Compress Image to 40 KB
This free tool reduces your pictures to 40 KB each, right inside the browser. Plenty of websites, government portals and application forms cap uploads at a fixed size, and a file that is even a little too large gets rejected. Instead of guessing with a quality slider, you add your photos and every one is brought to 40 KB at the best quality that still fits.
Why compress to 40 KB
A 40 KB limit gives a photo more room than the tight 20 KB and 30 KB caps. Some recruitment and admission forms set it for the main photo while keeping the signature smaller.
Quality and size at 40 KB
40 KB is small enough for strict forms yet large enough to keep a face clear and easy to recognise. Most portrait sized images reach 40 KB with only modest quality loss, and the original width and height are usually kept. For an even smaller file, try compress to 30 KB. For higher quality with more room, use compress to 50 KB.
Compress many images at once
Add a single picture or a whole batch and each one is compressed to 40 KB on its own. Every file keeps its name with the size added, so they stay easy to tell apart. Download any image with its own button, or use the download button to save them all together in a ZIP when you have more than one. It works the same on a phone and a computer.
Common questions about 40 KB
What is 40 KB good for? A clear application or ID photo that must stay under a moderate limit. The extra room over 20 to 30 KB shows in sharper detail.
Will 40 KB change my photo dimensions? Usually not. It tends to keep the original width and height and only sets the quality to fit 40 KB.
