About this tool
Many websites only accept photos under 20 KB. FilePrivy searches for the highest quality that still fits, and only shrinks the image dimensions if it has to. 20 KB is a typical limit for applicant photos and signatures on exam, scholarship and government job forms. A passport-style headshot usually fits at about 300–400 px wide.
Frequently asked questions
Are my files uploaded?
No. FilePrivy processes everything inside your browser. Your files never leave your device, and the tool even works offline once the page has loaded.
Is it free?
Yes. Every tool is free with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit.
What if my image is already under 20 KB?
It is re-saved at high quality and still kept under the limit, so you can upload it with confidence.
What format is the result?
JPG, because it is accepted everywhere and gives the smallest size for photos.
