University photo upload requirements
University admission portals commonly require passport-style profile photos in JPG format under 50–200KB, typically 200×200 to 400×400 pixels. Strict caps at 100KB are common on Indian, European, and Asian university systems. Photos must show a clear front-facing portrait with plain background. Non-compliant uploads block application submission at critical deadlines.
Prepare university application photos
Take a straight-on portrait against a plain background. Crop to a square with our Image Cropper, then compress to 100KB with our Resize to 100KB tool. If the portal specifies exact pixel dimensions, resize first then compress. Preview the result to confirm your face is clear and recognizable. Keep the original photo archived.
