Compress Image to 50KB — Photo Resizer 20KB to 50KB
Upload your photo, crop it to the size you need, and this tool compresses it as close to 50KB as possible — keeping the best quality achievable at that size.
Compress Image to 50KB's photo is captured live via webcam on the official portal — no upload is accepted there. This fallback lets you prepare a standard 3.5×4.5cm photo for other purposes.
Your source image is smaller than the required output size — the result may look slightly soft. A higher-resolution original is recommended.

When You Need to Compress an Image to 50KB
The 20KB–50KB window is the most common photo limit on Indian exam and job portals. SSC CHSL, SBI PO, UPPSC and many state recruitment boards use it, along with scholarship and admission forms. A 50KB limit gives enough room for a clear, natural-looking face — as long as the compression is done carefully.
How to Use the 50KB Image Compressor
- Upload your photo (JPG, PNG or HEIC) in the tool above.
- Enter the width and height from your notification, or keep the default size.
- Crop so your face and shoulders fill the frame with a little space above the head.
- Download — the final KB and pixel size are shown before you save.
Online Form Photo Size Converter in KB
This page works as a general online form photo size converter in KB: whatever the form asks, you set the pixels, and the compressor finds the highest quality that fits under 50KB. If your form needs a smaller file, switch to the compress image to 20KB tool. For a standard 3.5cm × 4.5cm passport size photo, use the dedicated preset.
Don't Go Below the Minimum KB
Many portals also set a minimum — usually 20KB — and reject files that are too small. That is why exam pages on Sarkari Photo, such as IBPS PO and SSC CHSL, lock both the minimum and maximum KB, so your file lands safely inside the range.
Compress Image to 50KB — FAQs
How does this tool compress my image to 50KB?
It binary-searches JPEG quality to find the highest quality that stays under 50KB, only reducing resolution if quality alone can’t reach the target.
Which exams require photos under 50KB?
Several SSC, banking and state PSC exams cap photos in the 20–50KB range. Check your specific exam’s page on this site for the exact figure.
Can I resize a photo to 3.5cm × 4.5cm and 50KB together?
Yes. Use the passport size photo page, which crops to 3.5cm × 4.5cm (413×531px) and compresses within the allowed KB range in one step.
How to reduce photo size to 20KB to 50KB in mobile without losing quality?
Open SarkariPhoto.in in Chrome or Safari on your phone, choose your exam or the Compress Image to 50KB tool, pick the photo from your gallery or camera and download. Instead of one blunt compression pass, the tool searches for the highest JPEG quality that still lands between 20KB and 50KB, and only lowers resolution if quality alone cannot get there — so your face stays sharp. No app install is needed.
How to convert HEIC or PNG photo to JPG under 50KB for online form upload?
Just upload the HEIC (iPhone) or PNG file directly — the tool converts it to JPG inside your browser and compresses it under your exam’s KB limit in the same step, so there is no separate converter needed. If your browser cannot decode a particular HEIC file, the tool tells you; export the photo as JPEG from your Photos app (or set Camera → Formats → Most Compatible) and try again.
What is the size of passport size photo in pixels and cm for government exams?
The standard Indian passport size photo is 3.5cm × 4.5cm. At 300 DPI that is 413×531 pixels; at 200 DPI it is about 276×354 pixels (JEE Main uses 275×354). Many exams set their own pixel size instead — SSC CHSL 200×240, IBPS 200×230, UPSC 350×350 square — so always use your exam’s preset. Typical file size limits are 20KB–50KB or 20KB–100KB in JPG.
How to convert 3.5 cm x 4.5 cm photo into pixels for online exam portals?
Pixels = centimetres ÷ 2.54 × DPI. At 300 DPI, 3.5cm × 4.5cm becomes 413×531 pixels; at 200 DPI it becomes about 276×354 pixels. If the portal specifies a pixel size, use that number exactly — our exam presets already apply the right pixels, and the 50KB compressor and Add Name and Date tool default to 413×531px.
How to resize photo and signature for SSC and government exams online?
Open your exam’s page on SarkariPhoto.in (or pick it from the home page), upload your photo or signature, adjust the crop frame, optionally turn on the name & date strip or the signature background cleaner, and click Process & Download. You get a JPG at the exact pixel size and inside the KB range your exam portal accepts — ready presets cover SSC, UPSC, IBPS, SBI, NEET, JEE, RRB, CTET and UP Police.
Is it safe to upload my photo and signature on SarkariPhoto.in?
Yes. Your photo and signature never actually leave your device — all cropping, compression, name & date stamping and signature cleaning run inside your browser, and nothing is sent to or stored on any server. The tool is 100% free with no watermark and no sign-up.
