Civil services uploads in the 20-200 KB and 20-100 KB bands, named the way UPSC insists
Processed in your browser. Nothing is uploaded. Updated on 25 Oct 2026.UPSC states no pixel size at all, which surprises people who have read the figures still circulating from the retired One Time Registration module. What it does insist on is the file name: the photograph has to be called photo and the signature signature, or the upload is refused. The signature is signed three times, one below the other.
UPSC is already chosen; pick Photograph (20 KB to 200 KB) or Signature (20 KB to 100 KB).
Add the picture; UPSC states no pixel size for the photograph, so keep its own Width and Height or type new ones.
For the signature, sign three times one below the other in black ink before you scan it.
Press Make the file, then Download; the file is named photo or signature, as UPSC requires.
An Indian application portal checks two things and rejects the upload if either is wrong: the pixel dimensions, and the file size in kilobytes. Ordinary tools solve one and break the other. A resizer gets 200 by 230 exactly right and hands back 180 KB. A compressor gets to 40 KB by scaling the picture down, which is the one move that is not available here, because the portal is measuring the pixels.
This page fixes the dimensions first and never touches them again. Only JPEG quality moves, searched for the highest setting that still lands inside the band. Everything happens in your browser: the photograph and signature never leave the device, which matters more here than on most pages, since these are identity documents.
SSC and the Railway Recruitment Boards no longer accept a photograph file. Both capture it live through your camera while the form is open, and both notices state that photographing a printed photograph is a ground for rejection. There is no KB target to hit. UPSC has also moved portal, and the widely repeated figures come from a registration module UPSC itself marks as no longer applicable.
The rest of the article, and all 7 questions about Exam Photo and Signature Resizer, are on the Exam Photo and Signature Resizer page.
IBPS and SBI both ask for a photograph of 200 by 230 pixels weighing 20 to 50 KB, and a signature of 140 by 60 pixels weighing 10 to 20 KB, both JPEG. A left thumb impression at 240 by 240 and a hand-written declaration at 800 by 400 are also required.
No. SSC now captures the photograph through your camera while the application is open, and the notice states plainly that a candidate is not required to have a pre-existing photograph. Photographing a printed photo is a ground for rejection. Only the signature is still uploaded, at 10 to 20 KB.
General compressors reach a target size by scaling the picture down, since fewer pixels means fewer bytes. An exam portal checks the dimensions, so a 200 by 230 requirement met at 160 by 184 is refused. This page holds the dimensions fixed and moves only JPEG quality, which is the only lever left.
Preset chuniye aur photo daaliye; size kam karna apne aap ho jaata hai. The page fixes the pixel dimensions the form demands and then searches for the highest JPEG quality that still lands inside the KB band, so both requirements are met by one file rather than one at the cost of the other.
