Compress a photo to 50 KB or less
Many online forms, exams and job sites reject photos over a size limit. Drop yours here and it is shrunk to fit — in your browser, so your photo never leaves your device.
Runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded

JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP or AVIF — up to 50 images, 30 MB each. They never leave your device.
How to shrink
The tool finds the best quality that fits, and makes the picture smaller only if it has to.

How to use it
- 1Drop your photo into the box (or click it to choose a file).
- 2Check that it says 50 KB and the format is JPEG. If your form asks for a different size, change the number or pick 20, 100 or 200 KB.
- 3Click Compress, look at the size shown, then download and upload it to your form.
Good to know
- The tool looks for the best picture that fits under the limit, so the result usually lands a little below 50 KB rather than exactly on it.
- A large photo has to lose a lot to reach 50 KB. It lowers the quality first and makes the picture smaller only if it has to, so a result can look softer — fine for most form photos.
- This page controls the file size, not exact pixel dimensions. If the form also needs a fixed size such as 200 × 230 pixels, check that on the result and adjust it in a photo editor.
- Your form may state a minimum size as well as a maximum. If it complains the file is too small, raise the number a little and compress again.

Frequently asked questions
How do I compress an image to 50 KB without losing quality?
Some quality is always given up to get a JPEG this small, because it works by discarding fine detail. The tool finds the highest quality that still fits under 50 KB and makes the picture smaller only when it has to, so you keep as much as the limit allows.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. The picture is shrunk by your own browser and never leaves your device, so it is safe to use for ID-style photos and documents.
What if my form wants a different size, like 20 KB or 100 KB?
Change the number in the box, or click one of the presets (20, 50, 100, 200 KB and more). The same steps apply.
Which file types work?
JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP and AVIF. The result is saved as a JPEG by default, which is the type most forms ask for. A transparent PNG gets a white background.
Does it remove the location stored in my photo?
Yes. Because the photo is saved again as a new JPEG, hidden details such as GPS location and camera information are not carried over.
Can I do several photos at once?
Yes — add up to 50 and download them together as a ZIP. Each one is shrunk to the same limit.
