Compress a photo to 50 KB or less, online and free. Many online application forms, job portals and registration sites only accept a photo or a signature up to 50 KB. Upload your image and TypeorDrop finds the best quality that fits under 50 KB; if the photo is large, it also reduces the width and height until it fits. You see the new file size and dimensions before you download, so you know the form will accept it.
Almost every photo can, because the tool also reduces the width and height when needed. It stops at 320 pixels on the long side so the photo stays usable. A very detailed image at that size, or a PNG, may still stay above 50 KB, and the result screen says so.
At 50 KB a photo looks fine on a form or a phone screen, but fine detail is softer than in the original. Check the result before you submit it.
Use Resize Image: enter the size, for example 300 × 300 px or 35 × 45 mm at 300 DPI, choose Crop to fill, and set the maximum file size to 50 KB.
Use JPG for photos and signatures on forms: it reaches 50 KB with much better quality than PNG. The tool keeps your format unless you change it, so pick JPG if you uploaded a PNG.
Then it is returned unchanged; there is no need to compress it further.
Images up to 15 MB and 50 megapixels in JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, HEIF, AVIF, GIF, BMP and TIFF format.
