Compress to 50 KB

Add an image to enable compression.

Compress an image to 50KB free and privately in your browser. 50KB caps are everywhere: job application portals, school and university admission forms, ID photo uploads and older content systems all reject anything bigger — and a single phone photo is usually 50 to 100 times over the limit.

Drop your image in and the tool automatically balances JPEG quality and dimensions to land just under 50KB with the best clarity the budget allows. It all happens on your device, with nothing uploaded — a real consideration when the image is a passport photo, an ID scan or a signed document.

Frequently asked questions

How does the tool get my image under 50KB?

It searches for the highest JPEG quality that fits within 50KB, and if the photo is very large it also scales the dimensions down. You always get the clearest image the 50KB budget allows, rather than a fixed one-size-fits-all quality.

Will a 50KB image still look good?

For portraits, ID photos and documents viewed on screen, yes — 50KB is usually enough for a clean, sharp result at typical form-upload dimensions. Large landscape photos will lose fine detail, so crop to the important area first if you can.

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. The whole process runs in your browser with the Canvas API — your photo never leaves your device. Free, no sign-up, no watermark.
