AI Image Resizing: How to Meet Strict KB Limits for Exam Forms

The 50KB Struggle

Government exam portals like SSC CGL, UPSC, or Banking exams have notoriously strict file size limits (usually between 20KB and 50KB). If your file is 51KB, the upload fails. If you compress it too much using standard tools, your face becomes a blurry mess that could lead to application rejection.

Balancing Quality and Size

Most compressors just lower the quality until the file is small enough. Our AI Custom Resizer uses an intelligent quality loop:

• Pixel Accuracy: It first resizes the dimensions exactly (e.g., 350x450px).
• Smart Compression: It analyzes the image and compresses only the "noisy" parts, keeping your facial features as sharp as possible while staying under the target KB.

Pro-Tips for Exam Photos

• Format: Always export as JPG. Most exam portals do not yet support WebP or PNG.
• Aspect Ratio: Ensure your crop matches the required ratio (usually 3.5cm x 4.5cm).
• White Background: Use our AI Background Removal tool to ensure there are no shadows behind you, as shadows are a common reason for form rejection.
