Compress image to 50KB
Many forms cap the photo at 50KB. Pick the picture, keep the 50KB target, and press Compress image. A large phone photo is resized a lot to fit, so check the preview before you download.

How it works
- Pick the photo you need to upload. A phone photo works, and so does a scan.
- The target is 50KB, set by this 50kb image compressor. Type a different number if the form asks for another size.
- Quality is tried from 92 down to 60, which keeps as much detail as the size allows.
- A large phone photo may still be too big at quality 60, so its pixel size is cut and the search runs again.
- The result is checked to be under 50KB and shown in a preview. Download the JPG when it looks right.

Questions
How do I compress a photo to 50KB for a form?
Pick the photo and keep the 50KB target. Press Compress image. The tool searches for the highest quality that fits, then checks the file before you download it.
Will a face photo still look clear at 50KB?
Usually, as long as the picture is not made very large. A face photo has fewer details than a landscape, so it holds up well. Check the preview to be sure.
Why is my phone photo so small after I compress it to 50KB?
Phone photos have a lot of pixels. To get under 50KB the tool may have to cut the width a lot, after the quality has already dropped to 60.
Can I type a size other than 50KB?
Yes. Type the number the form asks for, in KB. The tool uses it as the target and checks the result against that number.
