JPG vs PNG vs WebP: Which Should You Use?Image File Size vs Pixel DimensionsPrepare Images for Online Application Forms

What this example shows

20 KB is a tight budget for thin lettering. Use the fictional stroke sample to check whether resizing keeps the lines continuous. Its original is 600 × 200 and already below 20 × 1024 bytes; resizing is useful here only when smaller pixel dimensions are also required.

A complete workflow

For this example, enter 300 × 100, choose JPG, select 20 KB and turn auto-resize off. After export, inspect the thin blue curve and small sample label. These are test settings, not a specification for any application form.

If the result is wrong

If strokes disappear, return to the original and preserve more pixels or use PNG if permitted. A file that meets the byte limit but loses important marks is not a useful result. Do not pad a file to reach exactly 20 KB.

How these examples were measured

These fictional test images were created for ListSite. Reference JPGs were produced by the same compressor code with a native Skia canvas test harness, not a browser benchmark. Sizes below describe these exact downloads. Your browser encoder and original image may produce different results. These examples do not establish OCR accuracy, AI quality or official form acceptance.
