Choose an exam preset (or enter custom dimensions), then upload your photo to get a correctly sized, compressed image ready for upload.

Why photo size matters in Sarkari job applications

Almost every online government application form — SSC, UPSC, Railway RRB, IBPS, state PSCs and police recruitment boards — enforces strict rules for the photograph you upload: an exact pixel dimension, a maximum file size in kilobytes, and usually a JPEG file. Thousands of candidates lose their form every year simply because the photo was rejected at the last minute, or because a blurred, over-compressed image failed document verification later. This tool takes the guesswork out: pick your exam, upload the photo, and download a file that already meets the specification.

How to use the Photo Resize Tool

Select your exam preset, or choose "Custom" and type the exact width, height and KB limit from your notification.
Tap the upload area and pick a recent colour photograph with a plain light background.
The tool crops to the required ratio from the centre and compresses to fit the size limit.
Check the preview — your face should cover roughly 70–80% of the frame.
Download the JPEG and upload it directly into the application portal.

Frequently Asked Questions

The tool compresses only as much as needed to meet the KB limit, so quality stays as high as the specification allows. Start with a clear, well-lit original for the best result.
