Position and resize the crop box
Use the 8 handles to resize the crop boundary, or drag inside the box to reposition. Drag on the background to draw a new crop area.

Passport & Exam Photo Framing Standards
Official standards from UPSC, SSC, IBPS, and State Boards
Official identity guidelines (such as ICAO, UPSC, and passport offices) enforce strict photographic composition rules:
- ✓Face Coverage: The candidate’s face, from chin to crown of head, should occupy approximately 70% to 80% of the vertical photo height.
- ✓Centering: Head and shoulders must be centered both horizontally and vertically with both ears visible.
- ✓Eye Line: Eyes should be positioned approximately one-third of the way down from the top edge.
- ✓Background: Ensure distracting objects or background shadows are cropped out, leaving a clean, light-colored background.

Frequently Asked Questions About Image Cropper
Answers to common queries regarding file limits, quality preservation, and exam portals:
Does cropping reduce the resolution or quality of my photo?
↓
No. Our cropper maps crop coordinates directly back to the original decoded image canvas in memory. It extracts the selected pixels at full native resolution without downsampling or repeated lossy re-encoding.
How do I crop a photo to 3:4 portrait or 1:1 square ratio?
↓
Click the "3:4" or "1:1" preset pill buttons above the editing canvas. The crop rectangle will lock to the selected proportion, ensuring your exported image perfectly matches standard portal aspect ratios.
Can I rotate an image that was scanned upside down or sideways?
↓
Yes. Use the "Rotate 90° CCW" or "Rotate 90° CW" buttons. The cropper performs a lossless dimension-swapping canvas rotation and recalculates crop coordinates automatically so your selection box stays in place.
Can I undo accidental crop changes?
↓
Yes. Every crop modification is stored in an undo stack. Simply click the "Undo" button to revert your previous boundary adjustment, or click "Reset" to return to the full image.
