How it works
- Choose a photo — JPG, PNG, WebP or iPhone HEIC.
- Adjust the crop frame if the target needs a fixed shape.
- The tool searches for the best quality that fits the size and pixel requirements.
- Download the result. Location and camera data (EXIF) are removed.
Didn’t fit? What to do
- Phone photo rejected? It may be over 6 MB or saved as HEIC: convert it to a JPG under 6 MB.
- Check pixels, not only MB: the photo must be at least 600 pixels wide and 750 pixels tall, in portrait orientation.
- Do not use filters or edit your face; the rules forbid altered photos. The tool only converts, resizes and re-saves.
- Use a plain light-coloured background and show your head, shoulders and upper body.
