Frequently asked questions
How do I reduce a photo to 50 KB?
Choose your photo, select 50 KB as the target size and press Compress. The tool lowers the quality and, if needed, the dimensions until the file is under the target.
Will the photo lose quality?
Some quality is lost, because the file becomes smaller. The tool keeps the quality as high as it can for your target, so very small targets look softer.
What format is the result?
A JPG file. Transparent areas of a PNG are filled with white.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The tool runs in your browser, so the photo is processed on your own device and is not uploaded to our servers.
