Frequently asked questions
Why do I need an image under 30 KB?
30 KB is a common middle setting on Indian government forms — larger than the signature limit, smaller than the photo limit, and often applied to scanned documents.
Can any image be compressed to 30 KB?
A scanned document or a small portrait usually gets there with acceptable quality. Detailed colour photographs will be reduced in size as well as quality.
What will the result actually look like at 30 KB?
A scanned document stays readable at full page width. A portrait keeps around 600 pixels on the long edge with mild softening, comfortably enough for the thumbnail these forms render.
How does it hit the target?
It repeatedly re-encodes the image, adjusting quality by binary search until it finds the highest setting that still fits. If quality alone cannot get there, it progressively reduces the pixel dimensions as well. The whole search runs on your device, typically in under a second.
Which format gives the smallest file?
JPG for photographs and colour scans. PNG only for pure black-and-white scans, where at this size it is both smaller and sharper than JPG.
