How it works
- Upload a photo
Tap Upload photo and pick a JPG, PNG, HEIC or WebP photo.
- Check the size
Resize opens on File size with 50 KB already picked. You can still crop or pick another size.
- Save and download
Tap Save & get link. The new photo shows its exact size in KB and pixels — tap Download, or copy its link.
For upload limits
Application forms, school and job portals and some profile pages take photos only under 50 KB. Pick the limit and BasePic keeps the file under it.
Best quality that fits
BasePic tries a high JPEG quality first and lowers it until the photo fits. If even the lowest quality is too big, it makes the photo smaller in pixels and tries again.
Sharper with a crop
A photo of a face needs far fewer pixels than a whole scene. Crop to what matters first (Crop → 3:4 for a portrait), and 50 KB looks clearly better.
Saved as JPG
The result is a JPG, the format most forms ask for. Transparent parts turn white. The new file carries no location or camera details, and the original photo does not change.
Compress to 50 KB: questions
How do I compress a photo to 50 KB?
Upload the photo on this page. Resize opens with 50 KB picked — tap Save & get link, then Download.
My form says 20–50 KB. Which size do I pick?
Type a size near the top of the range under Custom, like 45 KB. BasePic keeps the file under it, and after you save the new photo shows its exact size, so you can check that it is above the lower limit before you download.
Does it work with iPhone photos?
Yes. HEIC photos are turned into JPG in your browser first, then compressed like any other photo.
Is it free?
Yes. No sign-up and no watermark.
