Exam Photo Resizer

The usual reasons are a file outside the KB range, the wrong pixel size, or a format other than JPG. Some websites also count KB as 1,000 bytes, so a file your phone shows as “50 KB” can be rejected. This tool sets the exact pixels, keeps the file inside the range under both ways of counting KB, and always saves a JPG.

We collect them from the latest notices we can find, but conducting bodies change them between years and sometimes between posts. Each exam shows whether we have checked it against the official notice and links to the official website. Always compare with your notification before you submit.

Choose “Custom size” and type the width and height in pixels, plus the minimum and maximum KB from your notice. If the notice gives centimetres instead, multiply by DPI ÷ 2.54. For example, 3.5 cm at 200 DPI is 276 pixels. Our Resize Image tool can do that conversion for you.

Only if your notice says so. Some recruitment forms require the candidate's name and the date the photo was taken, printed below the face. Tick the option and type your name. The white strip is added inside the required pixel size, so the final dimensions are still correct.

A recent colour photo with a plain light background, your face looking straight at the camera and filling about 70–80% of the frame, both ears visible, no cap or dark glasses, and even lighting without shadows. Selfies taken too close distort the face, so ask someone to take it from about 1.5 metres away.

No. Cropping, resizing and compression all happen inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. Your photo never leaves your device.
