Open Passport Photo Compressor →Passport Photo Dimensions & Size Standards
Standard digital passport photos for Indian official forms (Passport Seva, VISA portals, SSC, IBPS, UPSC, NEET) typically require pixel dimensions of 200 x 230 pixels (or 3.5 cm x 4.5 cm aspect ratio) with file size caps ranging between 20KB and 50KB. Photos shot directly on mobile phones are often 3000 x 4000 pixels (3MB+), causing form upload failures. Compressify lets you scale the dimensions and compress byte size simultaneously.
