Developer ToolsPassport Photo Size in Pixels and KB: 35x45 mm and 2x2 Inch
Two of the most common photo sizes explained in pixels, plus how to keep the file under the KB limit of your form.
Forms often reject photos above 200KB. Here is the quickest way to get under the limit without ruining the picture.
Many job, exam and admission forms say "upload an image up to 200KB". A normal phone photo is 3 to 8MB, so it will be rejected. The good news is that you can make it much smaller in a minute.
The quick way
- Open the Image Compressor to 200KB page.
- Choose your photo. JPG, PNG and WebP all work.
- Press Compress and download the result. The target is already set to 200KB.
The photo is processed in your browser, so it is not uploaded anywhere.
How it works
JPG stores a picture with a quality setting. A lower setting makes a smaller file but adds blur and blocks. The tool tries many settings and keeps the highest quality that still fits under 200KB. If that is not enough, it also makes the picture a little smaller in pixels, because fewer pixels need fewer bytes.
Tips for a better result
- Crop first. Cut away empty space so the face or document fills the frame.
- Use a plain background. Simple backgrounds compress far better than busy ones.
- Choose JPG for photos. PNG is better for logos and screenshots with flat colours.
- Do not compress twice. Always start from the original file when you can.
Other sizes
Your form may ask for a different limit. We also have pages for 100KB, 50KB, 20KB and 500KB. Remember that 1MB is 1024KB.
