How to resize an ID or passport photo
- 1. Add your photo. The ID photo 3×4 cm preset and a 100KB target are already selected.
- 2. Match the form. Switch Resize to Passport photo 3.5×4.5 cm if needed, and pick the KB limit the form states (for example 50KB or 20KB).
- 3. Click Compress images and download. The photo is cropped from the center, scaled and compressed in one go.
Photo sizes at a glance
- 3×4 cm → 354×472px. Common on résumés, job and exam applications.
- 3.5×4.5 cm → 413×531px. The usual passport-size photo, also used for many ID cards and visa forms.
Both are 300 dpi — sharp enough to print at the stated size. Always check the exact size and KB range in the form's instructions; they differ from site to site.
Form asks for exact pixels?
Some forms state the photo in pixels instead — for example 150×200px or 200×230px. Choose Custom size in pixels under Resize and type the width and height. The photo is cropped from the center to that shape and saved at exactly that size, under your KB limit.
Getting a good crop
The presets crop from the center, so start with a photo where your face is roughly in the middle, taken straight on against a plain, light background. Leave some space above your head: most rules want the head to fill a bit over half of the photo's height.
