How to use the exam photo & signature resizer

Exam portals check three things: the picture size, the file size in KB and the format (almost always JPG). Forms state the picture size in different ways: in pixels (such as 200 × 230 px), in cm (such as 3.5 × 4.5 cm) or in inches (such as 2 × 2 in). Those are not interchangeable. At 300 DPI, 3.5 × 4.5 cm is about 413 × 531 pixels, not 200 × 230. Enter the size exactly as your form says. For cm, mm and inches the tool converts to pixels at the print resolution you choose (300 DPI unless a preset or your form says otherwise) and records that resolution in the file. For the file size, enter the range from your form and use the slider to choose where in that range to aim. If the sharpest JPEG is still under the minimum, the tool adds blank comment data. Some portals strip that data, or they measure the picture again, so re-save at a higher quality first. Guides linked below name the notice and the date it was checked, for SSC, IBPS, UPSC, NEET UG, JEE Main 2027, CSIR-UGC NET December 2026, Railway RRB, KPSC and state TET (CTET where that is the notice we could read). Each guide opens the matching preset. Where a notice gives no pixels, the preset’s crop is a starting shape.

  1. Drop your photo or a scan of your signature on the box.
  2. Choose an exam preset, or tap a common size, or type the width, height and unit from your form.
  3. Enter the file-size range from your form, and slide Aim for towards smaller or sharper.
  4. Drag the crop box so your face, or the whole signature, sits inside it.
  5. Tap Resize and compress and download the JPG.

Questions

My form says 2 × 2 inches. How many pixels is that?
It depends on the print resolution. At 300 DPI, 2 × 2 inches is 600 × 600 pixels; at 200 DPI it is 400 × 400. Choose inches as the unit and the resolution your form asks for, and the tool works out the pixels. If the form gives no resolution, 300 DPI is the usual choice for photos.
Can I set any file size I like?
Yes, any range from 1 KB up to 5,000 KB (about 5 MB). Most forms ask in KB, for example 20–50 KB or up to 200 KB. If the picture size is large and the limit very small, the tool tells you it can’t fit without becoming unreadable, so you can lower the picture size or raise the limit.
Are these the official sizes for my exam?
The note under the preset names the notice it was taken from, and the guide for that exam links the document, with the date it was checked. Where a notice gives no pixels, the crop is labelled as a starting shape, not as the board’s measurement. Boards change the rules, so read the latest notification and edit the width, height and KB fields if they differ.
Why do 3.5 × 4.5 cm and 200 × 230 px both appear?
They are different requests. 3.5 × 4.5 cm is a print size. CTET February 2026 states the photograph that way and does not state pixels. 200 × 230 px is what IBPS prefers for the uploaded file. At 300 DPI, 3.5 × 4.5 cm is about 413 × 531 pixels. IBPS also describes the photograph as 4.5 cm × 3.5 cm, which is still not 200 × 230 px. Follow the line your notice uses for the upload.
Why can’t I upload a photo for SSC?
The SSC CGL 2026 notice captures the photograph live in the application. It does not ask for a photograph file. The SSC preset prepares the signature. Railway RRB NTPC 2026 does the same for the photograph.
The portal says my file is too small. Why?
Some forms set a minimum size, such as 20 KB. The tool first saves the JPEG at a higher quality. If the picture is still too small, it adds blank comment data so the file meets the minimum without changing the picture. Some portals strip that extra data, or they check the width and height again. If the upload is then rejected as too small, move Aim for to the right, or use a larger pixel size when the notice allows it, so the JPEG itself is heavy enough.
How should I scan my signature?
Sign in black ink on plain white paper, photograph it in daylight, and tick the black-and-white option. Crop tightly around the signature.
What photo background should I use?
Most exams want a light or white background, your face covering about 70 percent of the photo, and a recent photo without a cap or dark glasses.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. Your photo is processed by your own browser and never sent to a server. You can even switch on airplane mode after the page loads.
