How do I resize a photo to exactly 20KB?

Upload the photo, set 20 as the KB target (or pick the SSC preset), and click Compress. The tool finds the highest JPEG quality that stays under 20KB, shrinking dimensions only if needed.

What size photo does SSC require?

SSC requires a recent photo of 20KB or less, typically 200×230 pixels in JPEG format. The SSC preset sets both automatically.

Will my photo be uploaded to a server?

No — compression runs entirely in your browser. Your photo never leaves your device, which matters for ID photos.

Why does my photo look slightly grainy at 20KB?

20KB is very small, so JPEG compression is heavy. Photos with plain backgrounds and good lighting compress with far less visible grain.
