Compress a PNG to 50 KB
PNG files hit 50 KB caps constantly because PNG is lossless — a modest screenshot can weigh a megabyte. This tool reaches your target the only honest way PNG allows: by scaling dimensions down in measured steps, keeping edges crisp. It also offers one-click JPG or WebP conversion when that’s the better trade.

How it works
- Open this page — the compressor is already set for “Compress PNG to 50 KB”.
- Drop your image into the box, click to browse, or paste it with Ctrl+V.
- The tool re-encodes the image on your own device until it fits the target — nothing is uploaded.
- Check the preview and file size on the result card, then download.
Why PNG for this job
PNG is lossless — there is no quality dial to turn — so the only way to reach 50 KB is reducing pixel dimensions. The tool scales the image down in measured steps until it fits.
PNG is the right format for screenshots, diagrams, logos and anything with sharp edges or transparency. For photographs, a JPG at the same byte size will look substantially better; if your destination accepts JPG, use it for photos.
Frequently asked questions
Why can’t you just lower PNG quality like JPEG?
PNG stores pixels exactly — there is no quality setting in the format. Tools that claim “PNG quality” either reduce the colour palette or quietly convert to another format. This tool is explicit: PNG output means smaller dimensions, not hidden conversions.
My logo needs transparency and must be under 50 KB. What do I do?
Keep PNG output (JPEG would destroy the transparency) and let the tool scale it. Logos are simple images — even scaled versions stay sharp, and simple flat-colour art often fits 50 KB at generous dimensions.
