About Compress to 80KB

Many forms ask for a photo at 80 KB, and this page delivers exactly that. Add your image, press Compress, and download the file. The size box is preset to 80. The work happens in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.

80 KB is a common photo-field spec on state job portals and admission sites. It is big enough for a clear face photo. It is small enough to keep their servers fast. Passport-style photos fit this size with room to spare. If your form says 80 KB, do not upload a 60 KB file either. Some portals enforce a minimum as well as a maximum.

The tool aims 2 KB under your target. An 80 KB request produces a 78 KB file. That margin clears portals that measure size a little differently. It also satisfies forms that demand strictly under 80 KB. If your form wants a minimum too, the file still clears common 50 KB floors easily.

Need a different photo spec? Compress image to 100KB covers the other common field. For any number at all, use the image compressor.

Forms that want an 80 KB photo usually want a much smaller signature. Signature caps commonly sit at 10 KB to 30 KB. Do not send an 80 KB file to a signature field. Compress the signature separately with the 20KB page. Upload each file to its matching field and the form goes through. Half of all photo-upload rejections come from swapped fields.

Your photo is compressed by your own browser. It never reaches a server, so it cannot be stored or seen. That matters for ID photos and personal documents. Close the tab and the file is gone from memory.

Frequently asked questions

How do I compress an image to 80 KB?
Drop your photo in, and the tool searches for the highest JPEG quality that still lands at or under 80 KB, then shows you the result before you download it. You can add several images and compress them in one go.
Will compressing to 80 KB make my photo look bad?
It depends on the starting photo. A simple portrait or a document scan usually reaches 80 KB with no visible difference; a large, detailed landscape may show some softening because there is far more information to throw away. The preview shows you exactly what you are getting before you download.
What if the file cannot reach the target size?
The tool reduces quality as far as it sensibly can and, if needed, scales the image down to reach the limit. If the target is extremely small for a very large photo, you will get the closest achievable result rather than a broken file.
Which image formats are supported?
JPG and JPEG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC/HEIF from iPhones. The output format is whatever the tool is set to produce.
Can I compress more than one image at a time?
Yes. Add as many as you like, compress them together, and download them individually or as a single ZIP.
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. The whole tool runs as JavaScript inside your browser, so your file is processed on your own device and never leaves it. You can even load the page, disconnect, and it still works.
