Resize Photo to 50KB for Online Applications (Passport & Visa)

By Image Size Compress Team

There is nothing more stressful than an online application form that keeps saying: 'Error: File size must be less than 50KB.' Most phone cameras take photos that are 3000KB (3MB). You need to shrink it by 98%.

How to Hit the Exact Size

You can't just crop it. You need to lower the data density. 1. Upload your photo to our compressor. 2. Use the slider to lower the quality until you see the 'Estimated Size' drop below 50KB (e.g., 48KB is safe). 3. Download and upload to your application form.

Common Requirements

  • **US Visa:** 600x600 pixels, under 240KB.
  • **Indian PAN/Aadhar:** Under 50KB.
  • **Job Portals (Indeed/LinkedIn):** Under 2MB for resumes/photos.
  • **Signature Files:** Often required to be under 20KB.

Don't risk rejection. Use our tool to ensure your file meets the strict government standards instantly.
