Resize an image to 50 KB

Choose a photo, and Nova Forms saves a JPG under 50 KB. It lowers the JPEG quality first, and only makes the picture smaller when it has to, so it stays as sharp as it can. Your photo is never uploaded.

How to make a photo under 50 KB

  1. Choose your photo

    Pick a photo from your phone or computer, or take one with your phone camera.

  2. Check the limit

    The limit is already set to under 50 KB. If your form needs exact pixels, pick a size, or choose Other size and type it in.

  3. Make the photo

    Tap Make my photo. The size in KB is worked out for you in a moment.

  4. Save it

    Look at the picture and the size, then tap Save file. Upload that file on your form.

Why use this tool

Always under 50 KB

The file is made to fit under 50 KB. If that is not possible at your size, you are told, and shown the smallest it can be.

As sharp as it can be

It lowers the JPEG quality first, but not below a level that still looks good. Only when that is not enough does it make the picture smaller, and by as little as it can.

A smallest size too

If your form also wants at least some KB, type it under At least. A little invisible padding brings a small file up to it.

Exact pixels and centimetres

Pick 200 × 230, 3.5 × 4.5 cm, 2 × 2 inch, or type your own size in pixels, centimetres or inches.

Private

The photo is opened, resized and saved in your browser, on your device. It is not sent to a server.

No watermark, no account

Your picture is clean, and you do not need to sign in.

Tips for a photo under 50 KB

Questions

How do I resize an image to 50 KB?
Open the tool, choose your photo, and tap Make my photo. It is already set to under 50 KB. Then tap Save file.
Will my photo become blurry?
It lowers the JPEG quality first, which is hard to see in a small photo. When that is not enough, it makes the picture smaller, by as little as it can. If you ask for exact pixels, the pixels stay as they are and only the quality changes.
My form also wants exact pixels. Can I set both?
Yes. Pick a size such as 200 × 230, or choose Other size and type the width and height. The KB limit stays as you set it.
Why is my file a little under 50 KB and not exactly 50 KB?
It aims a little under the limit on purpose. Some websites count 1 KB as 1000 bytes and some as 1024, and a file a little under the limit is accepted by both.
My form wants a minimum size too. What do I do?
Type the smallest size under At least. If the picture comes out smaller, a little invisible padding is added, and the note on the result screen tells you.
Which photos can I open?
JPG, PNG and WebP photos open on every browser. iPhone HEIC photos open in Safari. In other browsers, take the photo with your phone camera, or save it as a JPG first.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The photo is opened, resized and saved in your browser, on your own device. Nothing is sent to a server.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. It is made for phones, with big buttons. Chrome, Edge and Safari all work.
