3. Click Compress to 50 KB, check the before and after, then click Download.

Where 50 KB is asked for

Many recruitment and exam portals ask for a passport-style photo between 20 and 50 KB. SSC, IBPS and railway recruitment forms have used this range for years, and plenty of scholarship, admission and government service portals set the same 50 KB ceiling. Always confirm the current limit and photo rules in your notice.

Tips for a good 50 KB photo

• Use a plain, light background and even light on the face. Busy backgrounds use up the 50 KB without improving the photo.
• Crop to head and shoulders with Crop image, so the face fills most of the frame.
• Keep JPG as the output. It is what these forms expect and it gives the sharpest result at this size.
• If the form gives exact pixel dimensions, set them with Resize image first, then compress here.
