One place for the photo sizes Indians search for most: passport, Aadhaar, PAN, stamp, SSC/exam pixels, and common KB caps. Imgician pre-fills the usual dimensions so you can resize in your browser — privately, without uploading files to our servers.
Always double-check the latest form notification or portal screen. Boards and UIDAI-related flows can change sizes or file-size rules between years.
How to use this hub
- Find your use case in the tables below.
- Open the matching tool and resize.
- Convert format if needed (HEIC to JPG).
- Compress to the KB limit if the form requires it.
- Upload the final download — not the camera original.
Passport & ID (centimeters)
| Use | Typical size | Tool |
|---|---|---|
| Indian passport / many IDs | 3.5 × 4.5 cm | Passport size |
| Aadhaar / UIDAI-style | 3.5 × 4.5 cm | Aadhaar size |
| PAN card | 3.5 × 2.5 cm | PAN size |
| Stamp size | 2 × 2.5 cm | Stamp size |
| Visa-style (many checklists) | 3.5 × 4.5 cm | Visa photo size |
| Generic 3.5×4.5 | 3.5 × 4.5 cm | 3.5×4.5 cm |
Notes on cm sizes
- 3.5 × 4.5 cm is the workhorse for passport, Aadhaar-style, and many exam photos.
- PAN (3.5 × 2.5 cm) is shorter — don’t submit a tall passport crop without resizing.
- Stamp (2 × 2.5 cm) is smaller still — common on school/college forms.
- For framing help: crop passport photo.
Exam & job forms (pixels)
| Use | Typical size | Tool |
|---|---|---|
| Photo (common) | 200 × 230 px | 200×230 |
| Signature | 140 × 60 px | Signature 140×60 |
| SSC photo + signature | 3.5×4.5 cm + 140×60 | SSC tool |
| UPSC | Photo + signature presets | UPSC tool |
| Banking exams | Photo + signature presets | Banking exam |
Custom values: resize in pixels or resize in cm.
File size (KB) limits
After you resize, compress if the portal caps uploads:
| Target | Tool |
|---|---|
| ~10KB | Compress to 10KB |
| ~20KB | Compress to 20KB |
| ~50KB | Compress to 50KB |
| ~100KB | Compress to 100KB |
| Any KB | Custom compressor |
Best order: resize (and crop) → compress. Smashing a multi-megabyte original straight to 20KB looks worse.
