Some forms accept a photo only inside a narrow 10KB to 20KB window — too big is rejected, and oddly, too small can be too. This tool aims for the 20KB ceiling so your image lands comfortably inside the range with the best quality the budget allows.

Compress Image to 10KB–20KB is built to do one job well, and gives you everything you need to get it exactly right:
Hits the range. Targets the 20KB ceiling so the result lands inside the 10–20KB window.
Quality-aware. Binary-search tuning keeps as much detail as the tiny budget permits.
No upload. Your image is compressed in the browser, never on a server.
