Image under 20KB

The tool accepts an input image, a target format, and a strict max size of 20KB. It balances resolution, color depth, and compression to achieve the target size with minimal perceptual loss. It selects a suitable encoder based on the requested format and preserves transparency where applicable. Iterative quality control and optional resizing ensure the final image remains visually acceptable for web use. This tool is designed for developers, content teams, and SEO specialists who must ship media that loads quickly on pages and feeds. It supports common web formats (JPEG, PNG, WEBP, GIF, BMP) and reports the final size, dimensions, and format for validation. The approach is deterministic and fast, suitable for integration into build pipelines or API workflows. Use cases include product thumbnails, hero images, social previews, and UI icons where file size constraints are critical. Unique value lies in guaranteeing a <= 20KB output while providing a transparent path to alternative formats if quality is not acceptable. Core features include format selection, max size enforcement, optional resizing, transparency preservation, and a downloadable link to the optimized asset. Typical workflows involve testing multiple target formats to select the best balance between quality and size. Examples include reducing a 450KB product photo to ~18KB at 800x533 in WEBP, or compressing a 60KB icon to ~12KB in PNG with preserved transparency.
