    How to use

    Where a 50 KB limit is used

    • Bank & recruitment exam photos: e.g. IBPS asks for a 200 × 230 px photo of 20–50 KB – set max width 200 and keep the 50 KB target.
    • Left-thumb impression scans that portals cap at 20–50 KB (IBPS: 240 × 240 px).
    • School and college admission forms where the photo box says “max 50 KB, JPG only”.

    Sizes above are examples from our guides; always confirm the limit in your official notice .

    How to compress to 50 KB

    1. Choose one or more photos.
    2. The size is already set to 50 KB – change it if your form differs.
    3. Optionally set a max width (pixels) if the form fixes dimensions.
    4. Press Compress, then download each file or a ZIP.

    Always check the exact limit in your official notice. If the notice gives a minimum (like 20 KB) and your file comes out smaller, raise the max width a little.

    FAQ

    Frequently asked questions

    Why does my 50 KB photo look the same as the original?

    Form photos are small in pixels, so 50 KB is enough for good quality. The tool keeps the highest quality that fits.

    The portal says JPG only – what format do I get?

    Choose JPG in the format box (it is the default). WebP is smaller but many government portals reject it.

    Can I compress 20 student photos at once?

    Yes. Select them all, press Compress and download a single ZIP.

    Does this work offline?

    Once the page has loaded, compression runs without internet.

    How do I make a photo 50 KB for an exam form?

    The target on this page is already 50 KB – choose your photo and press Compress. Cropping to the face and the form’s pixel size first (for example 200×230) gives the best result.
