Questions
What is a 10 KB photo in pixels?
KB measures the file size, not the picture size, so there is no single answer. A 200 × 230 pixel JPG usually lands between 10 KB and 30 KB depending on quality. Set the pixel size your form asks for first, then lower the quality until the file fits.
How many pixels is a 3.5 cm × 4.5 cm photo?
It depends on DPI: 413 × 531 pixels at 300 DPI, 276 × 354 at 200 DPI and 138 × 177 at 100 DPI. Use the DPI your form names; 300 is the usual print value when it names none.
How many pixels is a 6 cm × 2 cm signature?
472 × 157 pixels at 200 DPI, 709 × 236 at 300 DPI and 236 × 79 at 100 DPI.
My photo is below the minimum KB. What do I do?
Small pictures often cannot reach a minimum such as 20 KB or 30 KB. Use a larger pixel size if the form allows it, raise the quality, or tick “fill the file up to the minimum” on the exam pages, which adds bytes to the JPG without changing the picture.
