How to Resize Photos for SSC, UPSC, and State Govt Exams
The Challenge of Indian Govt Exam Portals
If you are applying for SSC CGL, UPSC, IBPS, or State PSC exams, you know the frustration of the "Invalid File Size" error. Most portals require:
- Photo Size: Exactly 3.5cm x 4.5cm (approx. 350x450 pixels).
- Weight: Strictly between 20KB and 50KB.
- Recency: The photo must often show the date or be taken within the last 3 months.
Why 'EZ File Changer' is the Best Tool for Aspirants
Aspirants often go to "Internet Cafes" just to resize a photo. You can do it yourself for free, more securely, using our Govt Exam Resizer.
1. Direct Dimension Presets
We have pre-configured the exact pixel dimensions required for major exams. Simply upload your photo, and the cropper will lock to the correct 3.5 : 4.5 ratio.
2. The "Smart-KB" Compression
Unlike generic apps that make your photo blurry, our tool uses an iterative compression algorithm. It keeps reducing the file size until it hits your target (e.g., 49KB) while preserving maximum facial clarity so you are recognizable during the exam.
3. Privacy for Your Documents
Government exam photos and signatures are sensitive. Since our tool works locally in your browser, your identity documents are never uploaded to our servers. You can even use it offline once the page is loaded.
Pro Tip: Don't Forget the Signature!
Most portals also require a signature (usually 10KB - 20KB). You can use our Custom Resize tool to crop your signature scan and hit those tiny KB limits instantly.
