How to compress image to 50 KB

  1. Choose your image

    Drop a photo, scan or screenshot. You can add several at once.

  2. Set 50 KB as the limit

    Pick a preset or type your own limit, and a minimum if the form has one.

  3. Set the dimensions if asked

    Enter the exact pixels, centimetres or inches and the DPI that the instructions give.

  4. Download

    Check the size shown next to each file, then download it, or all files as a zip.

What fits in 50 KB

Fifty kilobytes holds a clear, detailed photo. In our tests a detailed photo came to about 40 KB at 400 x 500 pixels at good quality, so a photo around 400 to 450 pixels wide fills 50 KB well. A full phone photo has to shrink a lot to fit, and the tool does that for you.

Forms that ask for 20 to 50 KB

Enter 20 in the minimum box and 50 in the maximum. The tool keeps the result inside the range, raising quality or dimensions if the file would be too small.

Questions

How can I compress a photo to 50 KB without losing quality?

Use a sensible pixel size. Around 400 x 500 pixels, a photo fits under 50 KB at good quality. Crop to the subject first so the file is not spent on background.

Can I get a JPG between 20 and 50 KB?

Yes. Set 20 as the minimum and 50 as the maximum, and the tool lands inside that range.

What DPI should a form photo have?

DPI only tells printers how large to print the image. It does not change the pixels or the file size, but some forms check it, so set it when the instructions mention one. If no DPI is mentioned, leave it unset.

Is my image uploaded?

No. The image is compressed by your browser on your device, and nothing is sent to uncrop.si or anyone else.
