Frequently asked questions
What size should an exam form photo be?
3.5 × 4.5 cm at 200 DPI = 276 × 354 pixels. JPG between 20KB and 50KB, a size range widely used on exam and recruitment forms. Each exam sets its own rules and they change every cycle, so match the numbers in your notification. Always confirm with your exam's official notification or information bulletin before you apply.
Can it change the background colour?
No. It crops, resizes and compresses but doesn't edit the background. Take the photo against a plain wall of the right colour in good, even light. That's also what most authorities require, since edited photos can be rejected.
What if my photo or signature is below the minimum KB?
Some forms reject files that are too small as well as too large, and a plain image such as a signature can stay below the minimum even at full quality. When that happens, the tool adds invisible padding (a JPEG comment block) to bring the file up to the minimum. The picture itself is unchanged.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. Cropping, resizing and compression all happen in your browser, and the photo never leaves your device.
Is it free?
Yes. It's completely free, with no sign-up and no watermark.
