Resize Image to 300x300

Make any photo exactly 300 × 300 pixels - the square size most document and exam portals ask for.

The Square Every Form Seems to Want

300 × 300 is the default square on countless application forms, and it is small enough that the file size takes care of itself. The aspect lock is switched off on this page because 300 × 300 is a fixed square: if your photo is rectangular, it will be squeezed to fit rather than cropped. If keeping the proportions matters - and for a face it usually does - crop the photo square first and then resize, which gives you a properly framed 300 × 300 instead of a stretched one. Once you have the dimensions right, run it through the compressor if the form also caps the file size.

How to Resize an Image

1

Upload your image

Choose a JPG, PNG, WebP, or GIF file. The tool shows its original dimensions and file size straight away.

2

Enter the new size

Pick a unit, type a width or height, and leave the lock on to keep the proportions. Presets like 300 × 300 and 1920 × 1080 are one tap away.

3

Download the resized image

Choose an output format and quality, then save the file at exactly the dimensions you set.

Where 300 × 300 Is Required

  • Photo fields on government and university application forms
  • Competitive exam registration portals
  • Square profile pictures for staff and member directories
  • App icons and small square logo assets
  • Product thumbnails on a grid layout
  • Any form that specifies a 300 by 300 pixel image

Resizing to 300 × 300

My photo is not square - will it stretch?

Yes, because 300 × 300 is a fixed square and the aspect lock is off. Crop the photo to a square first if you want the proportions preserved.

How big will the file be?

A 300 × 300 photo is typically 20-60 KB depending on the content and format. If the form also has a kilobyte limit, use the compressor afterwards.

Can I make it 300 × 300 without losing quality?

Shrinking a larger photo to 300 × 300 keeps it sharp. Enlarging a smaller one cannot add detail that was never captured, so it will look soft.

Does 300 × 300 mean pixels or DPI?

Pixels. DPI only matters when a size is given in centimetres or inches - this page works directly in pixels.
