How to compress a photo to 50 KB

1

1

Drop the photo

JPEG, PNG or WEBP, one photo at a time. The assistant opens with it attached.

2

2

Send the request

Under 50 KB is already filled in. If the form also gives a pixel size, such as 600 × 600, add it.

Check and download

The new size is shown with the result. Your original photo stays as it was.

A photo under 50 KB that still looks like you

Fifty kilobytes is enough for a clear face at a few hundred pixels across, which is what most application forms display. The assistant compresses from high quality downwards and keeps the first result under 50 KB, so the photo stays as sharp as the limit allows. If the photo has too many pixels to fit, it is made smaller too, and if it still can't fit, you're told the smallest size it reached.

Some forms set a range, such as 20 to 50 KB. The assistant fits a photo under a limit; it won't pad a small file up to a minimum. Check the size it reports, and ask for more pixels if it came out too small.

For a passport or visa photo, use the passport photo maker instead: it frames your head to the country's official size and fits the office's file size limit in one go, in your browser.

What you can do

  • One photo under 50 KB, at the best quality that fits
  • Smaller pixel size when it's needed
  • The new size shown before you download
  • JPEG or WEBP
  • Camera details and location left out of the copy

Compress Image to 50 KB: FAQ

01

What if my form asks for exact pixels too?

Add them to the request, such as “600 × 600 pixels and under 50 KB”. The assistant resizes the photo first, then compresses it.

02

My photo is already under 50 KB. What happens?

It already fits. The assistant only hands back a copy that is smaller than the original.

03

Can I keep it as a PNG?

No. PNG keeps every pixel, so it has no quality to lower; the copy is a JPEG or a WEBP.

04

Is my photo uploaded?

No. It's compressed in your browser.
