Some forms — FPSC is the famous one — only accept a photo that is under 30KB, and they check the file itself, not your intentions. This page is the FormFit compressor with the target already set to 30KB: drop your photo in, download a file that lands on the number.
For forms that say "photo must be under 30KB" or "between 20KB and 50KB". We hit the size precisely — not just "smaller".
JPG or PNG · processed on your device, never uploaded
How it works: we re-encode your photo at carefully tested quality levels until the file lands on your target size.

Recruitment and exam portals store photographs for hundreds of thousands of applicants, so their rules are written for the database: one small, uniform file per person. A ceiling like “under 30KB” is the strictest common version of that rule. The upload box measures the actual bytes of your file — a 31KB photo fails exactly as hard as a 3MB one.
That is why ordinary “reduce image size” tools so often still get you rejected: they shrink a photo by some amount and stop wherever they land. An exact-size compressor works the other way round — it re-encodes your photo at carefully tested quality levels until the file sits at (or just under) the target you set. On this page the target is already 30KB.
One mindset shift helps: 30KB is a ceiling, not a number to beat by a mile. A photo squeezed to 9KB “just to be safe” throws away detail the rule would happily have let you keep. Aim just under the ceiling — that is what this tool does.
Thirty kilobytes is a tight budget, but how you spend it matters more than the number itself:
Some portals pair a ceiling with a floor — “between 20KB and 50KB” is the common pattern. A 30KB result sits inside that range, so this page's output passes those forms too. But if your form's ceiling is 50KB, you are allowed noticeably more quality — use the 50KB compressor, which has range mode ready so the file also stays above the 20KB floor. And if your form fixes the dimensions as well (200×230 px is common), resize to 200×230 first, then compress. Need a completely different target? The full compressor on the homepage accepts any size from 5KB to 5,000KB.
