How does the tool resize images to an exact KB file size?

Our engine uses a multi-pass canvas compression algorithm. It automatically adjusts JPEG compression quality and dimensions iteratively until the target file size is achieved within a 1-2% margin.

Are my personal photos or signatures uploaded to any server?

No! 100% of the image processing, resizing, cropping, and compression happens locally inside your browser using HTML5 Canvas and WebAssembly. Your photos never leave your device.

Which government exams and portals are supported?

Pre-configured presets are available for UPSC, SSC (CGL, CHSL, MTS), IBPS / SBI Bank PO, NEET, JEE Main, GATE, State PSCs, NTA, Passport Seva, and PAN card applications.

What if my uploaded photo has the wrong aspect ratio?

The interactive cropper allows you to frame your passport photo or signature according to the official dimension requirements (e.g., 3.5cm x 4.5cm or 200x230 pixels) before resizing.

Can I specify both exact dimensions and an exact file size limit?

Yes. You can lock both pixel dimensions (width x height) and set a strict maximum file size (such as 'under 50 KB' or 'between 10 KB and 20 KB').

What is the maximum file size and batch limit for photos and signatures?

You can upload images up to 500 MB each, with batch support for up to 50 images at once. There are no dimension or megapixel ceilings (such as 4096px or 40MP)—our canvas engine processes arbitrary resolutions client-side.

What modern image formats are accepted?

The tool accepts JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, AVIF, BMP, TIFF, SVG, and HEIC files, automatically standardizing them to portal-compliant JPG or PNG outputs.

How does signature mode enhance scanned ink signatures?

Signature mode applies an adaptive high-contrast binarization filter that removes off-white backgrounds, shadows, and paper grain, leaving clean, sharp black ink lines on a pure white background as mandated by government portals.

How to Use This Tool

Upload Your Image

Drag and drop your photo or signature from your computer or mobile device. You can upload multiple files at once for batch processing.

Select a Preset or Set Dimensions Manually

Choose a government exam preset (SSC, UPSC, IBPS, RRB, ADRE, APSC, Police), document preset (Passport, Aadhaar, PAN), or social media preset. Each preset auto-fills the correct dimensions and file size range. You can also enter custom width and height values.

Set Target File Size Range (Auto-Optimized)

Government exam presets automatically set both Min Size (KB) and Max Size (KB) fields. The tool intelligently compresses your image to land within this exact range (e.g., 30–49 KB for RRB Signature). If your image is naturally smaller than the minimum, the tool automatically adjusts the output to meet the required size — ensuring your file won't be rejected by exam portals.

Enable Signature Enhancement (For Signatures Only)

Turn on "Enhance Signature Mode" to automatically remove grey shadows and produce crisp dark ink on a clean white background. Only use this for signature images, not photos.

Enable White Background (For Photos Only)

Turn on "Set White Background" to replace colored or uneven backgrounds with pure white — ideal for passport and ID photos. Not recommended for signatures.

Click Resize Image

The tool processes your image locally in your browser. For government exam presets, it ensures the output falls within the required KB range and shows the result with a green (in range) or red (out of range) indicator.

Download

Instantly download your resized, compressed, and compliant image ready for online form submission. For multiple files, download as a ZIP archive.

⚠️ Note:

Use/Enable "Enhance Signature Mode" only if you are uploading signatures only. For best results, upload a signature written/signed clearly on plain white paper.
Use "Set White Background" for photos only (not signatures). For best results, upload photos taken against a plain, solid background.

⚠️ Important: Do not optimize/reduce/adjust sizes of your photo and signature together — upload each separately. First adjust your signatures, once done reset, and then adjust your photos.

💡 Tip: If your output shows a "Below minimum" warning, try uploading a higher-resolution source image. The tool works best when the source image has more detail to work with.
