CBI Scale IV Officers Photo Resizer
Exact Size for 2026 Form
Upload any portrait and instantly resize to the strict 20KB–50KB Central Bureau of Investigation requirements. 100% private — nothing leaves your device.
Upload JPG or PNG, up to 5 MB — we'll convert it to match the spec above.
Important Instructions:
- Face must occupy exactly 80% of the photograph.
- Red-eye effect must be removed.
- No dark glasses permitted.
How this tool works
This tool scales your photo to 200 × 230 pixels and saves a JPG between 20 KB and 50 KB, the CBI limit for Scale IV Officers. It lowers JPEG quality only as far as needed to stay under 50 KB, and pads a file that comes out below 20 KB without changing the picture. It does not replace backgrounds, so take the photo against a white or light-coloured background.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this photo resizer tool officially provided by CBI?
No. FreeApplyTools is an independent utility platform. However, the engine is hardcoded to strictly follow the official CBI notification rules for 2026.
What happens if my photo is larger than 50KB?
The official CBI portal will block your upload and throw an error. This tool prevents that by automatically capping the output size to within 20KB–50KB.
What photo format does CBI 2026 accept?
Most government portals accept only JPEG/JPG format. Our tool automatically converts and compresses your photo to the correct format.
Common Scale IV Officers Photo Upload Errors
"File size exceeds 50KB"
The CBI portal rejects photos above 50KB. Our tool automatically caps the output to stay within 20–50KB.
"Invalid image dimensions"
Photos must be exactly 200×230px. Our resizer auto-crops to the exact pixel spec.
"Photo rejected — wrong background"
CBI requires a white or light-coloured background. Selfies or photos taken indoors often have grey/dark tones that trigger rejection.
