Make a photo a JPG of 50 KB or less for SSC, bank, passport and other online applications, with an optional exact pixel size. Runs in your browser; files are never uploaded.
Use the exact limit printed in your form's instructions. The result is a JPG of at most 50,000 bytes, so it passes forms that count a KB as 1,000 or 1,024 bytes.
Works in your browser. What you paste or upload is processed on your device.
Pick the passport-style photo from your phone or computer. HEIC, PNG and WebP are converted to JPG.
50 KB is preset. Type a different limit if your notice asks for one.
Turn on the exact pixel size and enter the width and height, for example 200 × 230 px.
Press Compress to 50 KB and check the final size and pixel dimensions shown.
Download the JPG and upload it to the application portal.
50 KB is a common upper limit for the photograph on Indian application portals: staff selection and banking exams, passport and PAN services, university admissions and many state recruitment boards. This tool turns your photo into a JPG of at most 50,000 bytes while keeping as much detail as that allows. It searches JPG quality from 95% downwards and keeps the best setting that fits.
If a full-size camera photo is still over 50 KB at the lowest quality used (50%), the tool scales it down gradually until it fits and tells you the final pixel size. When the form specifies dimensions too, for example 200 × 230 px, turn on the exact pixel size: the photo is centred and trimmed to that shape, then compressed, so faces are not stretched.
A KB is counted as 1,000 bytes, which keeps the file under the limit whether the portal uses 1,000 or 1,024. Photos that are already JPGs under 50 KB are left exactly as they are. Requirements change between notices, so always check the official instructions for the size range and dimensions.
Portals reject oversized photos at the last step, often on a phone with a slow connection. A tool that hits the limit in one pass, shows the exact result and keeps your ID photo on your own device saves a frustrating round of retries.

Choose the photo, keep the 50 KB preset and press Compress to 50 KB. If the form also gives a pixel size, enter it under the exact pixel size option first. Download the JPG and upload it.
Usually, yes: the tool keeps the highest quality under 50 KB, so a normal photo lands a little below the limit. Check the size on the result. If it is under 20 KB because the photo is very small, use a larger pixel size.
No. The photo is centred and trimmed to the new shape before it is scaled, so proportions are kept. Crop your photo first if you want to control exactly what is trimmed.
This tool controls file size and pixel size. If your form also asks for a specific DPI, set the print size with the Image Resizer, which writes the DPI into the JPG, then compress the result here.
Yes. Pick the photo in Safari; it arrives as HEIC and is converted to JPG before compression.
