Getting a photo under 50KB
50KB is a common limit for ID-style photos on online applications. It is enough for a clear head-and-shoulders photo once the pixel size is sensible.
If the form also gives exact pixel dimensions, switch to "Both" and enter them. Fitpic sets the exact size first, then fits the file under 50KB.
Tips for the best result
- Crop to head and shoulders before fitting. A tighter crop looks sharper at the same file size.
- Even, soft light on a plain background gives a cleaner result than a busy scene.
- Check the form for exact pixels or a minimum file size, and set those too.
Questions
How do I compress an image to 50KB?
Choose your photo above. Fitpic lowers the quality and, if needed, the pixel size until the file is 50KB or smaller. Then download it.
Will my photo still look good at 50KB?
At 50KB there is room for a clear face or document photo once the pixels are brought down to a sensible size.
What if my photo is already under 50KB?
Then it already fits, and Fitpic gives it back exactly as it is, without re-compressing it.
Can I get a file of exactly 50KB?
Fitpic aims just under 50KB so the file is accepted. If a form also has a minimum, tick "Also set a minimum size" and the result lands between the two.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. Fitpic runs in your browser and works on the photo right on your device. The file is never sent to a server, and there is no account to create.
Why does the result land a little under my limit?
Fitpic looks for the sharpest version that still fits. The result is usually just below the maximum. If a form also needs a minimum size, set one and Fitpic will land between the two.
What does "KB" mean here?
Forms count a kilobyte as either 1,000 or 1,024 bytes and rarely say which. To be safe either way, Fitpic treats your maximum as 1,000 bytes per KB and your minimum as 1,024.
