Compress an image to 50KB
Many upload forms reject a photo that is even slightly over the limit. This tool compresses a JPG, JPEG or PNG image to about 50KB. It is commonly used for passport size photos on government job, exam and scholarship forms.
The compressor searches for the JPEG quality that lands closest to 50KB, so you keep as much detail as the limit allows.
How to use this tool
- Upload the photo or scanned image from your phone or computer.
- Check that the target file size is set to 50 KB. You can type another value if your form asks for a different size.
- Click Compress & Download and upload the saved file to your form.
Frequently asked questions
How do I reduce a photo to 50KB?
Upload the photo, keep the target at 50 KB and click Compress & Download. The saved file will be very close to 50KB. If your form is strict about the limit, set the target a few KB lower.
Will the photo look blurry after compressing to 50KB?
For normal photos the difference is hard to notice at 50KB. Very large images lose more detail, so resize them first if needed.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. The image is compressed inside your browser and the file stays on your device.
