Compress an image to 50 KB

Shrink a photo to 50 KB or less for forms with strict limits. Runs in your browser, so your photo never leaves your device.

How to compress an image to 50 KB

  1. Drop up to 5 JPG, PNG or WebP images onto the box, or click it to choose them.
  2. The target is set to 50 KB. Change the number if your limit is different.
  3. Wait a moment while each image is compressed to fit.
  4. Check the new size and dimensions, then click Download.

When you need 50 KB

Some forms set a tighter limit, often 50 KB for a photo and less for a scanned signature. A phone photo is usually several megabytes, so it has to shrink a great deal.

Getting a clear result at a small size

Reaching 50 KB from a large photo nearly always means reducing the pixel dimensions as well as the quality. Crop the picture to the part that matters first, so the remaining detail goes to the subject. Check whether the form also asks for specific dimensions.

If you only want a smaller file and have no exact limit, the image compressor gives you a quality slider instead.

Questions

Will the photo look blurry?

Very small files lose fine detail. Cropping to the subject before compressing gives a noticeably clearer result at the same size.

Can I set a different size, such as 20 KB?

Yes. Change the target to any value from 10 to 5000 KB.

What format is the result?

JPG, which most forms accept. Transparent areas in a PNG or WebP become white.

Is my image uploaded anywhere?

No. The compression happens in your browser, so your photo stays on your device.
