About Compress to 50KB
50KB is a common limit for applicant photos on exam, job and government websites. A phone photo can be 3 MB or more, so it has to shrink about sixty times.
That sounds extreme, but a face photo is simple to compress once it is cropped. Most forms display it at a small size, where a 50KB image still looks clear.
Tips for this size
- Crop to head and shoulders first.
- Use a plain, light background; it compresses best.
- Always read your form's notice for the exact size and pixel rules.
