Compress Image to 50 KB
50 KB is a common limit for passport-style photos on online forms. Choose your photo and get the sharpest JPG that fits, usually without a visible change at the size forms display it.
How to compress a photo to 50 KB
- 1Click “Choose image” and pick your photo.
- 250 KB is already selected.
- 3Click “Compress to 50 KB” and download the JPG.
What 50 KB looks like
A head-and-shoulders photo around 600 pixels wide fits in 50 KB with good quality. A full 12 megapixel phone photo won't, so the tool reduces its pixel size to keep it clear.
If a form rejects it
Forms sometimes set a minimum size as well, such as 20 KB to 50 KB. If yours does, type a value inside its range in the Custom box, like 45 KB, instead of going as low as possible.
