How this tool works

What it does

Compresses an image toward 50 KB by trying browser-supported encoder settings and, if needed, reducing dimensions, then reports the achieved size. It keeps the largest result at or under 50 KB when it can, otherwise the closest and marks it over target.

Format and transparency

Keeps JPG, PNG, or WebP where possible and converts HEIC, TIFF, SVG, and GIF to JPG. JPG fills transparent areas with your chosen background color.

Privacy

The image is processed on your device to reach 50 KB. Nothing is uploaded, and re-encoding strips EXIF and GPS metadata. Your files are never sent to imgtoolsbase or any other server.

Frequently asked questions

Will my image be exactly 50 KB?

No. The tool compresses toward 50 KB and reports the size it actually reaches. It keeps the largest result at or under 50 KB when it can, and tells you if the smallest it can reach is still over.

What if my image will not reach 50 KB?

If 50 KB is hard to reach at full size, reduce the width or scale. The panel always shows the closest achievable size and flags whether it is over 50 KB.

Are my files uploaded when compressing to 50 KB?

No. Compression to 50 KB runs in your browser, so the file never leaves your device.

Does compressing to 50 KB change my image format?

When producing a 50 KB file it keeps JPG, PNG, or WebP where it can; HEIC, TIFF, SVG, and GIF are saved as JPG, and animated GIFs become a single still frame. JPG has no transparency, so transparent areas use the background color you pick.

Is EXIF and GPS data removed when compressing to 50 KB?

If the tool re-encodes the image to reach 50 KB, it strips embedded metadata such as EXIF and GPS, which the panel notes. If the original is kept because it is already under 50 KB, its metadata is unchanged.
