Exact size: 200 × 230

Resize an image to 200 × 230 px

The exact 200 × 230 box is preset, with a 50 KB cap already applied. Crop fills the frame; Contain keeps the whole photo and pads it.

Processed in this browser tab — nothing is uploaded, stored or logged.

Short answer: add the photo and the panel is already set to 200 × 230 px with a 50 KB cap in Crop mode. Export JPEG for photographs — a PNG at the same pixels is usually larger and can miss the cap even though the dimensions are right. Check the face is centred, export, and confirm the downloaded file reports 200 × 230 px and a size inside your form's allowed range.

What 200 × 230 actually means

It is a portrait box with a 20:23 ratio — slightly taller than a square. A phone photo is usually 3:4 or 9:16, so something has to give: Crop trims the sides and fills the frame, Contain keeps every pixel and adds bars, Stretch distorts. For an ID-style photo, Crop with the face centred looks right; for a document photo, Contain avoids cutting anything.

Pixels and kilobytes are two different limits

If the upload still fails

  1. Re-open the downloaded file and check its properties, not the on-screen badge.
  2. Compare against the form's exact wording — some ask for 200 × 230, others 200 × 200.
  3. Try 48 KB if the portal counts 1 KB as 1,000 bytes.
  4. Keep JPEG for photos; PNG is fine only for graphics and transparency.

Questions

Is 200 × 230 the official exam photo size?

It is one of the most frequently requested boxes on Indian recruitment and admission portals, usually paired with a 20–50 KB cap. It is not universal: notifications change between exams and years, and some ask for 200 × 200 or a physical size in millimetres. Use the numbers printed on your own form.

Will cropping to 200 × 230 cut my head off?

The panel starts in Crop mode, which fills the box and trims the edges to keep proportions. Position the face in the middle before you start. If the whole photo must stay visible, switch to Contain: the output is still 200 × 230, with a background filling the empty space.

Why does the portrait look stretched?

Stretch (the Exact fit mode) forces the source into the box and distorts faces when the source ratio is not 20:23. Use Crop or Contain instead unless the portal explicitly wants fixed dimensions regardless of shape.

How do I keep the file under 50 KB as well?

The KB cap is preset to 50 KB on this page. The engine resizes first, then lowers JPEG quality until the cap fits, and reports the real byte count. If the result is still above 50 KB, start from a smaller source or accept a lower quality.

The portal also has a minimum size. What then?

This page caps the upper bound only. If the form says “between 20 KB and 50 KB” and your clean photo lands at 14 KB, scan or photograph at a larger size and crop again — a bigger source has more detail to encode, so the file grows.

Does resizing remove EXIF data?

Yes. The image is re-encoded from the decoded pixels, so camera metadata and colour profiles are not carried into the output. Orientation is applied to the pixels before the resize.
