Compress image to under 50 KB
Reduce a photo to under 50 KB for forms and portals with strict limits.
Drop an image, or choose a file
JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC, or GIF. Any size.
Your file never leaves your device
Why files fail
Exam, job, and government forms often limit photos and signatures to 50 KB, and a phone photo is usually 2 to 5 MB.
What this preset does
This preset saves a JPG at the highest quality that fits under 50 KB, and only reduces the pixel size if quality alone isn't enough. It tells you if it did.
Questions
Will a photo still look good at 50 KB?
For a passport style photo or signature, yes. Forms that ask for this size show photos small.
My form also gives exact pixels. Which tool?
Use Resize image with the width and height from your form, or one of the exam presets, which set both the pixel size and the file size.
Why is the result a JPG?
Forms almost always ask for JPG or JPEG, and it's the format that gets smallest for photos.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. Everything happens on your device.
