How to compress an image to 30 KB
- Drag your JPG, PNG or WebP into the box above — it's read straight into your browser, never uploaded.
- The target is already set to 30 KB; FileTinker re-encodes the image until it fits at or under that size.
- Preview the result and download. If 30 KB is too small for this image, you're told clearly instead of handed a broken file.
About compressing to 30 KB
Compressing to 30 KB reduces a photo's file size by re-encoding it more efficiently and, when needed, lowering quality slightly — handy for upload limits, email attachments and forms that cap files at 30 KB.
Everything runs in your browser, so your image never leaves your device. JPG and WebP reach small targets like this most easily; very small targets may trade away some visible quality.
A 30 KB ceiling appears on many government, university and job portals — slightly roomier than the 20 KB tier, enough for a clean photo around 600 pixels on the long edge. The tool keeps JPEG, PNG and WebP files in their original format and only re-encodes other formats as JPEG, lowering quality until the file fits under the cap.
Frequently asked questions
How do I compress an image to 30 KB?
Drag your JPG, PNG or WebP into the tool above, leave the target at 30 KB, and press Compress. FileTinker shrinks it to 30 KB or under in your browser, then you download the result.
Will compressing to 30 KB reduce the quality?
Smaller targets mean more compression, so some quality is traded for size. FileTinker keeps the highest quality that still fits under 30 KB; if 30 KB is very small for a detailed photo, the tool tells you the closest size it could reach.
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. Compression happens entirely in your browser — your image never leaves your device and nothing is stored on a server.
Which formats can I compress to 30 KB?
JPG, PNG and WebP. The compressed file keeps its original format.
Why won't my PNG fit under 30 KB?
PNG compresses losslessly, so a photographic PNG usually cannot reach 30 KB without shrinking its dimensions dramatically. If the portal accepts JPG, convert the photo to JPG first — lossy JPEG compression reaches small targets far more gracefully for photos.
