Compressing HEIC to Under 20 KB
The 20 KB target converts HEIC to WebP at low quality with dimensions near 800 px. Double compression (HEIC source plus lossy output) means visible softening, so reserve this for tiny thumbnails and placeholders from iPhone photos. The tool prefers WebP to maximize quality at this budget. For any image users view at full size, choose a larger target — 20 KB is strictly for small previews. Whether you are optimizing for the NBN, preparing myGov submissions, or sharing files across Australia's vast distances, this tool keeps your files light and quick to transfer — even on regional, fixed-wireless, and satellite connections, with no upload required.
Made for Users in Australia
Australian internet ranges from fast NBN fibre in the capitals to satellite and fixed-wireless in regional and remote areas. Keeping files small is essential for reliable sharing across the NBN, for uploads to myGov and state services, and for delivering content to audiences on Telstra, Optus, and Vodafone mobile networks across vast distances.
- myGov and state government portals enforce upload limits — compress scanned IDs and documents before lodging them.
- For regional users on fixed-wireless or satellite NBN, smaller files mean fewer timeouts on slower, higher-latency links.
- Australian mobile plans often include data caps; pre-compressed media saves data for end users on the go.
- When sharing with New Zealand and Southeast Asia, smaller attachments transfer more reliably across trans-Tasman links.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is 20 KB from an iPhone HEIC usable?
Only as a tiny preview. iPhone HEICs are detailed; reaching 20 KB discards most of that detail. Use 100 KB or more for anything sizable.
Why is my HEIC output WebP, not HEIC?
WebP is more broadly supported and meets tiny budgets efficiently. Keeping HEIC risks not displaying in some browsers at all.
Can I compress files for myGov and state government portals?
Yes. myGov and state services often limit document sizes. Our tools help you get scans and forms under those limits before you upload them.
Will this work on slow regional or satellite NBN?
Yes. Because files are processed locally and never uploaded, the tool works well even on fixed-wireless and satellite connections where upload speeds are limited.
Does it respect my data cap?
Absolutely. Since nothing is uploaded, you only use data for the final, smaller download — ideal for Australians on metered mobile and NBN plans.
What file formats are supported?
We support PNG, JPG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, BMP, PDF, and many more. Check each tool page for its specific format support.
