Why compress an image to exactly 30KB?
In Pakistan's public-service applications, the photo rule is usually a small JPG — for FPSC applications, typically under 30 KB. That is far smaller than any phone produces (a single camera photo can be a hundred times bigger), and a generic resizer will rarely land you in range: it might give you 48 KB or 90 KB, and the portal rejects both. This page is preset to 30 KB, and the tool searches for the highest quality that comes in at or just under the limit.
Thirty kilobytes is a workable budget for a form photograph. At the small size these photos are shown on screen and printed on roll-number slips, a clean original compressed to 30 KB stays perfectly recognisable. What ruins quality is starting from a screenshot or an already-compressed messaging-app copy — always use the photo straight from your camera or scanner.
Who needs a 30KB image?
- FPSC online application photos (typically under 30 KB, JPG)
- PPSC and NTS form photos with similar small-JPG rules
- Any portal whose notice says the photo should not exceed 30 KB
- Sending a clear photo over a slow connection or by email

Frequently asked questions
Is 30KB the right size for an FPSC photo?
Typically, yes: FPSC advertisements call for a small JPG photograph, commonly under 30 KB. Rules can change between advertisements, so confirm the current notice — if it names a different limit, type that number into the target box instead.
JPG or PNG — which format for a 30KB form photo?
Always JPG for photographs. A PNG of the same photo is usually several times larger, because PNG is designed for graphics rather than photos. This tool converts and compresses to JPG automatically.
The portal says “less than 30KB” — will exactly 30KB pass?
The tool produces a file at or just under 30 KB, which passes a “less than 30 KB” rule. If you want extra safety against rounding differences, set the target to 28 KB — the quality difference is invisible and you gain a small margin.
