Where 50 KB limits come from

50 KB is the standard upper limit for photographs on many Indian exam and recruitment portals: SSC, IBPS and several state commissions, usually as a range like 20–50 KB. It’s also common for PAN card photos and university admission forms. A phone photo is around 3 MB, so it needs to shrink about 60 times.

Typical rules that use 50 KB

Portal typePhoto rule (typical)
SSC (CGL, CHSL, MTS…)20–50 KB, JPG
IBPS (PO, Clerk, RRB)20–50 KB, 200 × 230 px
PAN (Protean/NSDL)Up to 50 KB
University formsOften 10–50 KB

These change from notice to notice, so check yours. The exam pages on this site also link to the official site with the date we last checked.

How to do it here

  1. Exam photo ≤ 50 KB is selected in the Exams deck.
  2. Drop your photo. If your exam needs exact pixels, type them in the optional exact pixels boxes under KB size, or open the exam’s own page.
  3. Hit Repixel it ✨. The badge shows the exact bytes against 50,000. Download and upload.

Getting a photo that passes

  • Light background. Most exams want white or light grey behind you. White background can replace a busy one on your device.
  • Face fills the frame. Crop so your face takes up most of the photo, with a little space above the head.
  • Recent and clear. No sunglasses, no caps, eyes open, even light.
  • JPG only. Most portals reject PNG and HEIC even if the size is right. Auto picks JPG for you here.

What “under 50 KB” means here

We count 1 KB = 1,000 bytes, so “under 50 KB” means 50,000 bytes or less. That’s stricter than the 1,024-byte rule some portals use, so the file passes either way. We never give you a file over the limit: if it can’t fit, the studio tells you instead.

Sending it from your phone

If you move the file between devices on WhatsApp, send it as a Document. Sent as a photo, WhatsApp re-compresses it and the size changes.

Check the result

The badge shows the exact bytes, like 49,310 bytes against 50,000, and the pixel size. If the portal shows a preview, use it: a stretched or cut-off face means the portal expects different pixels, which you can type in the optional exact pixels boxes.

FAQ fr

How do I reduce a photo to 50 KB?

Drop it here with KB size set to 50 and hit Repixel it. We find the best quality under 50,000 bytes and confirm the exact size.

My form says 20 to 50 KB. Will this work?

Yes. We aim just under 50 KB, so the file is comfortably above 20 KB for normal photos.

Does the photo also need specific pixels?

Some exams set exact pixels (for example IBPS 200×230). Use the exam's own page, which sets pixels and KB together.

Is it safe for documents with personal details?

Yes. Nothing is uploaded; the photo is processed on your own phone or computer.
