Resize passport photos for Nigerian online portals

Runs in this tab, on your device
Nothing leaves your device

School, scholarship, recruitment and registration portals each want a different photo size. Enter the KB limit and pixels your portal asks for and get a photo that is accepted the first time.

Default
600×600, under 50 KB
Adjustable
Any KB, any pixels
Uploaded
Never

Three steps to an accepted photo

  1. Read your portal’s rule

    Look for lines like “not more than 50KB”, “JPG only” or “300×300 pixels” on the registration page.

  2. Enter it here

    Set the KB limit, and the pixels if given. Leave pixels off if the portal only mentions file size.

  3. Download and upload

    Upload the new photo to the portal. Your picture never touched our servers.

Why portals reject photos

The most common reasons are a file that is too large, the wrong format (for example HEIC from an iPhone or PNG when JPG is required), or pixel dimensions that don’t match. DigiCompress fixes all three in one go.

Requirements change between sessions and differ between institutions, so we don’t list “official” numbers here. Always copy the exact figures from the portal you are using.

Useful extras

Wrong background colour?
Use the background remover to switch to white, red or blue.
Documents too
For certificates and result slips, use compress PDF to 200KB or to 100KB.
iPhone photos
Take a screenshot of the photo or set Camera → Formats → Most Compatible, so it saves as JPG.

Frequently asked questions

Still unsure? Email hello@digicompress.com.

What is the standard passport photo size for online forms in Nigeria?

There isn’t one standard — each portal sets its own. Common limits are 20KB, 50KB or 100KB in JPG, sometimes with fixed pixels. Use the numbers your portal gives.

Can I use a photo taken on my phone?

Yes. Stand against a plain wall in daylight, take the photo, then resize it here.

Is my photo stored anywhere?

No. It is processed on your device and wiped from the page after download.

Is DigiCompress free?

Yes. You can shrink 3 files a day without an account. Sign in with Google or an email link to use it as much as you like. We don’t sell anything inside the tool, and we never ask for payment details.
