Good to know
Runs on your device
Your photos are compressed by your browser. They are never uploaded.
Under 50 KB
The limit counts a KB as 1,000 bytes, so the file also passes sites that count 1,024.
Many photos at once
Drop several images and download them one by one or as a ZIP.
Frequently asked questions
Are my photos uploaded?
No. They are compressed in your browser and never leave your device.
How does it get under 50 KB?
It looks for the highest JPG quality that fits. If even low quality is too big, it scales the image down step by step until it fits.
My form also has a minimum size and exact pixels. What should I use?
Use the Exam Photo & Signature Resizer. It crops to the exact width and height and keeps the file between the minimum and maximum KB.
Can I choose a different size?
Yes. Type any target from 5 KB upward in the toolbar, or switch to Quality mode to set the quality yourself.
What happens to transparent PNGs?
JPG has no transparency, so transparent areas become white.
