A very tight photo limit

20KB is one of the smallest photo caps forms use. It works best on a clean headshot at sensible dimensions — if your photo is very large in pixels, resize it first so 20KB does not force heavy quality loss.

Resize then compress

For the best 20KB result, use Resize Image to set the required pixel dimensions, then compress here to the KB limit.
