30 KB is a common limit for photos on application forms. Quikdo lowers quality first, then size, until the file fits.

How to compress an image
Three steps, about ten seconds.
- 01
Add your image
Drop a JPG, PNG or WebP in the box above, or tap to choose one from your phone or computer.
- 02
Pick a target
Keep the best-quality default, or choose a size like "Under 100 KB" if a form has a limit.
- 03
Download
Check the new size and save the file. The original is never changed.
Fitting a photo into 30 KB
A passport-style head-and-shoulders photo fits in 30 KB and still looks clear. A full-resolution phone photo has to be scaled down a lot to get there.
If the form also asks for exact pixel dimensions, use Resize image instead, which sets the size in pixels and in KB together.
Frequently asked questions
How do I compress a photo to 30 KB?
Pick the 30 KB target and drop the photo in. Quality is lowered first; if that isn't enough, the photo is scaled down until it's under 30 KB.
Is JPG or PNG better at 30 KB?
JPG, for photos. A PNG stays PNG and loses colours to fit, so switch the format to JPG to keep more detail at 30 KB.
How do I reduce a photo from MB to KB?
Drop the photo in and pick a target like 100 KB or 50 KB. Quality is lowered first; if that isn't enough, the photo is made smaller in pixels until it fits.
Can I compress an image without losing quality?
At the default setting the difference isn't visible on screen. Very small targets like 20 KB do lower the quality, so check the before and after view.
Which formats can I compress?
JPG, PNG and WebP are saved in the same format. AVIF, GIF and BMP files are read too and saved as JPG or PNG.
