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 preparing bilingual English and French documents, submitting files to CRA and Service Canada, or collaborating cross-border with US teams, this tool keeps your files lean and aligned with Canadian privacy expectations — nothing leaves your device.
Tailored for Users in Canada
Canadian users often juggle file sharing across provinces with varying broadband quality and between Canadian and US platforms. Whether you submit documents to federal and provincial portals, share files over Bell, Rogers, or Telus connections, or maintain bilingual English/French content, optimising file size keeps uploads reliable across the country's diverse network conditions.
- Canadian government portals (CRA, Service Canada, immigration forms) typically cap document uploads; compressing PDFs ahead of time avoids rejected submissions.
- When collaborating cross-border with the US, smaller files transfer faster over North American links and avoid email size rejections.
- For bilingual sites serving both English and French Canada, compressing media keeps pages fast for rural subscribers on slower plans.
- Canadian ISPs sometimes enforce data caps — smaller images and archives help users stay within monthly allowances.

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 use this for Canadian government portal uploads?
Yes. Federal and provincial portals (CRA, Service Canada, IRCC) often cap upload sizes. Our tools help you shrink PDFs and images to meet those limits before submitting.
Is this consistent with Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA)?
Since processing happens entirely in your browser and no files are uploaded, your data never leaves your device. This aligns well with PIPEDA's data-minimization principles.
Does it work for both English and French content?
Yes. Our tools handle text and documents in both English and French without issue — ideal for bilingual Canadian workplaces.
What is the maximum file size?
Most tools support files up to 50 MB each. For larger files, split them into smaller batches for reliable processing.
