At very small dimensions (200×250px), yes. At larger dimensions, 10KB will show significant compression artifacts. Resize first, then compress.

Pro Tips

• Resize to 200×250 pixels before compressing for acceptable quality at 10KB
• White background compresses much better than complex backgrounds
• Crop tightly to face and shoulders — less area = better quality at small sizes
• If quality is unacceptable, try our Passport Photo Maker which auto-handles dimensions and size together
