Passport & Document Photo Size for Government Forms (Easy Fix)

One of the most common reasons government applications fail is a photo or document that's too large or the wrong size. Whether it's a passport photo, an Aadhaar scan or a PDF upload, here's how to fix it in seconds — for free, right in your browser.

Photos: get under the size limit

Most portals want photos under a specific KB limit (often 20–100 KB) at set dimensions. Use our passport photo compressor or the Image Resizer to hit the exact size without losing clarity.

Documents: compress PDFs for upload

Scanned documents are often several MB — too big for government portals. Our PDF Compressor lets you pick a target size (like under 200 KB) so your upload goes through.

Quick checklist before you upload

• Check the portal's exact size (KB) and dimension (px) limits
• Compress the image/PDF to just under that limit
• Keep faces and text clearly readable
• Use JPG for photos and keep PDFs to the required page size
