How it works
- Upload a photo
Tap Upload photo and pick a JPG, PNG, HEIC or WebP photo.
- Check the size
Resize opens on File size with 20 KB already picked. You can still crop or pick another size.
- Save and download
Tap Save & get link. The new photo shows its exact size in KB and pixels — tap Download, or copy its link.
Made for form limits
Exam, job and government portals often take a photo or a signature only under 20 KB. BasePic keeps the file under the limit you pick, so the form accepts it.
Best quality that fits
BasePic tries a high JPEG quality first and lowers it until the photo fits. If even the lowest quality is too big, it makes the photo smaller in pixels and tries again.
Crop first for a clearer face
At 20 KB every pixel counts. Crop the photo to your face and shoulders first (Crop → 3:4), and the same 20 KB holds a much sharper picture.
Saved as JPG
The result is a JPG, the format forms ask for. Transparent parts turn white. The new file carries no location or camera details, and the original photo does not change.
Compress to 20 KB: questions
How do I compress a photo to 20 KB?
Upload the photo on this page. Resize opens with 20 KB picked — tap Save & get link, then Download.
How do I make a signature 20 KB?
Sign on white paper, take a photo of it and upload it. Crop it close to the signature, then save. Scan can turn it into clean black and white first.
Will the photo still be clear?
A 20 KB file holds little detail. A cropped, smaller photo looks sharper than a big one squeezed into 20 KB, and BasePic keeps the best quality that fits.
Can I pick another size, like 30 KB?
Yes. Type any size in KB under Custom on the File size tab.
Is it free?
Yes. No sign-up and no watermark.
