How to use

  1. Choose your photo, or drag it into the box.
  2. The limit is already set to 10 KB. Change it if your form says otherwise.
  3. If your form gives a pixel size too, turn on "Set exact size" and enter it.
  4. Tap "Resize photo" and download your 10 KB JPG.

When is a 10 KB photo needed?

A 10 KB limit is common for signature uploads and very small thumbnail photos. Always check your form's own instructions, since the exact limit and pixel size can differ from one form to another and from year to year.

Tips for a clear 10 KB photo

  • Crop close to your face and shoulders first. Less background means more detail where it matters.
  • If the form gives a pixel size, enter it under "Set exact size". Small pixel sizes look much sharper at 10 KB.
  • Use a photo taken in good light. Dark, noisy photos lose more quality when compressed.

Need a different size?

Use the main resize photo in KB tool to enter any size, or tap a quick size above.

Frequently asked questions

Will my photo be exactly 10 KB?

It will be 10 KB or slightly less. The tool keeps the highest quality that still fits, and stays a little under the limit because some sites count a KB as 1000 bytes and others as 1024.

Will the photo look blurry at 10 KB?

At 10 KB, large phone photos are shrunk in pixel size as well as quality. For a passport-style photo that is normally fine. If your form gives a pixel size, enter it under "Set exact size" for the sharpest result.

Is my photo uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything happens inside your browser on your own device, so the photo stays private.

Which file types can I use?

JPG, PNG and WebP. The result is a JPG, which nearly all application forms accept.
