Compress Image to 50KB — Free, Fast & Private
Many online forms — especially Indian government portals, competitive exam applications, and recruitment websites — require images under 50KB. This is a common frustration when your phone camera produces photos of 3-10MB. MiniPx makes it simple to compress any image to under 50KB while keeping it clear enough for identification purposes.
The most effective approach is combining compression with dimension reduction. Set the max width to 800px (sufficient for all form uploads) and use the Tiny preset with JPEG format. This typically produces files of 20-60KB from any source image, meeting the requirements of UPSC, SSC, RRB, IBPS, state PSC, and other competitive exam portals.
For passport photos specifically, most Indian government portals require JPEG images with dimensions between 200x230 pixels and 600x600 pixels, and file sizes between 10KB and 200KB. The 50KB target hits the sweet spot for virtually every portal. Crop your photo to a head-and-shoulders view before uploading to MiniPx for best results.
Signature uploads typically have even stricter limits — often 10KB to 50KB. Signatures compress extremely well because they are simple images with few colours. A scanned signature at 800px width in JPEG Tiny preset usually comes out at 10-30KB.
MiniPx processes everything in your browser. Your passport photos and signatures are never uploaded to any server — the most private way to prepare documents for government submissions.
