How do I reduce a photo to 8 KB?

Upload it above. We resize to 220×300 px and step the JPEG quality down until the file lands under 8 KB.

Will the photo still be usable at 8 KB?

For a well-lit, tightly cropped face, yes. If it looks blocky, retake the photo in daylight against a plain background.

No. ShantiTools compresses the image entirely inside your browser — the file never leaves your device.
