Passport photo under 50KB, face still sharp

Application forms for recruitment exams, admissions, scholarships and many government services ask for a recent passport-size photograph as a small JPG — very often between 20 KB and 50 KB. Getting there with a phone photo usually means several apps and a lot of trial and error.

This passport photo compressor does it in one step: the highest quality that fits your limit, the face kept as sharp as possible, and the final size and pixel dimensions shown so you can check them against the notification.

  • Made for forms

    JPG output under a strict byte limit — exactly what portals validate.

  • Face-first quality

    Resolution and quality are balanced so facial detail stays clear, not blocky.

  • Stays on your phone

    Your photo is never uploaded — important for identity documents.

# FAQ

Passport Photo Compressor: common questions

How do I compress a passport size photo to 50KB?

Drop the photo in the box above. It is automatically converted to a JPG under 50 KB with the best quality that fits.

Does this crop or change the background?

No — it only compresses (and resizes if needed). Crop and choose a plain background before compressing.

My form asks for specific pixel dimensions. What should I do?

Crop to the required aspect ratio first. The result card shows the final width × height; if the form needs exact pixels, resize to those dimensions and then compress.

Can I compress the photo and signature together?

Yes. Drop both, then download them together. For signatures with a 10–20 KB limit, use the signature compressor.
