View all toolsFrequently asked questions about 500KB images
Who actually needs a 500KB image?
500KB is for specialist professional applications only. This includes certain consular visa systems, corporate HR document archives, professional licensing boards, and document verification platforms that need to read fine print or security features. It is not for standard exam forms.
Can I use 500KB for passport photos?
Most passport systems cap files at 200-240KB. While some newer e-passport systems accept larger files, 500KB is typically excessive. Check your specific country's requirements - most recommend 200KB or less.
Will 500KB work for government exams?
No. Indian government exams (SSC, UPSC, Banking, Railway) strictly require 20-50KB files. A 500KB file will be immediately rejected. Use our 20KB or 50KB presets for all exam applications.
What's the best format for 500KB documents?
JPEG is ideal for photographs and most document scans. For documents with sharp text and high contrast, JPEG at 90-95% quality provides excellent results. PNG is not recommended at this file size for photos.
Is 500KB enough for A4 document scans?
Yes, for most purposes. A 500KB JPEG at 1200×1600 pixels (approx 200 DPI) is sufficient to read printed text clearly. For archival quality with fine print and security features, you may need 1-2MB, but 500KB works for standard document verification.
