Form and ID photo size
Resize an image to 160 × 200 pixels
Your photo comes out as a JPG of exactly 160 × 200 pixels. Drag the preview to centre your face, and set a KB limit if your form has one.
Keeping the photo in shape
160 × 200 is a 4:5 portrait shape, taller than it is wide. If your photo has a different shape, choose how to make it fit:
- Crop to fill cuts off the edges. Drag the preview or use the zoom slider to choose what stays in.
- Fit inside and add a border keeps the whole photo and fills the gaps with a color you pick.
- Stretch squeezes the photo to the new shape, which distorts it.
Where 160 × 200 is used
- Online application forms that ask for a small passport-style photo of 160 × 200 pixels, which is common on Indian recruitment, university and scholarship portals.
- Photos for student, staff and membership records, where only a small head-and-shoulders picture is needed.
- Thumbnails for ID-style profile photos in school and office systems.

Questions
What file size should a 160 × 200 photo be?
Forms that use this size usually also set a limit in KB, often somewhere between 10 and 50 KB. Type your form's limit into Max file size in the settings, and the photo is saved as a JPG under it. At 160 × 200 a good-quality JPG is usually only 8–20 KB, so it fits most limits easily.
My form says 160 × 200 but also 3.5 × 4.5 cm. Which do I use?
Upload the pixel size the form asks for. The centimetre size describes the shape of a printed passport photo; 160 × 200 pixels is a slightly squarer shape, so check your head and shoulders still fit after cropping.

Is it safe?
Yes. The photo is opened and resized by your own browser. It is never uploaded to a server, so nobody else can see it, and it works even if you go offline after the page has loaded. Saving a new copy also removes hidden camera data (EXIF), such as the GPS location where the photo was taken.
