Resize your photo and signature to the exact size the form asks for.

1. 1

   Pick a size

   Choose Photo, Signature or Any image, then a common size, or type the numbers from your form: pixels or mm, and the smallest and largest file size.

2. 2

   Position the picture

   Drop your image, drag it into the frame and zoom until your face or signature sits where you want it.

3. 3

   Check and download

   The gauge shows where the file lands inside the allowed weight. Download when it turns green.

Online forms for exams, jobs, visas and scholarships often want a photo of an exact size in pixels and a file weight in a narrow range, such as 20 to 50 KB. Getting there by hand means trial and error across three apps. This tool does the crop, the resize and the compression in one place, and shows you the result against the limit before you upload anything.

What it does

• Crops to the exact shape: pixels, millimetres, centimetres or inches, with the dpi you choose.
• Finds the best picture quality that still fits the file size window, so the photo stays as sharp as the limit allows.
• Measures the file so it passes whether the portal counts 1 KB as 1000 or 1024 bytes.
• Reaches a minimum file size by adding invisible filler to the JPG, so the picture itself is untouched.
• Adds a name and today’s date strip under a photo, for forms that ask for one.
• Cleans up a signature photographed on paper: whiter paper, darker ink.
• Writes the resolution into the file, and leaves out the location and camera data your phone put in the original.

Limits, honestly

• Sizes differ between forms and change from year to year. Use the numbers in your own notice, not the examples on this page.
• The result is a JPG, which is what almost every form asks for. PNG and WebP are not offered.
• HEIC photos open in Safari only. On other browsers, share the photo from your phone as a JPG first.
• It cannot add detail that is not there. A blurry or dark photo stays blurry, so take a sharp, evenly lit one.
• If a very small weight limit cannot be met at your exact pixel size, the tool says so. Untick keep the exact size to let it shrink the pixels.
