How to use it
- Type the size you need in KB (any value from 5 KB), or tap a quick size — 20, 50, 100, 200 or 500 KB.
- Tap “Select Photos” and pick one or many images. On a computer you can also drag & drop or paste with Ctrl+V.
- Each photo is compressed to the target size or just under it, keeping as much quality as possible.
- Tap “Download”. With several photos you get a single ZIP file.
Why do forms ask for such small photos?
Government, bank and university portals receive lakhs of applications, so they cap every upload at a few kilobytes. A phone camera photo is usually 2–5 MB — that is 50 to 100 times bigger than the 20–50 KB most forms allow. This tool brings it down to exactly the limit you need without making the photo blurry.
How we keep your photo sharp
Many compressors simply crush the JPEG quality until the size fits, which leaves faces blocky. ToolDabba first finds the right resolution for your target size, then fine-tunes the quality with a binary search. You get the clearest image that still fits under the limit.
- Exact target: the result is always at or just below the size you choose.
- Batch mode: compress many photos together and download them as one ZIP.
- iPhone photos: HEIC photos are converted to JPG automatically on supported browsers.
- Transparent PNGs get a clean white background instead of turning black.
Common upload sizes in bank exam forms
IBPS and SBI forms have used the following limits in recent years. Requirements can change, so treat this as a quick guide and always confirm with the official notification before you apply.
| Document | File size | Dimensions |
|---|---|---|
| Photograph | 20 – 50 KB | 200 × 230 px |
| Signature | 10 – 20 KB | 140 × 60 px |
| Left thumb impression | 20 – 50 KB | 240 × 240 px |
| Handwritten declaration | 50 – 100 KB | 800 × 400 px |
Tips for exam form photos
- If a form says “20 to 50 KB”, choose 50 KB — closer to the maximum means better quality.
- Crop the photo first so your face fills most of the frame; extra background wastes kilobytes.
- Use a plain light background and good lighting — it compresses cleaner and looks better.
- Need a signature? Use the 20 KB compressor.
