Resize Image to 50 KB: Free Online Compressor

50 KB is the most common upper limit for photos on Indian exam and government forms: SSC, IBPS and SBI ask for a photo of 20 to 50 KB, and the PAN card form accepts a photo and a signature under 50 KB. This page starts the compressor at 50 KB.

Your photo stays on your device. Face detection and background removal also run on your device.

At 50 KB a passport-style photo keeps good quality, so the tool usually only lowers JPEG quality slightly and keeps the pixel size. If your form also gives a pixel size or a minimum KB, use its own page, linked below.

How to compress an image to 50 KB

Target file size is already set to 50 KB. Change it if your form gives a different limit.
Pick the photo or scanned document.
Check that the file size line shows ✅, then tap Download.

If the form also gives a pixel size, use its own page instead so the shape is right too, for example the SSC photo or IBPS signature tools, or browse all exam photo and signature sizes.

Common mistakes

Forgetting the minimum: an SSC or IBPS photo under 20 KB is rejected even though it is under 50 KB.
Uploading a PNG or HEIC file when the form asks for JPG.
Uploading a photo with the wrong shape. A 50 KB file can still fail a pixel-size check.
