Compress image to 50 KB

Fifty kilobytes is the most common upper limit on Indian government and exam forms, usually paired with a 20 KB minimum for the photo. It is also enough for a crisp profile picture on any app and for logos in email footers. The tool keeps the pixels when they already fit and only shrinks them when it must.

At 50 KB you can expect about 550 to 700 px on the long side. The exact number depends on how much fine detail the image has: skies and plain walls compress well, foliage and fabric don't.

1. Drop or paste the image. Nothing is uploaded; the work happens in your browser, even offline.
2. The tool encodes the image as JPEG at several quality levels and keeps the one that lands just under 50 KB.
3. If even the lowest acceptable quality is too big, it reduces the pixels a little and tries again, so the result is the largest image that fits.
4. Download the file, or share it straight into WhatsApp or the form on a phone.

Every result shows the final size and pixel dimensions before you download. Need a fixed pixel size too? Set Resize to Exact size (crop) and type the width and height.

This limit is common for exam photos (20–50 KB), online applications, WhatsApp profile pictures and email signatures. If the portal also lists a minimum size (for example "20 KB to 50 KB"), open More options and fill in Min (KB): the tool pads the JPEG so it is never rejected for being too small, without touching the pixels.
