Online forms around the world ask for files in exact shapes: a visa photo of 600 × 600 pixels under 240 KB, a signature of 10 to 20 KB, a PDF under 500 KB. SafeResize makes your file fit, checks the pixels, file size and file type, and shows a head-size and background guide for passport and visa photos. It also scans paper pages into a PDF and makes small photos bigger.

What makes us different

  • Private by design. Everything happens in your browser. Your photos and documents are never uploaded.
  • Official rules, with sources. Every country page links to the official page and shows when we last checked it.
  • Made for everyone. One step at a time, big buttons, plain words, a text-size button and read-aloud.

How we check the rules

Every passport and visa photo rule on SafeResize comes from a government, embassy or official application website. After a rule is written down, it is checked a second time, number by number, against the official page before it goes on the site.

Each country page links to its source and shows the date of the last check. Where the official rules are unclear or differ between embassies, the page says so instead of guessing.

Who runs SafeResize

SafeResize is an independent project run by its founder. It is not connected to any government, embassy, visa centre or passport office, and it does not charge for the tools.
