In my last post, I have shown you how to resize a photo with MS Picture Manager. Resizing photo with MS Picture Manager is somewhat tricky, therefore, in this tutorial I will show you a simple way to resize a photo using MS Paint. Usually, to fill out an online examination form, you need scanned copies of your photo and sign. Your photo and sign should be in prescribed dimensions for example; 150px-250px, 20kb-50kb etc. Therefore, before applying online you should have required size of your photo and sign.
If you do not have them then you might not be able to fill online examination forms. It becomes very annoying if you could not get desired size of image by cropping image in Paint or in some other software. Usually, in IBPS, SBI, UPSC, SSC, or some other competitive exams the image size should be more than 20kb and less than 50kb (20kb-50kb) and your sign file should be more than 10kb and less than 20kb (10kb-20kb). In this tutorial, you will be guided to resize a photo so let’s get to the point to resize a photo with MS Paint follow the instructions given below:
