How can I compress photo file size to 50kb in Windows 10?

Windows Fax and Scan, a preinstalled native Windows scanner utility that lets users directly compress photo file size to 50k without third-party compression software via fixed Low or Draft scan presets, is optimized for documents instead of high-detail photos and lacks adjustable custom quality parameters for precise size tuning.

How to Compress photo file size to 50k

1. Connect the scanner to a Windows computer and complete the driver installation.
2. Open the Start menu, search for Windows Fax and Scan, and then launch the software.
3. Switch to the Scanner tab in the top navigation bar, and then click New Scan.
4. Open the scan settings panel and select Low/Draft under the quality options.
5. Place the image or document on the scanner glass, and then start scanning.
6. The exported scan file is typically automatically set to approximately 50 KB.

Disadvantages

• Offers only two low-quality presets; does not allow for manual adjustment of precise compression parameters
• Performs poorly when processing detailed portraits and landscapes, resulting in severe blurring
• Originally designed for document processing; supports a limited number of image output formats

The built-in scanning tool can compress photos to 50k. It is suitable for users who only need to process simple text documents or ordinary images and do not want to install additional compression tools.

ps

• This software is designed for text documents or simple graphics; avoid using it to scan photos with fine details.
• Before opening the program, make sure your scanner is connected to prevent the device from failing to be detected.
• If you need clearer images, select a higher-quality mode, but keep in mind that files generated in these modes will be significantly larger than 50 KB.
