Compress image to 50KB

Passport-style photos on application forms, job portal profile pictures and ID uploads are common ones. Always check the form, since some also want an exact pixel size.

Only when it has to. It tries the quality first, and only shrinks the pixels if a lower quality alone can't reach 50 KB.

We count 1 KB as 1000 bytes, the way most upload forms do. So the copy lands under the limit either way you count.

Yes. Phone photos store their rotation separately, and the tool applies it, so a portrait shot stays portrait.

JPEG can't be see-through, so those areas turn white and the page tells you. A WebP stays a WebP and keeps its see-through areas, except in browsers that can't make WebP (Safari), where it becomes a JPG with white in their place.

No, save it as a JPG first (Share, then Save as JPG, or switch Camera to Most Compatible) and drop that.

No. Nothing is uploaded. Your browser opens the image, shrinks it and saves the copy, all on your device. Passport photos and ID scans never leave it.
