How to compress a JPEG to 50KB
- Drop your photo onto the box above. JPG, PNG, WebP and GIF all work.
- The target is already set to Under 50 KB and the format to JPG, so compression starts straight away.
- Check the preview and the size shown under the settings, then download.
The result is always under 50 KB. The tool searches for the highest JPEG quality that fits. If a large photo cannot reach 50 KB without turning blocky, it is also scaled down in pixels; a 3549 × 4730 phone photo, for example, came out at 529 × 705 pixels and 49 KB, which is still sharp on screen and in print at passport-photo size.
Where a 50KB limit is common
- Exam and recruitment applications that ask for a photo or signature under 50 KB.
- Government and university portals with strict upload limits.
- Email signatures and old systems that reject large attachments.
If a form also asks for exact pixel dimensions, crop or resize the photo to those dimensions first, then compress it here. If it asks for a different limit, such as 20 KB or 80 KB, change Target size or enter a custom size.
Private by design
ID photos and signatures are personal. This page compresses them on your own device, so the image is never sent to a server.
