Frequently asked questions
How do I make a photo under 200 KB or 50 KB?
Turn on “Limit file size” and enter the size in KB. We lower the JPEG quality first and only reduce the dimensions if that isn't enough.
What size is a passport photo?
Most countries use 35×45 mm, which is 413×531 pixels at 300 DPI. The US uses 2×2 inches (600×600 pixels). Check your local rules for background and head-size requirements.
What's the difference between Fill and Fit?
Fill crops the edges so the image covers the whole target size. Fit keeps the whole image and adds borders in the color you choose.
