Frequently Asked Questions
How do I compress a photo to 50 KB?
Upload the image and click Resize — the tool searches for the highest JPEG quality that keeps the file at or under 50 KB automatically, so you don't have to guess compression settings.
What needs a 50 KB photo?
Passport-style photo uploads on application portals and job sites very commonly require a JPEG between 20 KB and 50 KB.
Can I also set exact dimensions?
Yes — untick “keep original dimensions” and enter a width and height in pixels, or pick a preset like a 35×45 mm photo. The tool resizes and compresses in one step.
Does resizing to 50 KB strip EXIF data from my photo?
Yes. The image is re-encoded from its pixels, so camera metadata — including any GPS location — does not carry over. That is usually welcome when uploading a photo to a portal.
The portal rejects my file even though it is under 50 KB. Why?
Almost always the pixel dimensions or the aspect ratio, not the size. Portals commonly require something like 200×230 pixels; set those explicitly rather than relying on the size limit alone.
Can I do several photos in one go?
Process them one at a time. Each photo compresses differently depending on its detail, so the tool searches for the right quality per image rather than applying one setting to a batch.
