How do I compress an image to a specific size?
To compress an image to a specific size, add your photo, choose a target like 50KB or 100KB and tap Compress. Fileora lowers the JPG quality step by step until the file fits, and only shrinks the dimensions if it has to. It is free, works on phones and never uploads your photo.

How does compressing to an exact KB size work?
The tool tries different quality levels and keeps the highest quality that still fits under your target. If even the lowest sensible quality is too big, it reduces the width and height a little and tries again. This keeps faces and text as sharp as possible for the size you need.
What size do online forms usually ask for?
Many Indian exam and job portals ask for a photo between 20KB and 50KB and a signature between 10KB and 20KB, usually in JPG. Limits change between notifications, so always check the official instructions for your form and pick a target just below the maximum.
JPG, WebP or PNG: which format gives the smallest file?
WebP is usually the smallest for the same quality, but many government portals only accept JPG. JPG is the safe choice for forms. PNG is lossless, so it cannot be squeezed to a small exact size; the tool converts it to JPG when you pick a KB target.

Questions people ask
How do I compress a photo to exactly 100KB?
Pick the 100KB target. The tool finds the best quality that fits under 100KB and only shrinks the dimensions if it has to.
Will compressing reduce quality?
Slightly, but at 70–85% quality the difference is hard to see while the file gets much smaller.
Is there a limit?
No daily limit. Large batches depend on your device's memory.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Compression runs in your browser, so the photos stay on your device.
Why is my compressed photo blurry?
Very small targets like 10KB or 20KB leave little room for detail. Crop the photo to just your face or signature first, then compress. Less area means more detail for the same size.
Can I compress many photos at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like and download them all in one ZIP file.
