Passport Size Photo Resizer — Resize Passport Size Photo Online
Applying for a passport, visa, PAN card or a government exam online means your photo must match strict rules: exact dimensions (photo width 3.5 and height 4.5 cm), a small file size (20KB–100KB) and a clean background. Toolvala.in's passport size photo resizer lets you resize passport size photo files in seconds, for free, without sending your picture to any server.
Resize Photo to Passport Size (4.5 cm x 3.5 cm)
The standard Indian passport photo is 4.5 cm x 3.5 cm (also written as 4.5*3.5 cm photo size or 35 x 45 mm). Choose the India Passport preset and the tool will resize photo to passport size, centre-crop it so your face stays in the frame, and render it at 300 DPI — about 413 x 531 pixels.
Passport Photo Size Reducer (Reduce KB)
Many forms say “photo must be under 50 KB”. Use the passport photo size reducer: type the limit or tap 20, 50, 100 or 200 KB and the tool automatically finds the best JPG quality below that limit. This passport size photo size reducer keeps your face sharp while shrinking the file.
Pass Photo Resize with Your Own File Name
Need a specific name like rahul-passport.jpg? Type it in the File Name box before you download. Whether you do a pass photo resize for an exam form or a visa portal, the saved file uses exactly the name you chose.
