Free Image Scaler
Online application forms - exam registrations, visa and government portals, job sites - often cap photo uploads at 50KB, sometimes with a minimum as well, such as 20-50KB. A modern phone photo is 2-5MB, so it has to shrink roughly 50 to 100 times. Here is how to do that without guesswork.

File size depends mostly on how many pixels there are. A full 4000×3000 phone photo squeezed into 50KB has to give up a lot of quality. The same photo cropped to a head-and-shoulders portrait has far fewer pixels to store, so it stays sharp at 50KB.
Many forms specify both, for example "200×230 pixels, 20-50KB". Target Size mode lowers quality first and only reduces resolution if quality alone can't reach the limit, so check the dimensions shown after compressing. A cropped passport-style photo usually fits in 50KB without losing resolution.
Some forms reject files that are too small, such as "between 20KB and 50KB". Target Size mode lands close to the number you type rather than far below it, so typing 45-50 normally puts you comfortably inside that range.
Open the compressor, choose Target Size (KB), type 50 and download. The result is guaranteed to be under 50KB.
JPG. PNG is lossless, so a photo usually can't reach 50KB as PNG without heavy resizing - and most forms ask for JPG anyway.
No. Compression runs entirely in your browser, so the photo never leaves your device.
