Photo Dimension Fixer
Exam portals reject photos with wrong width and height — even if the file size is correct. This tool resizes your photo to exact passport dimensions (3.5cm × 4.5cm) required by SSC, IBPS, UPSC, and Railways. Everything happens in your browser.
Required Dimensions by Exam

| IBPS (PO, Clerk, RRB) | 3.5 cm | 4.5 cm | 200 × 230 px |
| UPSC (CSE, NDA, CDS) | 3.5 cm | 4.5 cm | 200 × 230 px |
| RRB (NTPC, Group D) | 3.5 cm | 4.5 cm | 200 × 230 px |
| Signature (Most Exams) | 3.5 cm | 1.5 cm | 140 × 60 px |
Frequently Asked Questions
What dimensions does a passport size photo need for government exams?
Most government exams (SSC, IBPS, UPSC, Railways) require 3.5cm wide × 4.5cm tall, which translates to roughly 200×230 pixels at 150 DPI. Some portals specify exact pixel counts — always check the official notification.
My photo is 4000×3000 pixels from my phone. Can I just resize it?
Yes, but you need to crop AND resize. Phone photos have a different aspect ratio (4:3) compared to passport size (roughly 3.5:4.5). First crop to match the passport ratio, then resize to 200×230 pixels. Our tool does both steps automatically.
Does resizing affect image quality?
Resizing a large photo down to passport size actually improves quality because you're reducing pixels. The opposite (enlarging a small photo) degrades quality. Always start with the largest photo you have.
Are dimensions the same for signature uploads?
No. Signatures typically need 3.5cm × 1.5cm (about 140×60 pixels). This is much shorter than a photo. Using photo dimensions for signatures will cause rejection.
