Land a photo on a 120 KB cap

Comfortable room for a clear photo

120 KB is generous enough that a well-sized photo looks clean, with natural skin tones and crisp edges. You rarely have to compromise much to land here.

If your source is enormous, resize it down first so the 120 KB budget is spent on the pixels you actually need rather than on an oversized image.

Landing on the cap without guesswork

The tool lowers JPG quality and checks the file size each step, stopping at or just under 120 KB. That removes the export-check-repeat loop entirely.

Everything is processed in your browser. The image is never uploaded, so it stays on your device throughout.

The photo cap and the signature cap are different numbers

Application forms almost always set two separate limits, a larger one for the photograph and a much smaller one for the signature. Applying the 120 KB figure to both is a common way to fail the signature check.

Compress each file against its own stated limit. The signature guide for bank and exam forms covers what these uploads usually ask for, and compress to target KB takes whatever number the form gives you.

If the form lists a range rather than a single ceiling, check the lower figure too. A file compressed well below a stated minimum gets rejected just as firmly as one over the maximum, and you can pad it back up without changing how it looks.
