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.

Compress photos to 50KB (ID-friendly)
Passports, driver's licenses, visas and government forms almost always require photos around 50KB in JPG. This tool treats "under 50KB" and "recognizable face" as equal goals: it protects facial areas first and only lowers overall resolution when necessary. Uploaded ID photos are processed in your browser only — never sent to a server.
Common 50KB ID photo requirements
| Country / system | Typical limit | Size / format |
|---|---|---|
| India visa / passport | Photo 50KB | 2×2" / JPG |
| UK visa | Photo 50KB | 45×35mm / JPG |
| Schengen visa | Photo 30–50KB | 35×45mm / JPG |
| China visa / passport | Photo 20–50KB | 33×48mm / JPG |

Frequently asked questions
Will a 50KB visa photo be rejected?
Not if it meets the country's size, background and format rules. 50KB is a file-size ceiling, unrelated to photo specs; the built-in 5% margin (≈47KB) further reduces rejection risk.
What photo dimensions are required?
Common standards: US 2x2 in (600x600 px), Schengen 35x45mm, UK 45x35mm, China 33x48mm. Check your destination's rules first, then use our img-resizer to set pixels before compressing.
Can I use a selfie photo?
Most countries require a white/light background, front-facing view and open eyes. If your background is cluttered, fix it in an editor before compressing; this tool handles size and format only.
Does the tool check background or head position?
No — it only controls file size. Automated visa photo checkers also validate background color, head size and centering; use a dedicated passport photo tool for those, then compress the result here.
Can I export at a different size than 50KB?
Yes. The same engine offers 20KB, 50KB and 100KB presets plus a custom KB input, so you can prepare multiple versions of one photo for different forms.
