How to use this tool

  1. Add your photo

    Drop the image onto the box, or tap it to pick a file — on a phone you can shoot a fresh photo straight from the camera.

  2. Choose the target size

    Pick one of the KB presets or type your own number, and add a pixel width and height if the form demands specific dimensions.

  3. Check and download

    The preview shows the compressed result and its exact size. If it looks right, download the JPEG and upload it to your form.

Questions people ask

What is the pixel size of a passport photo?

A 3.5 × 4.5 cm passport photo is about 276 × 354 pixels at 200 DPI, or 413 × 531 pixels at 300 DPI. This tool sets those dimensions for you and compresses the result to the file size your form allows.

Will this photo be accepted for my passport application?

It produces the correct dimensions and file size, but acceptance also depends on the photograph itself: a plain light background, a neutral expression, no glare on glasses, and your full face clearly visible. Follow the photo guidance published for your application and use this tool for the sizing.

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. The resizing happens inside your own browser using the Canvas API, and this site has no upload endpoint at all. You can switch off your internet connection after the page loads and the tool still works.

Will resizing to a small KB size ruin my photo?

Quality does drop as the file gets smaller, but the tool searches for the highest JPEG quality that still fits your target instead of guessing. The preview shows exactly what you are about to download, so you can judge it before saving.

Can I set the pixel width and height as well as the KB size?

Yes. Enter a width and height and the photo is resized to those dimensions first, then compressed to your KB target. Leave them blank to keep the original proportions.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. Tapping the drop zone opens your camera or gallery, and the download works the same way it does on a desktop. Most forms are filled on a phone, so the tool is built for that first.
