Compress Image to 50KB

Reduce a photo to under 50KB — a common limit for passport-style photos on government, exam and job portals. Automatic quality tuning, optional minimum size, 100% in your browser.

How it works

  1. 1

    Add your photo

    Drop a JPG, PNG or WebP — one or many. It's read in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

  2. 2

    Set the target size

    Type the maximum in KB or MB, or tap a preset like 20KB, 50KB or 100KB. Add a minimum if the form has one.

  3. 3

    Let it fit automatically

    The tool finds the highest JPG quality that fits, and shrinks the dimensions only when quality alone isn't enough.

  4. 4

    Check and download

    Each result shows its exact size in KB and bytes, so you know it will pass the upload check.
