Struggling to shrink a JPEG under 50KB? Here’s a simple method that works, no expensive software or complicated tools required!
- Go to our Compress PDF tool and upload your JPEG. You can do this by either dragging and dropping your image into the upload area or by clicking “Choose Files” to select one from your device.
- Select the “Basic” option for medium compression or “Strong” for an even smaller file size, and click “Compress” to reduce the file size. Note that Strong compression is a Smallpdf Pro feature—start with a 7-day free trial.
- Once the compression is complete, click “Export As” and choose “Image (.jpg).”
- Choose “Convert entire pages” and then click “Convert”.
- That’s it! Click “Download” to get your newly compressed JPEG.
How Does Smallpdf Compress JPEG Files?
Wondering how a PDF compressor can also function as a JPEG size reducer? Here’s how it works: when you upload your JPEG file to our compression tool, we start by converting it into a PDF.
When that’s done, we’ll compress your newly converted file as much as possible.
Once your PDF has been compressed, you can convert it back to its original JPEG format with a single click. The result is a compressed version of your original image, which you can then use however you want.
JPEGs aren’t the only images that Smallpdf can compress. Our compression tool can also handle various file types, including PNG and BMP files.
By following the step-by-step process described above with these files, you can easily convert them.
Get Even Smaller JPEGs with Strong Compression
If your JPEG is still too large after basic compression, try Strong compression. It reduces the image resolution to further shrink the file size, making it ideal for your 50KB target.

Get Even Smaller JPEGs with Strong Compression While Smallpdf is proud to offer the best compression tool in the business, your file may still be larger than you’d expect after it goes through our compression process. In that case, you’ll need an even stronger JPEG image compressor—and our Strong compression option might be exactly what you’re looking for.
Unlike Regular compression, Strong compression will visibly reduce the resolution of your image. However, that allows us to compress your file even more dramatically than usual. As a result, you’ll have much better odds of successfully shrinking your JPEG to 50 KB or smaller while using this compression mode.
Strong compression is exclusively available to users with Smallpdf Pro accounts, so free Smallpdf users can’t normally use this feature. However, that doesn’t mean you’re out of luck in this situation. Instead, you can access Strong compression and other Pro features for a limited time by taking advantage of our seven-day free trial.

Compress JPEG to 50KB on the Go
Smallpdf also offers a mobile app for iOS and Android users, allowing you to compress or convert your JPEG files from anywhere.
When using Smallpdf on your phone, you can import any image from your gallery or scan an image directly within the app.
While using the Smallpdf mobile app as a JPEG compressor, you’ll have to start by manually converting your image into a PDF. Doing this isn’t difficult: you can simply run your file through our Convert JPEG to PDF tool before opening the PDF compressor.
From there, you’ll follow the same process you would on a computer. Simply compress your PDF, convert it back to JPEG format, and save the resulting file.
Downloading the Smallpdf mobile app isn’t the only way to use our services on mobile devices. You can also access our PDF compressor and other tools by visiting our website on your device’s browser.
What Else Can You Do With Your Files?
If you’re already using Smallpdf as an online photo compressor, you might be wondering what else our tools can do. With the help of Smallpdf, you can:
- Edit PDFs: Do you want to make changes to a PDF file? That’s what our PDF Editor is built for. This feature allows you to add annotations, highlights, images, and shapes to your documents. Smallpdf Pro users can also edit text in their PDFs with this tool.
- Chat with PDFs: We leverage AI technology to give you new ways to interact with PDF files. While using Chat With PDF, you can ask your document questions about the information it contains.
- Summarize PDFs: Another AI-powered feature is our AI PDF Summarizer, which generates an easy-to-read summary of any document you upload.
- Extract PDF pages: If you only need some pages included in a PDF document, you don’t have to keep the entire file. You can use Smallpdf’s Extract PDF tool to save individual pages from a PDF.
- Convert PDFs to other file formats: With Smallpdf’s tools, you can save PDFs as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents. You can also change any documents in these file formats to PDFs while using Smallpdf.
