Which exams and forms want a 50 KB image

50 KB is a favourite cap for Indian government-exam photos. It's tight enough to upload quickly but still leaves room for a clear face photo. Signatures almost always have a much smaller limit, so check each field separately before you start.

  • SSC (CGL/CHSL/MTS/GD): photo 20–50 KB, signature 10–20 KB, photo 3.5×4.5 cm (~200×230 px), JPG.
  • IBPS (PO/Clerk/RRB/SO): photo 20–50 KB (200×230 px), signature 10–20 KB (140×60 px), JPG.
  • TNEA: photo 20–50 KB, signature 20–50 KB, JPG/JPEG/PNG.
  • For any other portal, check your portal's exact requirement before you upload.

Getting a sharp face photo at 50 KB

50 KB is a reasonable size for a passport-style photo, so a good result is very doable. The app searches for the best quality that still fits 50 KB and, if it has to, nudges the pixel size down a little rather than wrecking the clarity.

  • Use JPG — it hits a KB target far better than PNG for photos.
  • Match the pixels the exam wants (often ~200×230) instead of a bigger size.
  • Start from a clean original, not a screenshot or a re-compressed copy.
  • If the face looks soft, crop closer to head and shoulders so detail isn't spent on background.

Photo and signature in one sitting

Most forms want a photo and a signature with different limits — say a 50 KB photo and a 20 KB signature. You can do both here without switching tools: resize the photo to 50 KB, then load the signature and set its own target. The preview shows each file's weight so you upload with confidence.

Everything runs on your PC. Since a signature and a face photo are personal, it matters that they're never sent to a website — here they simply aren't.

Frequently asked

How do I resize an image to 50 KB?
Drag your photo into Image Resizer PC, type 50 and choose KB, then save. It automatically finds the best quality that lands at or under 50 KB and shows you a preview first.
Is 50 KB enough for an SSC or IBPS photo?
Yes. Both accept a photo of 20–50 KB, so 50 KB is right at the top of the allowed range and gives you the clearest version. Their signatures are smaller — 10–20 KB — so resize those separately.
Can I resize to exactly 200×230 pixels and 50 KB together?
Yes. Set the pixel size to 200×230 and the target to 50 KB in the same pass. The app fits both, so the photo matches the exam's dimensions and weight at once.
Will the photo lose quality at 50 KB?
There's a little compression, but at 50 KB a face photo stays clear. The app always keeps the highest quality that fits the target, so you get the best possible result at that size.
Does it need internet or an account?
Neither. It's a fully offline, portable Windows app — no upload, no account, no watermark, no ads. Your files stay on your computer.
Windows blocked the app on first open — what do I do?
That's SmartScreen reacting to a new, unsigned app. Click 'More info' then 'Run anyway'. It's a single portable .exe, so nothing gets installed.
