3. How to Use This Resizer Tool

Our tool simplifies the technical process into three easy steps. You don't need to know about pixels, DPI, or compression algorithms. We handle it all for you securely in your browser.

1

Select Your File

Find the upload box for the document you want to process (Photo, Signature, or Thumb). Click the area or drag and drop your file. We accept standard image formats like JPG, PNG, and WebP, and even PDF files (which we automatically convert to image for you!).

2

Wait for Processing

Once uploaded, our intelligent algorithm instantly analyzes your image. It checks the dimensions and file size. If the file is too large, it compresses it without losing visible quality. If it's the wrong shape, it resizes it to fit the 3.5cm x 4.5cm (or 1.5cm) box perfectly.

3

Check and Download

You will see a preview of the processed image along with its new file size. If the text turns green, it means your file is within the 10-40KB (or 5-40KB) safe zone. Click the "Download" button to save the KEA-compliant JPG to your device.

4. Why Choose This Resizer?

🔒 100% Privacy & Security

Unlike other websites that upload your personal photos to a remote server, our tool uses Client-Side Processing. This means your images never leave your phone or computer. All resizing happens right inside your web browser essentially in "offline mode". Your data is completely safe.

⚡ Exact Specifications

Generic resizers just change the file size. Our tool is pre-configured with the specific logic for KEA exams. It knows that a photo needs to be 3.5x4.5cm and that a signature is 3.5x1.5cm. It eliminates the guesswork.

📉 Smart Compression

Getting a high-quality photo under 40 KB can be tricky. We use advanced compression algorithms that reduce file size while keeping the face and text clear, ensuring your admit card prints look sharp.

📱 Mobile Friendly

You don't need a desktop computer. This tool works perfectly on Android and iPhone browsers. You can even take a photo directly from your camera, upload it here, and get the formatted file ready for upload.

5. Troubleshooting Upload Issues

Even with the right file, you might face issues on the KEA portal. Here are common error messages and solutions:

  • Error: "Invalid File Format" The portal only accepts JPG/JPEG. If you have a PNG or PDF, this error occurs. Solution: Upload your file to our tool; we automatically convert the output to a standard JPG format.
  • Error: "File size exceeds limit" Your file is larger than 40 KB. Solution: Use the tool to compress it. Our tool guarantees the output is below the 40 KB maximum.
  • Error: "Image dimensions are incorrect" The aspect ratio of your image is wrong (e.g., a square photo for a rectangular slot). Solution: Our tool automatically crops and pads your image to fit the 3.5cm x 4.5cm Box exactly.
