What a 20KB image looks like
20KB is very small. A JPG of that size is typically a small photo around 300 to 450 pixels wide at moderate quality. It is fine for a face on a form but not for a full-scene photo you want to print.
Signatures fit 20KB easily, because they are mostly plain white with a few dark lines. A signature scan of about 300 to 600 pixels wide is often only a few KB.
Where 20KB limits appear
Exam registration portals and some application forms often ask for photos and signatures in the 10 to 50KB range, and 20KB is a common cap for signatures in particular. Always follow the size, pixel dimensions and format stated on the form you are filling.
How the tool fits it into 20KB
The tool saves as JPEG and searches for the highest quality that fits, trying values between 0.95 and 0.5. If even the lowest quality is too big, it reduces the width and height in 10 percent steps until the file is at or under 20KB. When it says done, the image fits.
If it cannot get under 20KB, it tells you and gives you the smallest result it made. This is rare for photos and signatures, but can happen with very detailed images.
Tips for a clear 20KB photo
Crop to your face and shoulders first, so no pixels are wasted on the room behind you. Use a plain, light background; busy backgrounds take up space. Avoid PNG for photos, since PNG files are much larger. For a signature, sign in dark ink on white paper and crop tightly around it.
