Where 50KB image limits come from
50KB is the standard ceiling for passport-size photos on SSC, IBPS, and many state recruitment portals (usually 20KB–50KB). Phone cameras produce 2–5MB photos, so almost every upload needs resizing first.
How it works
The tool re-encodes your image as a JPEG and binary-searches the quality setting until the file is just under 50KB. If it can't fit at the original size, it scales the image down in 20% steps — unless you set exact pixel dimensions, which it always respects.
Tip
Most portals that cap photos at 50KB also set a 20KB minimum. Use a recent photo against a plain light background and you'll land at 30–45KB with no visible loss.
