Private browser tool

Prepare an application photo

Use one controlled workflow when a destination specifies both pixel dimensions and a byte ceiling. The tool keeps the exact dimensions and refuses a limit it cannot meet safely. Processing happens in your browser; selected file contents are not uploaded.

Choose an image and copy the destination’s exact dimensions and maximum KB.

How to use this tool safely

  1. Copy the destination’s current width, height, maximum KB, accepted format, and visual rules before changing the image.
  2. Choose a JPG, PNG, or WebP, set the focal position, and run the single local preparation step.
  3. Confirm all three reported checks, then open the downloaded JPG and inspect framing, headroom, text, edges, and visible private information.

Input, output, and no-upload processing

JPG, PNG, and WebP input is supported; output is JPEG. The workflow crops to the requested aspect ratio, keeps the exact output dimensions, and refuses an impossible byte ceiling instead of silently shrinking those dimensions.

What Readyvio verifies

Readyvio verifies the output pixel dimensions and decimal-KB ceiling, then checks the JPEG for a defined set of sensitive metadata field names. It cannot verify biometric composition, official acceptance, color accuracy, every possible metadata form, or private information visible in the pixels.

Prepare one application photo with three technical checks

This workflow is for application portals that publish an exact width, exact height, and maximum file size. It crops around your chosen focal position, preserves those requested dimensions, searches for a JPEG below the decimal-KB ceiling, and checks the output for a defined list of sensitive metadata fields.

Copy every requirement from the destination immediately before preparing the photo. A portal may also specify background, pose, head size, lighting, format, color, minimum quality, or recency rules that software cannot certify from dimensions and bytes alone.

Use the result as a checked sharing copy

Keep the original unchanged. Open the downloaded JPEG and inspect facial detail, background edges, clothing, headroom, color, and any private information visible in the pixels. A passed technical check is not an approval decision by a government, employer, school, or other receiving organization.

Common questions

Why did the tool refuse my size limit?

The exact dimensions could not fit below that byte ceiling within the quality safeguard. Choose a larger permitted limit, smaller permitted dimensions, or a tighter source crop instead of accepting an unreadable result.

Does this certify a passport or application photo?

No. It verifies technical output properties only. Pose, lighting, background, head size, document content, and current authority rules must be checked against the receiving service.

Can I resize and compress an application photo in one step?

Yes. Enter the exact width, height, and maximum decimal KB, then the tool performs the crop, resize, JPEG compression, and defined metadata check together.

Does the application photo leave my device?

No. The selected file is decoded and processed in your browser. The tool code does not upload its contents to Readyvio.

What does the metadata check cover?

It looks for a defined set of sensitive EXIF, GPS, IPTC, XMP, and related field names in the finished JPEG. It cannot prove the absence of every proprietary structure or information visible in the pixels.

Should I delete the original photo?

No. Keep the original privately. The downloaded JPEG is a separate application or sharing copy that may have different quality, metadata, and color characteristics.

Before you submit

The checked output is a JPEG sharing copy. Inspect composition, quality, visible private details, and the receiving authority’s current rules before submitting.

Readyvio is not affiliated with an issuing authority and cannot guarantee acceptance. Check the destination's current rules and keep the original file.
