Why Use This Tool

Indian government exam portals — SSC, UPSC, IBPS, Railway RRB, NTA, state PSCs — require uploaded photos to be under 50KB in JPEG format. Phone cameras produce images that are 2–10MB, over 100 times the allowed limit. Manually finding the right compression settings in photo editors is trial and error.

This tool automates the process entirely. It uses a binary search algorithm to find the highest JPEG quality that keeps your image under 50KB, so you get the best possible result without guessing. If the image is too large even at low quality, it automatically scales down the dimensions and retries.

Everything runs in your browser — your photo never leaves your device. There are no uploads to any server, no signups, and no watermarks. Just upload, compress, and download.

Frequently Asked Questions

Indian government portals like SSC, UPSC, Railway RRB, and state PSC sites enforce strict file size limits to handle millions of concurrent uploads during application windows. The 50KB cap ensures their servers can process forms quickly without storage or bandwidth bottlenecks. Most portals specify JPEG format with dimensions between 3.5×4.5 cm and 200×230 pixels.

Yes — this tool uses a binary search algorithm to find the highest possible JPEG quality that still fits under 50KB. It starts at maximum quality and only reduces as much as necessary. For most passport-sized photos, the result is visually indistinguishable from the original at typical portal display sizes.

If your uploaded image is already under 50KB, the tool will tell you — no unnecessary recompression. You can still download the original file directly. This avoids quality loss from double-compressing an image that already meets the requirement.

SSC (Staff Selection Commission), UPSC, IBPS, Railway RRB, NTA (for NEET/JEE), state PSCs, Indian Army recruitment, and most government job portals require photos between 20KB and 50KB. Some portals also require signature images under 20KB — this tool works for that limit too if you adjust expectations.

You can upload JPG, PNG, or WebP images. The output is always JPEG since that's what government portals accept. PNG and WebP images are automatically converted to JPEG during compression, which also typically reduces file size significantly.
