Can I compress a passport photo to 20 KB or 50 KB?

Yes. Enter your target file size in KB and the tool automatically tunes JPEG quality — and, if needed, the pixel dimensions — until the output lands at or under that size.

Can I add my name and date of birth to the photo?

Yes. Both fields are optional. When filled in, they are printed in a clean white strip below the photo, which is what most exam application forms ask for.

Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No. The photo is processed entirely in your browser with the Canvas API. Nothing is uploaded, and no photo, name or date of birth is stored anywhere.

Which formats can I download?

JPG (recommended, smallest file for a given target size) and PNG. JPG is required by most online application portals.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. You can take or pick a photo on your phone, adjust the size and download the finished passport photo without installing an app.

Output settings

Setting	Example/default	Effect
Country/document preset	Selected preset	Sets physical width, height and aspect ratio; confirm the current issuing-authority rule.
Print resolution	300	Converts millimetres to pixels using pixels = millimetres ÷ 25.4 × DPI.
Background	White	Changes the exported background; acceptance depends on the issuing authority.

How the browser process works

Crop a portrait to a selected document-photo aspect ratio and export a print-ready image or sheet in the browser. The page sends the selected file and settings to its passport-photo browser engine, creates a new output and downloads it without overwriting the source.

Privacy, quality checks and limitations

Keep the original file until the downloaded output has been opened and checked.
Verify page count, orientation, dimensions, text legibility, audio/video duration and metadata relevant to your use.
Browser-local processing reduces routine upload exposure, but your device, browser extensions and download location still matter.
A converted preview is not proof of legal authenticity, archival compliance, accessibility or digital-signature validity.
