Resize Image to 480×640
480×640 is a 3:4 portrait frame — the vertical version of old VGA. It turns up in ID and passport photo uploads, e-commerce product thumbnails, app onboarding assets and any form that asks for a small portrait image. Everything runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded. Need a smaller file instead? Compress or convert.
Drag the preview to choose which part of the image is kept. The same framing is used for every image in the batch.
Why choose 480×640?
480×640 gives a portrait canvas with a 3:4 ratio and 0.31 MP of detail. People most often need it for portrait photos, posters and mobile screens.
3:4 portrait shape
The portrait 3:4 proportion decides how your photo is framed: plan the subject around that shape before you crop.
Where it is used
480×640 suits portrait photos, posters and mobile screens. Using the exact size avoids a website scaling or cropping your image on its own.
Prints 1.6×2.13 in at 300 DPI
That is 4.1×5.4 cm at photo quality, or 3.2×4.3 in at 150 DPI for posters viewed from a distance.
About 48 KB–96 KB as JPG
A typical photo at 480×640 saves to roughly 48 KB–96 KB at good JPG quality; WebP is usually 25–35% smaller.
Sharp results
A 12 MP phone photo has 40× more pixels than 480×640, so resizing down keeps it sharp.
Framing control
A 3:4 phone photo already matches this shape, so almost nothing is cropped.

What 480×640 is actually for
480×640 is exactly 3:4. That matters more than the pixel count, because a lot of the forms that ask for this size are really asking for the ratio and will reject anything else. Government ID portals, school and exam registration systems and older HR tools are the usual suspects.
Your source photo almost certainly is not 3:4 portrait. A phone photo held upright is 3:4 already, so it drops straight in. A phone photo held sideways is 4:3 landscape, and turning that into a 3:4 portrait means cropping away roughly 44% of the width — more than the eye expects. A 16:9 screenshot loses even more. If the subject is anywhere near the left or right edge, crop it yourself first with the cropper so you choose what goes, rather than letting the centre crop decide.
The other thing to know is that this is a small target. At 480×640 you have 0.3 megapixels — about one fortieth of what a modern phone captures. Scaling down that far is safe and usually makes faces look cleaner, not worse. Scaling up to 480×640 from something smaller will not work; there is no detail to recover.
ID portals often cap the file size too, commonly at 50KB or 100KB. Resize here first, then run the result through the compressor to hit the byte limit — resizing changes dimensions, compressing changes file size, and you generally need both.
If you want the landscape version of this size instead, use 640×480.
Frequently asked questions
Is 480×640 the right size for a passport or ID photo?
It is a common accepted size, but requirements differ by country and by portal — some want 35×45mm at a given DPI, some specify a pixel range, and most cap the file size. Check the exact rules for the form you are filling in before you upload, and use the compressor afterwards if there is a KB limit.
What aspect ratio is 480×640?
480×640 has a portrait 3:4 aspect ratio. Images with a different shape have to be cropped or padded to fit it.
How big will a 480×640 image print?
At 300 DPI (photo quality) 480×640 prints at 1.6×2.13 inches (4.1×5.4 cm). At 150 DPI it covers 3.2×4.27 inches, fine for posters seen from further away.
How large is a 480×640 file?
A photo at 480×640 is usually 48 KB–96 KB as a JPG, and about 34 KB–67 KB as WebP. If you need it smaller, run it through the compressor afterwards.
Will my photo lose quality at 480×640?
No — a normal phone photo is much larger, so it is scaled down and stays sharp.
Can I resize to 480×640 without cropping?
Yes. Tick “Keep aspect ratio”: the whole picture is kept, but one side may come out shorter than 480×640. Without it, the image fills 480×640 exactly and the edges that do not fit the 3:4 shape are trimmed.
Are my images uploaded?
No. Resizing happens entirely in your browser. Nothing is transmitted or stored, and you can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it still works.
