Exam photo resizer
Hit the 20KB to 50KB window that most portals demand.
Defaults (200×230px, 20–50KB) match the window most Indian exam portals ask for — change the numbers to match your specific form.
How to use Exam photo resizer
- Drop a clear, front-facing photo onto the upload area.
- Enter the dimensions in pixels and the size window in KB that your exam form asks for.
- Adjust the crop so your face is framed correctly.
- Click Crop & download. The file comes out at the exact dimensions and within the KB range.
Most exam and recruitment portals don't just cap the file size — they enforce a window, rejecting a photo that's too small just as readily as one that's too large. Compressing blindly to "under 50KB" can easily land you at 4KB, which fails the same way an 80KB file does.
This tool crops to your target pixel dimensions, then searches for the highest JPEG quality that still fits under your maximum — which almost always lands comfortably above the minimum too, since it's aiming for the best quality the ceiling allows rather than the smallest possible file.
If a photo is so simple that even maximum quality at your chosen dimensions can't clear the floor, it's enlarged slightly and re-compressed until it does — you'll see a note if that happens.
Questions
Why do portals reject a file that's too small?
It's usually an anti-abuse check — a suspiciously tiny file often means a blank, heavily corrupted, or low-effort image, so the size floor is there to filter that out alongside the usual ceiling on upload size.
What dimensions and size window should I use?
Whatever your specific form's instructions say — the defaults (200×230px, 20–50KB) match the most common convention across Indian exam and recruitment portals.
Why was my photo enlarged?
If your photo compresses to under the minimum size even at full quality — which happens with very simple, low-detail images at small dimensions — enlarging it slightly gives the encoder more pixels to work with, pushing the file size up without a visible quality loss.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. The crop and compression happen entirely on a canvas in your browser — the file never leaves your device.
