Crop Photo Online Free — Passport, Exam, Instagram & WhatsApp Sizes

Updated October 2026 · 5 min read

Quick method: photofitapp.in → Resize tab → enter exact pixels → upload → compress to target KB → download JPEG. Crop + compress in one step, free.

Why "Crop Only" Tools Aren't Enough

Most free crop tools online only change the dimensions of your photo — they don't touch the file size. A 4MB photo cropped to 200×230 pixels is still several hundred KB or more, which exceeds the 50 KB limit on SSC portals and the 200 KB limit on NTA portals.

To submit a government form successfully you need both: the correct pixel dimensions (crop/resize) and the correct file size in KB (compression). PhotoFit does both in a single step — set the pixels, set the target KB, upload, done.

Crop Photo for Specific Uses

Passport Size Photo — 413×531 px

Indian passport photo must be 35×45 mm, which is 413×531 px at 300 DPI. White background only. File size 20–200 KB, JPEG. In PhotoFit, use the Passport preset or enter 413×531 manually, target 100 KB.

NEET / JEE Photo — 200×230 px

NTA portals accept 200×230 px (or 3.5×4.5 cm) JPEG, 10–200 KB, white or off-white background. PhotoFit's NEET preset handles this automatically — select it from the exam dropdown.

Instagram Profile — Square 320×320 px

Instagram displays profile photos as a 110×110 px circle but stores them at 320×320. For sharpest results, crop to 320×320 (square), compress to under 300 KB.

WhatsApp DP — 640×640 px

WhatsApp crops DP to a circle and displays at ~640×640. Square crop, compress to 200–300 KB for a sharp display photo at minimal file size.
