KLOORAHow to Compress a JPEG to 10KB
Published 5 November 2026 by Kloora Tools
Quick answer: use the Compress Image to 10KB tool. At 10KB the tool also reduces the pixel size, so the best results come from a tightly cropped photo or signature.
Step by step
- Crop your photo or signature so there is no empty space. Use the Crop Image tool if you need to.
- Open Compress Image to 10KB.
- Choose the cropped file.
- Download the result. The note under the file shows its final size and pixels.
Tips
- Plain white backgrounds compress far better than busy ones.
- Signatures on white paper work well at 10KB.
- If the face or text is too small, aim for 20KB instead.
A common mistake
Starting with a large phone photo of a whole desk. Crop first, then compress.
