What to Expect at 30 KB
How Will It Look?
A face photo looks clear and natural at 30 KB. For small sizes the tool may also make the picture a little smaller in pixels, which keeps it sharp.
Always Under 30 KB
The tool never goes over 30 KB. It picks the best quality that fits, keeps your format (JPG stays JPG), and tells you clearly if a picture can't get that small.
Tips for the Best Result at 30 KB
- Need exact pixels like 200 × 230? Set them with Image Resizer first.
- Form asks for JPG? Upload a JPG — it stays JPG after compressing.
- Face the light. An evenly lit face looks clearer after compressing than a dark photo.
- Avoid busy backgrounds — trees, posters and patterns use up space.

30 KB gives about 20% more room than 25 KB, so photos come out a little wider (about 550–700 px instead of 500–600 px) and sharper. Always pick the biggest size your form or website allows — it gives the best quality.
Not quite. Compressing makes the file smaller (KB/MB). Resizing changes the width and height in pixels. This tool does both when needed to reach your target.
First set the exact pixels with Image Resizer, then compress the result here. Leave Max Width empty so the size stays the same.
Yes. PNG stays PNG and keeps its sharp edges. For photos saved as PNG, converting to JPG first gives a much smaller file.
Yes. JPG stays JPG, PNG stays PNG and WEBP stays WEBP, so the website you upload to accepts the same format you started with.
