Using an Image Compressor to 20KB
When applying for PAN cards via UTI/NSDL, or sitting for SSC and UPSC exams, your scanned signature and thumb impression must be strictly compressed to under 20 KB. An image larger than 20.00 KB will generate a portal error. This tool makes it trivial.
How to Compress — Step by Step
Step 1 — Upload Scan
Upload your scanned signature or photo.
Step 2 — Heavy Compression Setup
Slide the quality bar way down — usually between 10% and 25% — until the file size reads under 20.00 KB.
Step 3 — Check Legibility
Look at the live preview. As long as the signature is readable, you are good to download!
Common Compression Mistakes to Avoid
- Starting with a huge photo: If your photo is 4000x3000 pixels, you cannot compress it to 20KB cleanly. Resize it to something like 200x200 px first.
- Expecting perfect crispness: 20 KB is very small. There will be artifacts. As long as text/faces are visible, it will be accepted.
