Fix “input image exceeds pixel limit”
“Input image exceeds pixel limit” means the photo’s width, height, or total pixels are outside what the form allows — too large or too small.
Defaults below match a common 2400 × 2400 maximum (JPEG). Change these fields to your form’s limits — for example exact 200 × 230 for exam photos, or a different max. If you need 200×230 under 50 KB, use that dedicated task instead.
“Image dimensions are invalid” and “pixel dimensions are incorrect” are the same class of error. If the portal only mentions file size (KB or MB) and not pixels, use our fix file size exceeds the maximum limit task instead.

Fix it now
Requirement fields below are editable. Change them to match your form, then drop your file in to check and download a version that fits.
1. Enter the form's requirements
Copy these from the upload instructions on your form. Leave a field blank if the form does not specify it.
We can open JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC. Pick the format(s) your form accepts and we output one of them.
2. Select your photo or signature

Step by step
Read the required dimensions
Find the minimum and/or maximum width and height on the form (for example max 2400 × 2400).
Edit the width and height fields above
Defaults match a common 2400 × 2400 max error. Change them to your form’s limits; leave blank any the form does not specify.
Fix and download
Drop your photo in, download the resized JPEG, and upload it.
Frequently asked questions
- What does "input image exceeds pixel limit" mean?
- The upload portal rejected your photo because its pixel width, height, or total resolution is outside the allowed range. Resize to the dimensions listed on the form, then upload again.
- My form says 2400 × 2400 — can I fix that here?
- Yes. Max width and max height default to 2400. Drop in your photo, download a resized JPEG that fits under that limit, then upload again. Edit the fields if your form uses different numbers.
- What does "pixel dimensions are incorrect" mean?
- Same idea as invalid dimensions: the width or height does not match what the portal allows. Enter the required max (or exact) pixels in the editable fields below and resize.
- How is this different from file size exceeds the maximum limit?
- Pixel-limit errors are about dimensions (width × height). File-size errors are about KB or MB. Some forms reject for both — check the exact message on your portal.
- What if I see "image dimensions are invalid"?
- Treat it the same way: read the required width and height on the form, edit the fields below, and download a resized photo that matches.
Still rejected? Troubleshooting
- The photo looks stretched
- If the form requires an exact width and height with a different shape than your photo, crop your source to that shape first (passport photo maker supports crop to custom cm).
- I need exactly 200 × 230 under 50 KB
- Use the dedicated 200×230 under 50 KB task instead of this general pixel-limit fixer.
Private by design. Your file is read and fixed entirely in your browser — it is never uploaded. You can verify this yourself.
