About the 200 × 230 photo size
200 × 230 pixels is the photo size printed in the instructions of a great many exam and recruitment portals. It's an unusual shape — slightly taller than it is wide — which is why cropping by eye rarely lands it exactly.
Do this step before worrying about kilobytes. Resizing changes how many pixels there are; compressing changes how much space those pixels take. Compress first and the resize will undo your work, because the image is re-encoded.
Once the dimensions are right, a 200 × 230 photo compresses very comfortably: forms asking for this size usually cap the file at 20 to 50 KB, and at these dimensions that's plenty for a sharp, clear face.

How to use it
- 01Drop your photo — a clear, front-facing shot on a plain background works best.
- 02The size is already 200 × 230 pixels. Drag nothing else; crop to fill trims the edges to fit.
- 03Tap Resize, download, then compress to the file size the form asks for.

Questions, answered
Why 200 × 230 and not a square?
It's a portrait shape close to a passport photo's proportions, which suits a head-and-shoulders picture. The exact numbers come from the form's own template, so use what your instructions specify.
My photo looks stretched — what went wrong?
Use crop to fill rather than stretch. Cropping trims the edges to reach the shape; stretching distorts the face, and forms do reject that.
What file size should it be?
Check the instructions. 20 KB and 50 KB are the common caps — resize here first, then compress to the number you need.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Resizing happens in your browser, so ID photos and documents never leave your device.
