Resize an image to 50 KB

Of every file-size rule published by an exam board or a government portal, 50 KB is the modal one. SSC CGL asks for a photograph at 200×230 px and 20–50 KB. IBPS asks for a signature at 200×80 px and 10–50 KB. The Income Tax portal and PAN applications both say under 50 KB. It is the default this tool arrives on for that reason.

50 KB is tight but not unreasonable. At the 200×230 px a photo form usually wants, it is easy. The difficulty is never the limit itself — it is that a phone photograph arrives at 4032×3024 and around 3 MB, sixty times too big, and the pixels have to go before the bytes will.

The failure other resizers hand you: give one a 1400×1400 photo and a 50 KB target and it returns 399×399. It reached the file size by throwing away the dimensions the form required. The upload then fails on a rule you thought you had satisfied.

This tool holds the pixel size you typed and lowers quality until the file fits under 50 KB. When that is genuinely impossible at those dimensions it says so and shows the closest it reached, rather than returning something that looks right and is not.

These files are passport photos, signatures and ID scans, so none of it leaves your machine. Open your network tab and check: the page loads its own files, and on a finished job it sends one empty request to this domain so the tool can be counted. No analytics vendor, no tracker, no third-party request of any kind. The page's security policy blocks this site from opening a connection anywhere but itself — here is exactly how.

20–50 KB is the usual phrasing, and the lower bound is a real rule: a file that comes back at 6 KB can be refused for being too small, which is a confusing rejection to receive after you have just made the file smaller on purpose.

The result table prints the final size of every file, so a result under the floor is visible before you upload it. If it lands too low, raise the pixel size or the KB target and run it again — nothing is re-uploaded, so it costs a second.
