Combine quality and dimension reduction
Reaching 50KB usually requires both lowering quality (40-60%) and reducing dimensions (800-1000px wide). Start with quality, then resize if needed.

Steps
Quick workflow
Use this simple browser workflow to get a smaller file while keeping the original on your device
- Select your image file.
- Choose WebP or JPEG output format.
- Lower quality to 40-60%.
- Reduce width to around 800-1000 pixels.
- Download and verify the file is under 50KB.
What to know before you start
Use WebP for tight targets
WebP produces noticeably smaller files than JPEG at the same visual quality, which makes hitting a strict 50KB limit much easier.
Check the final size
LessMB shows the output file size before you download, so you can iterate on settings until the image fits the required limit.
