Key steps

  1. 1Check the official upload prompt for target KB, format, and pixel size.
  2. 2Resize or crop before quality compression when the original image is too large.
  3. 3Very small targets such as 20KB may reduce clarity; the target platform rule is final.

FAQ

Can every image be compressed to 20KB?

No. 20KB is very small, and clarity depends on the image and platform pixel rule.

Why does upload still fail?

Check format and pixel size as well as KB. Re-crop or export as JPG if needed.

Is the image uploaded?

The current compression tool runs locally in the browser.
