How do I compress an image to 50 KB?

Drop the image, type 50 in the target box and press Compress. The tool tries JPEG qualities from high to low and, if the picture is still too large at the lowest sensible quality, scales it down a little and tries again until it fits under 50 KB.

Rarely. Photographs compress remarkably well — a phone picture of several megabytes is usually fine at 100 KB. Very small targets like 20 KB force a smaller picture, which is what those forms expect anyway.

Does it work for PNG?

Yes. PNG is lossless, so the only way to make one smaller is to reduce its pixels; choose PNG as the output if you must keep it as PNG, or leave the output on Auto to get a much smaller JPG or WebP.

What sizes do Indian exam forms want?

They vary, so check your form. Common requirements are a JPG photo of 20–50 KB at roughly 3.5×4.5 cm and a signature of 10–20 KB. The presets on this page match those, and the passport photo tool crops to the exact shape.

Is the image uploaded anywhere?

No. Compression runs in your browser using your device. Nothing is sent, stored or seen by anyone.
