Three ways to resize
- Exact pixels — type the width/height a form or website demands; aspect-ratio lock prevents stretching.
- By percentage — quickly halve or quarter a huge camera photo.
- To target KB — for upload limits: the tool finds the best quality that fits under your number, shrinking dimensions only when necessary.
Built for form uploads in Nepal
Government and exam portals — passport, licence, Lok Sewa, university applications — commonly reject photos over 100–300 KB or outside fixed pixel sizes. Resize here first and the upload goes through on the first try. Everything runs locally, so identity documents never touch a server. Need a proper passport-size photo with background and print sheet? Use the Passport Photo Maker; need smaller files without changing dimensions, the Image Compressor.
Quality details that matter
The resizer fixes phone-photo EXIF rotation on decode, downscales in steps with high-quality smoothing (a single big downscale looks blurry and aliased), flattens transparency onto white for JPG output, and reports the exact final dimensions, file size and quality used.
Frequently asked questions
How do I resize an image to 20 KB (or any KB size)?
Choose 'To target KB', type the size (or tap a preset like 20 KB), pick JPG or WebP, and press Resize. The tool binary-searches the compression quality to land just under your target, and shrinks dimensions automatically if quality alone can't reach it.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. Resizing happens entirely in your browser with the Canvas API — the image never leaves your device. That's why it's safe for citizenship, passport and other sensitive document photos.
Which format should I choose?
JPG for photos and form uploads (smallest, universally accepted), WebP when the site accepts it (even smaller), PNG only when you need lossless quality or transparency — note PNG files are much larger and can't hit small KB targets without shrinking dimensions.
Why does my phone photo come out rotated on other tools?
Phones store rotation as EXIF metadata that naive resizers ignore. This tool applies the EXIF orientation when decoding, so portrait photos stay upright.
Can I resize for Nepali government form uploads?
Yes — that's a core use case. Most Nepal government portals ask for images under a size limit (commonly 100–300 KB) with specific pixel dimensions. Use 'Exact pixels' for the dimensions or 'To target KB' for the size limit. For passport-size photo crops with a plain background, use our Passport Photo Maker.
