Under 20 KB
Form says 20 KB max? Drop your photo and get a copy just under it. Free, no sign up, nothing is uploaded.
A JPG under 20 KB (a WebP if you dropped one). It keeps the name of your file and stays upright. If the photo needs it, the tool makes the picture smaller too, never below a fifth of its size.
Clipped Cloud
Got a long video? Clipped Cloud turns it into short clips, framed and captioned for you. 60 free credits to start.
Signature and thumbprint boxes on exam and visa application forms, small profile pictures on job portals, and some government upload pages. Check the form for its exact limit and picture size in pixels.
At this size the tool lowers the quality and, for a big photo, the pixel size too. A face or signature stays readable. Fine texture does not.
We count 1 KB as 1000 bytes, the way most upload forms do. So the copy lands under the limit either way you count.
You are told, instead of getting a smudge. Try 50 KB, or crop the photo tighter first so there is less to save.
JPEG can't be see-through, so those areas turn white and the page tells you. A WebP stays a WebP and keeps its see-through areas, except in browsers that can't make WebP (Safari), where it becomes a JPG with white in their place.
No, save it as a JPG first (Share, then Save as JPG, or switch Camera to Most Compatible) and drop that.
No. Nothing is uploaded. Your browser opens the image, shrinks it and saves the copy, all on your device. Passport photos and ID scans never leave it.
On iPhone? Get the Clipped app, free. It cuts clips for you.
