Compress Image to 50KB
Getting the sharpest result
The tool finds the highest JPEG quality that still fits under 50KB, so you automatically get the best clarity your size limit allows. If you're compressing a very large photo, crop out empty space first — that lets the tool spend its 50KB budget on the part that matters.
