How it works

  1. Choose or drag your image into the box above. The limit is already set to 50 KB.
  2. We try different quality levels and, if necessary, slightly smaller dimensions.
  3. Download your image: guaranteed 50 KB or smaller whenever it is possible.

When do you need an image of 50 KB?

A 50 KB limit is common for online application and exam forms, government portals and ID photo or signature uploads. At 50 KB a portrait photo of around 400–600 pixels wide still looks sharp on screen.

How we get to 50 KB

We first try to stay at the original dimensions and only lower the quality as far as needed. If an image cannot reach 50 KB with acceptable quality, it is scaled down step by step, because a smaller sharp photo looks better than a large blurry one.
