About this tool

When you need 50 KB

Many application portals, college admissions forms and ID-upload fields ask for a photo or document scan under 50 KB.

Getting under 50 KB without ruining the picture

A 50 KB JPG holds a clear head-and-shoulders photo at about 600 pixels wide. For pages of text, crop the margins first so more of the budget goes to the content.

Other size limits

Forms use many different caps. The related pages cover the neighbouring sizes, and the FileHost.net Image Compressor gives manual control of quality and width.
