more private than other tools

Most "compress to 20KB" websites upload your photo to their servers first. For ID photos, documents or personal pictures, that means handing your file to a company you don't control. QuickShrink runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored.

Is my image uploaded anywhere?

What if 20 KB is too small for my image?
