Report a rejected fileApplication forms rarely ask for a vague thumbnail — they name a size, and anything else is rejected at upload. This resizer works to that number directly: enter the width and height a form asks for, choose whether you are thinking in pixels or in print units, and get a file at exactly that size. The unit switch matters because a passport photo is quoted in centimetres while a portal upload field is quoted in pixels, and DPI is what ties the two together.
What this fixes
Step by step
Type the width and height in pixels, or in centimetres or inches with the DPI the form states — the tool converts them exactly.
Contain pads the photo to the exact frame, Cover crops the overflow, Stretch fills it edge to edge. The preview shows the difference.
The output is exactly the dimensions you asked for, named after them, free and unwatermarked.
Common questions
The questions people actually ask about this tool — file sizes, formats and what a form will accept.
Still stuck? Contact usKeep the unit set to Pixels, type 200 into width and 230 into height, then pick a fit mode. The output will be exactly 200 x 230 px. If the original has a different shape, Contain adds padding around it, Cover crops the overflowing edges, and Stretch distorts the picture to fill the frame.
There is no fixed conversion — it depends on DPI. At 300 DPI, one inch is 300 pixels and one centimetre is roughly 118 pixels, so a 3.5 x 4.5 cm photo becomes about 413 x 531 px. Change the DPI value and the pixel result changes with it. If a form states a pixel size, work in pixels and ignore DPI entirely.
Use Contain when nothing may be lost — the whole picture is kept and padding fills the leftover space. Use Cover when the frame must be filled edge to edge and you accept that the outer edges are trimmed. Avoid Stretch for photos of people, since it changes the proportions of the face.
Not directly. Fewer pixels usually means a smaller file, but the exact KB depends on format and compression. If a form asks for both dimensions and a KB limit, resize here first, then run the result through the exact-KB compressor.
