Compress Image to 20KB
Automatically tunes quality until your JPG, PNG, or WebP fits under 20KB - free and entirely in your browser.
A 20KB budget is the classic ceiling for forum avatars, signature images, and profile thumbnails on older communities and game portals. Hitting it usually means aggressive quality reduction, which this tool automates by stepping the quality down until your image fits. Because everything runs in your browser, you can iterate until the avatar looks right without uploading anything.

Frequently asked questions
Can any image be squeezed to 20KB?
Small avatars and thumbnails, yes. A full-resolution photo at 20KB will look rough - resize it to the dimensions you actually need (often 100-300px for avatars) using the advanced controls, and the quality budget goes much further.
Should I use JPG or PNG at 20KB?
JPG or WebP. PNG is lossless and can't hit tiny targets for photos - the tool automatically steers PNG inputs toward JPG so the 20KB target is actually reachable.
