About this tool
A 15KB limit shows up on a handful of scholarship applications and older exam registration systems, usually for a passport-style photo. It's tight enough that a straight-out-of-camera photo needs both quality reduction and some downscaling to fit — this tool handles both automatically.
You'll see somewhat softer detail than a 50KB or 100KB result, but faces and printed text on ID-style photos stay legible, which is what these forms actually check for.
Questions
Does my image get uploaded?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser — the file never leaves your device.
Can I target a size other than 15KB?
Yes, change the target field to any KB value your form requires.
Is this a "resize to 15KB" or "compress to 15KB" tool?
Both terms describe the same thing here — reducing file size (measured in KB), not pixel dimensions. This tool shrinks the file size; dimensions only shrink automatically if needed to hit the target.
Which formats are supported?
JPG, PNG and WebP — the output keeps your original format. Note that PNG is lossless, so very tight targets rely on downscaling rather than quality reduction.
What if my photo is already smaller than the target?
We'll enlarge it slightly (real upscaling, not padding) to use more of the 15KB you asked for, so you get the highest quality the target allows instead of a needlessly small file.
