Which portals require photos under 20KB?

Some older Indian government portals (Railways, certain state-level job forms) and signature uploads require files under 20KB.

Will the photo still be visible at 20KB?

For a small-dimension ID photo (e.g. 35×45mm at 200 DPI), 20KB is achievable. Quality will be reduced but the face will remain identifiable.

What if the portal rejects even the 20KB output?

Try reducing the photo dimensions first using the crop tool, then recompress. Smaller pixel dimensions reduce file size significantly.
