What is Photo Size Fixer?

Government portals require photos within exact KB ranges. This tool compresses your photo to hit the precise target — not just "smaller", but exactly the KB you need.

🎯 When to use

  • SSC CGL / CHSL / MTS application
  • UPSC Civil Services form
  • Railway RRB exam application
  • Bank PO / Clerk exam portal
  • Passport and visa applications

📋 How it works

  • Upload your photo (any format)
  • Select target size: 10/20/50/100KB or custom
  • Tool compresses using Canvas API iteration
  • Download your exact-size JPG photo
💡 Pro Tip: For UPSC and SSC portals, target 40–45KB. This gives a safe buffer below the 50KB limit and prevents portal rejections due to minor browser size calculation differences.
Common Questions
Will my photo become blurry?
For most smartphone photos, compressing to 50KB keeps faces and text clearly readable. Only very large images at very small targets may show slight softening.
What format is the output?
Always JPG — the format accepted by all Indian government portals.
Is my photo stored anywhere?
No. Processing happens entirely in your browser. Your photo never leaves your device and is automatically cleared when you close the tab.
🔒 Privacy guaranteed. Your photo is processed locally using your device's browser. Nothing is uploaded to any server.

How to Resize a Photo for Government Exam Portals

Government exam portals like SSC, UPSC, RRB, IBPS and Passport Seva all require photos within a specific file size range — typically 20KB to 50KB in JPG format. Phone camera photos are usually 2MB to 8MB, which is 40 to 160 times larger than the portal accepts. The Photo Size Fixer compresses your photo to the exact target in seconds.

All processing happens inside your browser using the Canvas API. Your photo is never uploaded to any server, never stored anywhere, and cannot be seen by anyone at PDF Vault. When you close the browser tab, everything is cleared from memory automatically.

Step-by-Step Guide

1Take or choose your photo

Use a recent photo with a plain white background. Good lighting from the front. Both ears visible, no glasses. Can be a selfie with the back camera or a photo taken by someone else.

2Upload to the tool

Click the upload area or drag your photo in. Accepts JPG, PNG and HEIC from phone gallery or computer. The file loads entirely in your browser — nothing is sent online.

3Select target size

Click a preset (10KB, 20KB, 50KB, 100KB) or type a custom value. For most SSC and UPSC exams, select 50KB. For stricter portals, select 20KB.

4Download and upload

Click Resize Photo and wait 2–3 seconds. Download the compressed file and upload it directly to your government portal.

💡 Tip: Always target 5–10% below the portal limit. If the limit is 50KB, target 45KB. This gives a safe buffer for differences in how portals measure file size.
⚠️ Common mistake: Using PNG format. Government portals require JPG. Our tool automatically converts PNG and HEIC to JPG during compression.

Frequently Asked Questions

What photo size does SSC require?
SSC exams (CGL, CHSL, MTS, CPO) require photos between 20KB and 50KB in JPG format with a plain white background. Target 40–45KB for a safe buffer.
Will my photo become blurry at 20KB?
For a standard passport-size photo on a white background, 20KB keeps the face clearly visible and acceptable for official identification. The tool uses gradual JPEG quality reduction to preserve maximum clarity.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. Processing happens entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Your photo is never sent to any server, never stored anywhere, and cannot be seen by anyone.
Can I resize photos on my Android phone?
Yes. Open pdf-vault.com in Chrome on Android. The tool works in the mobile browser without any app installation.
What if I need a custom size not in the presets?
Type any value in the Custom KB field. The tool accepts any target from 5KB to 2000KB.
