Passport Photo Resizer
Crop your photo, set the exact pixel size you need, and optionally cap the file size — all in your browser, with no upload needed for most files.
Check your form for the exact size. Photo requirements differ by country, authority and application, and they change. Always take the exact dimensions and file size from the form you are filling in. The sizes below are common starting points, not official requirements, and CurePDF does not verify them against any authority.

Getting a good result
Crop before you resize
Set the crop box to the area the form asks for — usually head and shoulders centred with a little space above. Cropping first means the resize spends its pixels on the subject rather than the background.
Match the aspect ratio
If your crop is a different shape from the target dimensions, the photo will be squashed. Use a crop box with the same proportions as the size you pick.
Set the file size last
File size is a consequence of dimensions and quality. Choose the pixel size first, then apply a size cap only if the form requires one.
What the presets actually produce
Measured on a 1200 × 1500 test image saved as a 461 KB JPEG. Your own file sizes will differ — how many kilobytes an image needs depends on what is in it — but the output dimensions are exact, and the pattern is what matters.
| Preset | Output size | File size |
|---|---|---|
| 600 × 600 px | 600 × 600 | 48 KB |
| 413 × 531 px | 413 × 531 | 22 KB |
| 350 × 450 px | 350 × 450 | 16 KB |
| 200 × 230 px | 200 × 230 | 5 KB |
The pixel sizes come out exact every time — that part does not vary. What varies is the file size, and the useful thing to notice is where the size cap actually had work to do. With a 20 KB cap set, 600 × 600 came down from 48 KB to 20 KB and 413 × 531 from 22 KB to 19 KB, while the two smaller presets were already under 20 KB and were left alone entirely. So if your form asks for small dimensions and a small file, you will often get both without trading away any quality.
Where the processing happens
Everything on this page runs in your browser. Your image is read from disk, resized, and offered back for download — in the normal case it never reaches us at all, which matters more than usual here, since an identity photo or a signature is exactly the kind of file you would rather not upload.
If your browser cannot handle a particularly large image, CurePDF will say so and offer to process it on our servers instead — but only after you explicitly agree, and nothing is sent before you do.
