Compress image to 35KB for exam form uploads
At 35KB there is enough room that compression stops being a compromise for most images. The tool re-encodes on a canvas, lowering quality gradually until the file fits; a photograph typically retains around 430x320 pixels with loss that is hard to see at normal viewing size. It runs entirely in your browser.
A browser-based compressor that re-encodes an image until it falls under 35KB, a budget that holds roughly 430x320 pixels of photographic detail.

At this budget the encoder can keep about 430x320 pixels at a quality level where artefacts are hard to spot unless you zoom in.
Around 430x320 pixels prints acceptably at roughly 1x1 inches at 300 DPI. Larger prints need a bigger budget.
WebP typically reaches the same target with more detail preserved than JPEG, where the receiving system accepts it.
Compression runs on your own device using the Canvas API. There is no upload step and no server involved.
Compress Image to 35KB sits where compression stops hurting. A photograph keeps roughly 430x320 pixels and the loss is hard to see without zooming in, which makes it a common cap for document uploads.
The image is decoded, drawn to an offscreen canvas and re-encoded. Quality is stepped down and measured against the 35KB ceiling on each pass; dimensions are only reduced if quality reduction alone cannot reach the target, which is uncommon at this size.
Document scans, ID photographs and attachment limits on email and ticketing systems that cap files around 35KB.
Reaching 35KB means discarding roughly 117x the data in a typical 4MB phone photograph, and nothing restores it. Repeated compression still accumulates damage, so work from the original rather than a file that has already been through this once.
The image is decoded and re-encoded by your own browser using the Canvas API. There is no upload endpoint, so the file cannot reach a server; closing the tab discards everything.
