Frequently asked questions

How can I compress an image to 50KB without losing quality?

Lower JPEG quality to about 40–55%, keep dimensions under 1200px on the longest side, and re-export. The tool above shows the resulting size live so you can stop right at 50KB.

What format gives the smallest file size at 50KB?

JPEG works best for photos, while PNG is better for images with text or transparency. WebP is typically 25–30% smaller than JPEG at the same quality.

Is it safe to compress an ID or passport photo here?

Yes. All compression happens in your browser. No image is uploaded to our servers and nothing is stored after you close the tab.

Why does my compressed image look blurry?

Quality below ~30% introduces visible artifacts. Try resizing dimensions first (e.g. to 800×800) before lowering quality — that usually keeps the file under 50KB while looking sharp.
