What 30KB gives you
30KB leaves a bit more room than 20KB. A head-and-shoulders JPG of around 400 to 550 pixels wide usually fits at decent quality, which is clear enough for a face to be recognised on screen.
It is still too small for a large group photo or a detailed landscape. Those will need to be reduced to small dimensions and may lose fine detail.
Where you might need 30KB
Some online application and registration forms set photo limits around 30KB, sometimes with a separate smaller limit for the signature. Follow the exact size, dimensions and format the form gives.
How the image is reduced
The tool saves as JPEG and looks for the highest quality between 0.95 and 0.5 that stays under 30KB. If even 0.5 is too big, it shrinks the dimensions by 10 percent at a time until the file fits. When it says done, the image is at or under 30KB.
If it cannot fit, it tells you and offers the smallest version it reached. You can then crop more tightly and try again.
Tips for 30KB photos
Take the photo in even light, facing a window, so your face has no harsh shadows. Shadows and grain add detail the compressor has to keep. Crop to the required ratio before reducing. If the form asks for a light background, use a plain wall, which also helps the file stay small.
