Resize and compress a photo to fit a form
Hit the exact pixel size and the maximum KB your form demands, in one step. Most forms ask for both, and satisfying one usually breaks the other.

How to resize and compress a photo to fit a form
- 1
Enter what the form asks for
Width and height in pixels, and the maximum file size in KB. Copy them from the form itself.
- 2
Add your photo and frame it
For a passport or visa photo, make the background white — your head is then found and framed to the official size automatically. Zoom and move it to fine-tune.
- 3
Download a file that fits
Correct dimensions and under the size limit at the same time, in one step.
Frequently asked questions
Why do I need both a size in pixels and a size in KB?
Because most forms ask for both, and satisfying one usually breaks the other. Resize to the right dimensions and the file is often still too large; compress until it fits and the dimensions may no longer match. This tool solves them together — it resizes to your exact pixel size, then finds the highest quality that still lands under your KB limit.
My form rejected the photo even though the size was right. Why?
Check the requirements again for anything beyond dimensions and file size. For US 2x2 and 35 x 45 mm photos this tool measures the head size against the official rule and shows a guide for where the eyes should sit, but it cannot judge everything: a neutral expression, even lighting, no glasses in a US photo, and no shadows on the face are still yours to check. It guarantees the file specification and the framing, not that the photograph itself will be accepted.
Are the presets the official requirements?
No, and they are deliberately editable. They are common starting points, but requirements differ between issuing countries and between portals within the same country, and they change. Always copy the exact numbers from the form you are filling in. A wrong number here costs you a rejected application, so the form is the authority, not us.
The result is still over my limit. What now?
Usually the dimensions are simply too large for that limit — a 1000x1000 photo cannot be squeezed into 20KB without becoming unusable. Re-read the form to confirm it really wants a photo that big. Otherwise, a photo with a plain background compresses far better than a busy one, and most ID photo rules require a plain background anyway.
Can I print passport photos at home or at a pharmacy?
Yes. For US 2x2 and 35 x 45 mm photos there is a 4x6 print option: six US photos, or eight 35 x 45 mm ones, laid out on one sheet with light cutting lines. Print it as an ordinary 4x6 photo at any pharmacy photo counter or kiosk, or on photo paper at home, and cut along the lines. Paper applications usually want two identical prints, so one sheet covers it with spares.
Why is the output always JPG?
JPEG is the only common format whose quality can be tuned to hit an exact file size, and it is what nearly every form expects. PNG compresses losslessly, so it cannot be dialled down to a specific KB target. If your form explicitly requires PNG, use the image resizer and then the format converter.
