Use this preset when the job is already narrow.
- A portal or form names a hard 20KB cap
- The upload is a portrait or ID-style image
- You need the strict route first, not a broad image editor
Starter preset
Job Portal Photo Under 20KB
Start with the hard cap instead of a generic compressor.
This preset narrows the job to the most common strict-upload case: a headshot or application photo that must come in under 20KB without turning into guesswork.
Best for job forms, profile-photo uploads, and strict application portals that name a 20KB limit.
Run the shortest useful sequence.
- Upload the photo and keep the crop focused on the subject.
- Reduce dimensions before crushing quality too far.
- Export once, then confirm the file weight in the result panel.
- Move to the rejection-fix guide if the portal still refuses the file.
Know what the preset is trying to produce.
- A smaller retry-ready image under a strict cap
- A clean handoff into other upload-fix routes if the first pass is not enough
Typical material this preset assumes.
- Phone portrait for a job application
- Form photo rejected for being too large
- Headshot that still looks acceptable after compression

FAQ
Short answers before the preset gets applied.
Does this preset guarantee the portal will accept the image?
No. It handles the file-size workflow, but the destination still controls the final acceptance rules.
Why use the preset page instead of jumping straight into the tool?
The preset page helps users understand when the 20KB route is the right starting point.
