Photo or signature under 50 KB

Your files never leave your device: Compress image to 50 KB runs inside your browser, so nothing is uploaded, stored or seen by anyone. It is free and needs no sign-up.
50 KB is a frequent limit for photos and signatures on application portals, and a good size for sending a picture by email or chat when the connection is slow. A plain photo at this size is clearly recognisable.
If your original is a big phone photo, crop it to the face and shoulders first. The tool then spends the 50 KB on the part that matters instead of on empty background.

Questions and answers
- Is 50 KB enough for a passport-style photo?
- Yes, for a small one. Photos a few hundred pixels across fit comfortably; a full-resolution phone photo will be reduced a lot.
- Can I compress several pictures to 50 KB at once?
- Yes. Add all the pictures together and each one is reduced to the same target.
- Are my files uploaded anywhere?
- No. Your browser opens and processes the files itself, and nothing is sent to our servers. You can check this yourself on the How we do it page.
- Is my original photo changed?
- No. You get a new file to download and the original stays where it is. Check the result before you replace anything.
- Is Compress image to 50 KB really free?
- Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many files you use it for.
