Why exact KB sizing matters
UPSC, SSC, and other government exam portals enforce strict file size limits. If your photo is 201KB when the limit is 200KB, it's rejected instantly. You can't just "Save As" and hope for the best — you need precise control over the output file size.
Method: Using PhotoResizer.in (Fastest)
- Open PhotoResizer.in Image Resizer.
- Upload your passport-style photo.
- Set pixel dimensions as required (e.g., 200×230 px for some UPSC forms).
- Enable Target File Size and enter 200 KB.
- Click Resize — the tool automatically adjusts JPEG quality to hit exactly 200KB.
- Download your perfectly sized photo.
The entire process takes less than 30 seconds and works on phone, tablet, or computer.
Troubleshooting
- Photo comes out blurry: Your original photo may be too small. Start with a higher resolution image (at least 1000×1000 px).
- Can't reach 200KB: If your original is only 50KB, you can't meaningfully increase it to 200KB without upscaling. Take a new higher-resolution photo.
- Background not white: Use the Background Color Changer first, then resize.
