Up to 2 MB. SafeResize checks the size before you download, and keeps it inside the limit whether the website counts 1 KB as 1,000 or 1,024 bytes.
White. Stand in front of a plain wall with no pattern, and face a window so there are no shadows behind you. The official rules do not allow edited photos, so SafeResize does not change the background for this document: a plain wall is the way.
From the chin to the top of the head, your head should fill 70% to 80% of the photo height. The face guide in the tool shows both lines.
The official rules say: No tinted glasses or coloured contact lenses, no reflections from glasses, and frames must not cover the eyes; avoid thick frames.
The official rules say: A child must be alone in the photo, with eyes open, looking at the camera and no hands showing.
Colour, taken within 6 months, not altered with any photo editing program. Whole head and top of the shoulders, face centred and filling 70–80% of the photo, with 3–4 mm of space above the head. Face forward, both edges of the face showing, eyes open, neutral expression, no red-eye or flash reflection. Veil or ghutra allowed if the full face shows, without shadows. No tinted glasses or coloured contact lenses, no reflections from glasses, and frames must not cover the eyes; avoid thick frames. A child must be alone in the photo, with eyes open, looking at the camera and no hands showing. Printed photos: 4 × 6 cm, white background, unmarked, not shiny, no creases.
JPEG or JPG. SafeResize saves a JPG (JPEG) file.
Yes. A photo taken at home is fine if it follows the rules above. It is easier if someone else takes it for you.
No. The photo is processed inside your browser and never leaves your phone or computer.
Please note: The iGA services page allows files up to 3 MB (also GIF or PNG), but the ID card photo requirements sheet says 2 MB and JPEG, so a JPEG of up to 2 MB is safest.
