Compress Image to 20 to 50 KB
This free tool reduces your pictures to 20 to 50 KB each, right inside the browser. Plenty of websites, government portals and application forms cap uploads at a fixed size, and a file that is even a little too large gets rejected. Instead of guessing with a quality slider, you add your photos and every one is brought to 20 to 50 KB at the best quality that still fits.
Why compress to 20 to 50 KB
A 20 KB to 50 KB range covers the most common photo limits on government, exam and visa forms in one place. This page aims for the best quality that still fits under 50 KB, so your result lands inside the 20 to 50 KB window these forms expect.
Quality and size at 20 to 50 KB
20 to 50 KB is small enough for strict forms yet large enough to keep a face clear and easy to recognise. Most portrait sized images reach 20 to 50 KB with only modest quality loss, and the original width and height are usually kept. This page aims for the largest quality that still fits under 50 KB, so your result lands in the 20 KB to 50 KB range. For an even smaller file, try compress to 20 KB. For higher quality with more room, use compress to 100 KB.
Compress many images at once
Add a single picture or a whole batch and each one is compressed to 20 to 50 KB on its own. Every file keeps its name with the size added, so they stay easy to tell apart. Download any image with its own button, or use the download button to save them all together in a ZIP when you have more than one. It works the same on a phone and a computer.
Common questions about 20 to 50 KB
Why a 20 to 50 KB range? Many forms state a minimum and a maximum, such as at least 20 KB and at most 50 KB. Targeting just under 50 KB keeps the photo clear while staying in range.
Is this good for a passport photo? Yes. Passport and visa photos very often fall in the 20 to 50 KB range, so this is a safe choice.
What if the result is below 20 KB? A simple image can land under 20 KB on its own. If a form needs at least 20 KB, upload a slightly larger or more detailed photo.
Other target sizes
Need a different limit? You can also 5 KB, 10 KB, 15 KB, 20 KB, 25 KB, 30 KB, 40 KB, 50 KB, 100 KB, 150 KB, 200 KB, 300 KB, 500 KB, 1 MB and 2 MB. For any custom size, use the image size reducer.
