About this tool

Resume Photo Resizer

Many Indian resumes and job application forms include a passport-size photo in the top corner. A full-size phone photo makes the Word or PDF file heavy and can look stretched when placed in the document.

The Passport-size tab makes a 3.5 cm × 4.5 cm photo at 300 DPI, which prints sharply, and the Square tab makes a 400 × 400 px photo for job portals and LinkedIn-style profiles. Both stay under 100 KB.

Use a recent photo with a plain, light background and formal clothes. The Background Remover can replace a busy background with white first.

    The right DPI is saved in the file.

Yes. Choose "Check one I have" above the upload box and upload the file. It tests the format, the size in KB, the pixel dimensions and the saved DPI exactly as the form will see them, and if anything is wrong, Fix it automatically makes a version that passes.

Click Change above the upload box and type the size range and dimensions from your notification. The tool then makes a JPG that meets those numbers instead. Always check the latest official notification before you upload, because rules can change between years.

No. The photo is resized and compressed inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. It is never uploaded to our servers, so your photo, signature and ID documents stay private.
