About PhotoResizer

A small tool with one job: make sure the photograph and signature you attach to a government exam form are accepted the first time you upload them.

Application portals reject images for reasons they rarely explain well. The photo is four kilobytes too large. The signature is the right size but the wrong aspect ratio. The form wants 200×230 pixels and your phone produced 3024×4032. Each rejection costs another attempt at a portal that is usually under load on the last day.

PhotoResizer removes that loop. Choose the exam, and the pixel dimensions and file-size window from that notification are applied automatically. Add your photograph and signature, and the tool resizes, crops and compresses until the output lands inside the allowed range, then tells you whether it passed.

What we care about

Nothing is uploaded. Every resize, crop and compression happens on your own device using the canvas API. There is no upload endpoint, so there is no file to leak.

Numbers, not guesses. Each preset stores a pixel and kilobyte range, and every output is measured against it before you download. Guides marked with a notification link and date were checked against that notice; the rest show typical ranges, so always confirm on your own notification.

Built for form-filling day. The tool assumes you are in a cyber cafe queue with ten minutes left. It works on a slow phone and does not ask you to sign up.

Free and independent. PhotoResizer is not affiliated with any recruitment board. We read the notifications, encode the requirements, and keep the tool free.

How it is built

The site is a React application with no backend for image handling. Images are decoded into a canvas, resized with the requested fit mode, and re-encoded as JPEG at a quality the tool searches for until the file lands inside the size window. Quality checks for sharpness, exposure, background uniformity and ink coverage run on the same canvas data.

Who runs it

PhotoResizer is built and maintained by Akshay Mahajan, an independent developer in India. It is a personal project, not a company, and it is not affiliated with any recruitment board. You can reach the owner through the contact page.

How the size guides are checked

A guide that says “Checked against the official notice” links the notice and shows the date it was read. Guides without that line give general ranges that many exams use; treat them as a starting point and compare with your own notification before you upload.

Corrections

Notifications change and boards occasionally revise their requirements mid-cycle. If a preset here disagrees with the notification you are reading, the notification is right — please tell us through the contact page and we will correct it.
