Frequently asked questions

How do I reduce photo size to 50 KB on mobile?

Open this page on your phone, choose 20-50 KB, tap Select photo, crop and tap Create photo. The JPG saves to your downloads.

What pixel size should a 50 KB photo be?

Use what your form says - for example 200 x 230 pixels for IBPS. If it gives no pixel size, leave Width and Height empty and the photo keeps its shape.

Why is my 50 KB photo blurry?

Usually because a very large photo was squeezed into 50 KB. Cropping to head and shoulders, or setting the pixel size the form asks for, leaves more KB for the detail that matters.

Is this tool free?

Yes. Every tool on WorkSathi is free to use with no sign up, no watermark on your result and no daily limit.

What happens to my files?

Files are uploaded over an encrypted connection, processed, and then deleted automatically within one hour. We never open, share or sell your documents.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. The tools work in any modern browser on Windows, Mac, Android and iOS - there is nothing to install.
