Photo Resizer: While applying online for recruitment like GPSC, Railway or CCE, the photo and signature have to be uploaded in a specific KB (kilobyte). If the size is more than that, the form is not submitted. Photo & Picture Resizer app is the best to solve this problem.
Photo & Picture Resizer: App Features
- Reduces the size of photos without losing quality.
- Batch Resizing: Resize multiple photos at once.
- Custom Size: Set pixels or KB as per your requirement.
Key Aspects of Resizing Photos and Signatures (Technical Aspects)
- Just reducing the file size is not enough, it is also essential to keep the following things in mind:
- Aspect Ratio: If the ratio is not maintained while resizing, the photo may become longer or wider. This app automatically maintains the proportions so that your face does not look distorted.
- DPI (Dots Per Inch): Clarity is important in government documents. This app reduces the file size by maintaining the pixel density, so that the photo does not tear while printing.
- Format Conversion: Often, camera photos are in .heic format, which this app easily converts to .jpg or .jpeg, which are acceptable on all government portals.
Advanced Features: Which will save your time
- Custom Resolution: You can set the pixels (Width x Height) yourself. For example, for OJAS, it is easy to set 5 cm. Height and 3.6 cm. Width.
- Offline Processing: The biggest feature of this app is that it works even without internet, which maintains the privacy of your data.
- Instant Compare: After resizing, you can compare the quality between the original photo and the new photo.
