Ration Card Photo Resizer
Resize your photo to the size Ration Card application forms typically expect.
Ration card applications are handled state-by-state in India, through each state's own food and civil supplies portal, so requirements can differ more than they do for a single national system like PAN or Voter ID. Most portals still follow the same general pattern, though: a small, square-ish photo under a fairly strict KB ceiling. This tool lets you resize and compress your photo to fit that pattern directly in your browser, without needing to know which specific image editor settings match a government form. Since your state's exact numbers may differ from another state's, use the values below as a common starting point and adjust the pixel dimensions in the advanced controls if your specific portal states something different. As always, the whole process runs locally — your photo is never uploaded anywhere by this tool.
| Item | Dimensions | File size |
|---|---|---|
| Photo | 150×150px | 10-30KB |

Frequently asked questions
Are ration card photo requirements the same in every state?
No — since ration cards are managed by state governments individually, exact size and format requirements can vary. Check your specific state's food & civil supplies portal for the authoritative numbers.
Can I use the same photo for every family member on the card?
No — most state portals require an individual photo per member being added to the ration card, not one shared photo for the household.
What if my state asks for a different pixel size than shown here?
Open "Advanced: exact pixel dimensions" in the tool below and enter your state's specific width and height — the KB compression step still applies on top of whatever size you choose.
