Target size (KB)
A built-in 5% safety margin is applied (e.g. a 50KB target compresses to ≈47KB), so uploads are never rejected for being just over the limit.
Quality 5–100：

Lower the quality further or resize the image, then try again.

Compress HEIC photos from iPhone to 50KB
Visa applications, passport photos and online form systems in many countries impose a hard limit of around 50KB on photos. This tool is built for exactly that: upload your photo, pick the 50KB target, and the algorithm compresses it to comply while keeping faces and details sharp — fully local, nothing uploaded.
Common scenarios with a 50KB limit
| Scenario | Typical limit | Required format |
|---|---|---|
| Visa & immigration applications | Photo 50KB | JPG |
| Passport & ID photos | 20–50KB | JPG |
| Job portal profile photos | 50–100KB | JPG/PNG |
| Social media avatars | Under 50KB | Any |
How to Compress an Image to a Specific Size
Upload your image
Drag & drop an image or click to select. You can upload several images at once.
Set the target size
Pick a preset (20 KB to 1 MB) or type an exact size in KB. The tool auto-adjusts quality and resolution to hit it.
Compress
Click Compress. Everything runs locally in your browser — your files never leave your device.
Download
Download the compressed images one by one, or grab everything as a ZIP.
Why choose this tool
Face-first compression
The algorithm lowers resolution before quality, maximizing facial sharpness within 50KB so ID photos stay recognizable.
100% private
ID photos are sensitive. Files are processed entirely in your browser and never sent to any server.
One-click compliance
A built-in 5% safety margin compresses a 50KB target to about 47KB, so uploads are never rejected for being just over the limit.
HEIC supported
HEIC photos taken on an iPhone compress directly, with no need to convert format first.
Frequently asked questions
Can a 50KB HEIC still look sharp?
Yes for ID and document photos. A 50KB target only looks soft on very large screens or when printed big; for forms, passport photos and social avatars it stays clearly recognizable. The tool lowers resolution before compressing, which preserves sharpness better than heavy quality loss alone.
Do I need to convert HEIC to JPEG first?
No. This tool reads HEIC/HEIF directly and outputs a compressed JPEG or WebP. Many government and employer systems cannot open HEIC, so you get a widely compatible file in one step.
Will depth or HDR data be kept?
No. Portrait-mode depth maps, HDR metadata and Live Photo clips are removed. The output is a standard 8-bit image — exactly what upload systems expect.
What size limit do most systems use?
50KB is a common ceiling: many Chinese job portals, Indian government forms and social avatars cap uploads at 50KB. This tool targets it precisely with a small safety margin to avoid rejection at the exact boundary.
Does it work for batch HEIC photos?
Yes. Upload up to 20 HEIC photos at once and download them individually or as a ZIP. Compression runs locally for each file.
