India Post GDS Photo Resizer (Fix 4:5 Ratio Error) – 30KB to 50KB
Stop getting your application rejected. The #1 reason for form failure in the India Post Gramin Dak Sevak (GDS) recruitment is the strict “4:5 Portrait Aspect Ratio and Photo size should be at least 30kb“ rule.
If you are seeing the error message: “Image must have 4:5 (portrait) aspect ratio” or “Photo size should be at least 30kb”, you are in the right place.
Why is Your Photo Getting Rejected?
India Post has updated its image guidelines for the 2026 cycle. Unlike other SSC or Railway forms, GDS requires a particular shape:
- The Issue: Most mobile cameras take photos in 3:4 or 9:16 ratios.
- The Rule: GDS strictly requires a 4:5 Ratio. This means if your photo is 200 pixels wide, it must be exactly 250 pixels tall.
- The Size Trap: The file size must be between 30KB and50KB. Most online tools compress it too much (e.g., to 15KB), causing immediate rejection.
PhotoKB’s GDS Resizer solves both problems instantly. We automatically crop your image to the official 4:5 dimension and ensure the file size stays safely within the 30KB – 50KB “Green Zone.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: My photo is 15KB, why is it rejected?
A: The new GDS portal has a minimum limit of 30KB. If your file is smaller than 20KB, the server rejects it as “Low Quality.” Our tool automatically “Upscales” small images to ensure they are above 30KB without losing clarity.
Q: Can I take a selfie for the GDS form?
A: No. Selfies often have angled faces and bad lighting. You should use a proper passport-style photo. If you only have a selfie, upload it here, and our tool will help you crop it to look professional.
Q: Do I need a Date on the Photo (DOP)?
A: For India Post GDS, printing the Date on Photo is usually not mandatory unless specified in the latest notification. However, the photo itself must be recent.
Q: Is this tool safe?
A: Yes. We use Client-Side Processing. Your personal photos are resized inside your own browser and are never uploaded to our server. Your privacy is 100% protected.
