Compress JPG to 50 KB

A 50 KB target suits most photo and document upload fields. A light resize plus compression gets there with quality to spare.

Open the Image Compressor →

How to do it

1

Upload the JPG to the Image Compressor.

2

Download and check the size.

3

If over 50 KB, resize to about 600 px wide and compress again.

Comfortable target

50 KB leaves enough room that a moderately sized photo (around 600 pixels on the long edge) reaches it without visible loss. Compress first; only resize if you are still over.

If it will not drop

  • Reduce the image dimensions and compress again.
  • Make sure you are exporting as JPG, not PNG, for a photograph.

Questions & Answers

Is 50 KB achievable without a resize?
For small and medium photos, often yes. Large photos may still need their dimensions reduced.
Does the image stay the same size on screen?
Compression alone keeps the dimensions. If you resize to hit the target, it will be smaller.
Watermark?
No watermark and no sign-up.
Are files kept?
They are deleted automatically about an hour later.
