How to compress an image to 50 KB

  1. 1. Choose the image

    Pick the passport photo or scan you need to upload. JPG, PNG and WebP work.

  2. 2. Wait for the 50 KB copy

    Compression starts by itself and aims for a file under 50 KB. No size to choose.

  3. 3. Check and upload

    The smaller image downloads on its own. Open it once to check it is still clear, then upload it.

FAQ

Which forms need an image under 50 KB?

Passport-size photos are usually capped at 20 to 50 KB on exam, scholarship and job portals such as SSC, UPSC, IBPS and railway recruitment forms.

How does it reach 50 KB?

It lowers the JPG quality first and then makes the picture smaller in pixels until the file fits. A PNG is saved as a JPG when that is the only way to fit.

Will the picture still be clear?

A face or signature stays readable at this size. Fine detail in a large photo is lost, which is where the size is saved.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. The image is compressed inside your browser, so photos, signatures and ID scans never leave your device.

The form also asks for a width and height. Can I set them?

Crop or resize the picture in the Photo editor first, then bring it here to reach the file size.

Is it free?

Yes. There are no ads, no watermark and no daily limit.
