Compress an image to 50 KB
A limit of 50 KB is common for photos on online applications. This page is set to 50 KB. Drop in your photo and download a copy that fits. Your picture stays in your browser.
Drop images here, or click to choose
JPG, PNG or WebP. Up to 20 images. Nothing is uploaded.
The tool keeps the quality as high as it can while staying under your limit, and only makes the picture smaller if it has to. Transparent areas become white. Photo data such as GPS is not kept.
How it works
- Choose the largest size you are allowed (the buttons set common limits).
- Drop in your images. They are compressed one by one.
- Check the new size on each result and download it.
A good size for face photos
At 50 KB a head-and-shoulders photo can keep good detail if the pixel size is modest, such as 400 to 600 pixels on the long side. Larger pictures are scaled down to fit.
Get the pixel size right first
If the form needs a particular width and height, resize and crop with the exam photo and signature resizer, which can also hold the file under 50 KB in one step.
Use a plain background
A plain, evenly lit background compresses far better than a busy one, so the face stays clearer at the same file size.
Keep your original
Heavy compression cannot be undone. Keep the original photo in case you need a different size later.
Questions
Will my photo be blurry?
At 50 KB a normal passport-style photo usually looks fine on screen. Large detailed photos lose more detail.
Can I do more than one photo?
Yes, up to 20 at a time.
What if it says it cannot fit?
Try cropping the photo first, or use a slightly larger limit if the form allows it.
Is it private?
Yes. Nothing is uploaded.
