How to Resize and Compress Photo & Signature Online:
- Upload your photo: Drag and drop your raw passport photo or signature image into the dashed area, or click to browse files from your computer or phone.
- Choose the Preset: Select the exam (like SSC Photo, SSC Signature, or UPSC) from the dropdown. This automatically locks the crop box aspect ratio and file size targets. Alternatively, select "Custom" to input your own dimensions and KB limit.
- Adjust the Crop Box: Use the mouse or your finger to drag/pan the image. Use the slider beneath the image to zoom in/out. Align the image inside the red box so that your face/shoulders are centered or the signature is completely visible.
- Click Generate: Press the "Generate Output Image" button. The tool will crop the image and run an internal binary search algorithm to adjust the JPEG quality until the size drops exactly below your target limit (e.g., 20KB or 50KB).
- Download: Click the green "Download Resized Image" button to save the file. It is now ready to upload straight onto the recruitment portal!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Why does my photo get rejected on SSC or UPSC portals?
A: The most common reasons are incorrect aspect ratio (e.g., uploading a landscape photo), upload size exceeding limits (over 50KB or 300KB), or blurriness. Our tool resolves all of these by locking the aspect ratio and automatically dialing the file size to fit within limits while maintaining maximum sharpness.
Q: Can I compress the image to a specific size like exactly under 20KB?
A: Yes. When you select presets like SSC Signature (10-20KB), our compression engine calculates the highest quality setting that keeps the file under 20KB. If you choose "Custom", you can type in any size (e.g., 50KB, 100KB) and our engine will compress it to fit.
Q: Does this resizer affect image quality?
A: Our tool is built to maximize quality. Instead of using a static, low-quality compression level that makes your face pixelated, we run a binary search to find the highest possible quality setting that still matches your target size limit.
Q: Is this tool free to use?
A: Yes, it is 100% free and unlimited. You can resize as many photos and signatures as you need without any watermarks or registration.
