Need to reduce your photo to 30 KB for an exam portal or government form? A 30 KB target is ideal for NDA, CDS, EPFO, and many state PSC portals that cap photos at 40–50 KB. Use PhotoFit to compress any photo to exactly 30 KB in seconds — free, no account, no upload required, fully in your browser.
| NDA/NA photo upload | 4–40 KB — 30 KB is the ideal safe target |
| CDS/CAPF photo | 20–50 KB — 30 KB sits safely in the middle |
| EPFO SSA | 20–50 KB — 30 KB recommended |
| Some RRB portals | Photo and signature under 40 KB |
| State government exams | Many state PSC portals cap photos at 40–50 KB |
| Scholarship forms | NSP and state scholarship portals: 10–50 KB |
The fastest way to reach 30 KB: first resize your photo to the exact pixel dimensions your portal requires (usually 200×230 px or similar), then use the compress tool to hit 30 KB. This two-step approach gives the best quality because you are not trying to compress a large image down to a tiny file size.
NDA/NA (4–40 KB), CDS/CAPF (20–50 KB), EPFO (20–50 KB), and many state PSC exams require photos under 40–50 KB. Targeting 30 KB gives you a safe buffer below all these limits. It is also useful for signature images on most government portals.
Yes, if the image dimensions are appropriate. A 200×230 px JPEG at 30 KB looks perfectly sharp on printed admit cards and digital screens. The key is to resize to the required dimensions first, then compress. A large 1000×1000 px image compressed to 30 KB will look blurry; a properly resized small image at 30 KB will be clear.
Zero quality loss at 30 KB is not possible — compression always involves some trade-off. However, the quality loss is invisible to the human eye if: (1) the image is resized to the correct small dimensions first, and (2) JPEG quality is kept above 50%. PhotoFit handles both steps automatically.
Yes. PhotoFit can compress any JPEG from its current size to your target. An 80 KB file compressing to 30 KB means reducing to about 37% of its current size — achievable with moderate quality reduction. The result will still be clearly legible for exam portals.
