Exam Photo Resizer
(20KB - 50KB) with Name & DOP

For SSC exams, passport photographs must be in JPEG/JPG format with a file size strictly between 20 KB and 50 KB. The standard dimensions are 200 x 230 pixels (approximately 3.5 cm width x 4.5 cm height). The photo must have a light or white background, with both ears and eyes clearly visible, and without wearing spectacles, sunglasses, or caps.

Exams that mandatorily require Candidate Name and Date of Photo (DOP) printed at the bottom include UPSC Civil Services (CSE), UPSC NDA & CDS, NTA NEET-UG, JEE Main, and several State PSCs like BPSC. The photo must be recently captured (within 10 days for UPSC or within 3 months for NEET) with a clear white background strip at the bottom showing bold text.

Our tool utilizes multi-pass HTML5 Canvas compression and bicubic downsampling algorithms. Instead of degrading facial sharpness, it strips away redundant camera metadata (EXIF) and fine-tunes color quantization. Simply select the '20-50 KB' preset or adjust the target KB slider, and the tool ensures crisp facial details within the exact byte boundary.

Check the 'Add Candidate Name & Date of Photo (DOP) Strip' box in the tool controls. Enter your full name in the name field and select your photo capture date. The tool automatically draws a crisp white bar across the bottom of your photograph with centered, legible black typography matching official government standards.

Portals use automated server validation filters that check three criteria: (1) File size is strictly within min-max KB (e.g. exactly 20KB to 50KB), (2) Exact pixel width and height (e.g. 200x230 px or 350x350 px), and (3) MIME type is standard JPEG/JPG. If your file is 50.4 KB or formatted as PNG/PDF, the portal rejects it. Our tool enforces both pixel and byte limits simultaneously.

Under the 'Dimensions & Units' section in the tool, select 'Centimeters (cm)' or 'Millimeters (mm)' instead of pixels. Enter standard specifications (such as 3.5 cm width and 4.5 cm height). The tool automatically converts these measurements to the exact pixel resolution required by online recruitment systems at standard 150 to 300 DPI.

Under current UPSC guidelines, photos for One Time Registration and applications must be in JPG format, with dimensions between 350x350 pixels and 1000x1000 pixels, and file size between 20 KB and 300 KB. The photograph must be taken within 10 days of application, occupying 3/4th of the frame, with candidate name and photo date stamped at the base.

Yes! You can choose 'Custom Manual Configuration' and set 140x60 pixels with a 10 KB–20 KB target size. Alternatively, use our dedicated Result91 Signature Resizer tool (/tools/signature-resizer), which includes background whitening, contrast enhancement, and a built-in digital signature drawing pad.

No, never. All image processing, cropping, aspect ratio adjustments, date stamping, and compression are executed 100% locally in your web browser using HTML5 Canvas API. Your photograph is never uploaded, transferred, or stored on our servers, ensuring total candidate privacy.

Yes. The tool is fully responsive and optimized for mobile touchscreens. You can snap a fresh photo with your smartphone camera or upload one from your gallery, apply official presets or custom dimensions, and download the portal-ready JPEG file directly into your phone's downloads folder.

Almost all major examination boards—including SSC, UPSC, NTA (NEET/JEE), RRB, and IBPS—now strictly advise against wearing spectacles or tinted glasses. Glare, reflections, or thick frames covering the eyes can lead to automatic application rejection. If you must wear corrective glasses, ensure zero reflection and complete eye visibility.

A plain white or light off-white background is standard across Indian competitive exams. Colored, patterned, textured, or outdoor backgrounds are rejected. If your photo has a slight background tint, you can enable our 'White Background Filter' checkbox to brighten and clean the backdrop before downloading.
