About this tool
Many bank and exam forms ask for a photo between 20 and 50 KB. Add your picture and get a JPG sitting just under 50 KB, keeping as much detail as the limit allows. iPhone HEIC photos are converted along the way, so there's nothing else to do first.
Common questions
Does this change the photo's dimensions?
Only if it has to. A large photo needs fewer pixels to reach 50 KB, and the note on the result shows the new size. If your form needs exact pixels, use Passport Photo Resizer.
My form says 20 to 50 KB. What should I do?
Nothing extra in most cases, as the file lands close to 50 KB. Set Minimum size to 20 if you're starting from a small or simple picture.
Is it free to use?
Yes. There's no sign-up, and nothing is added to your file unless you ask for it.
What happens to my files?
Your files are only used to run the tool you chose, and they're deleted automatically after about 24 hours.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It all works in your browser, on any computer or phone.
