Compress JPG to 5 KB online — free and exact

Need a JPG image under 5 KB? This free tool automatically reduces your JPG until it fits within 5 KB, then lets you download it — tuning quality and dimensions in your browser to give you the sharpest image that still meets your 5 KB target. A 5 KB cap is the kind of strict limit you hit on government job portals, online exam application forms (SSC, UPSC, NEET, JEE) and passport or visa photo uploads. This tool shrinks your JPG photo to 5 KB so a rejected "image too large" upload finally goes through.
