About the UPSC Photo and Signature Resizer
UPSC online applications accept a photo of 20–200 KB with a plain white background, taken recently, and a signature image of 20–100 KB showing three signatures one below the other. Both must be JPG.
Choose your form and upload type, and this tool crops the image to the exact shape, resizes it to the required pixels, and picks the best JPEG quality that lands inside the allowed KB range. Signatures and thumb impressions are framed around the ink automatically and the paper is cleaned up to plain white. Everything happens on your phone or computer, so your photo and signature are never uploaded anywhere.
How to use the UPSC Photo and Signature Resizer
- 1
Choose your form and what you are uploading, for example Bank exams → Photo (200 × 230 px, 20–50 KB).
- 2
Add a clear photo or scan. For a signature, sign on white paper with a black pen and photograph it in good light.
- 3
For a photo, zoom and drag so your face sits inside the oval. For a signature, the crop is fitted around the ink; adjust the margin if needed.
- 4
Download the JPG. The status line shows its pixel size and KB, so you can check it against the form.
- 5
If your notification lists other numbers, choose Custom size and enter them.

- The tool sizes and crops your image; it cannot check whether the photo itself (background, lighting, glasses, expression) meets the form's rules.
- SSC now takes candidate photos live in its own portal, so only the SSC signature preset is offered.
- Specs change between notifications. The presets were checked in October 2026; always compare with your own notice.
Frequently asked questions
What size does this page make?
A 350 × 450 px photo between 20 and 200 KB, with the signature preset in the same list. The preset is already selected; switch to another form or Custom size in the list if your notification says otherwise.
Are these sizes official?
They are taken from recent notifications and exam guides, but each recruitment notice can change them. Check the photo and signature section of your own notification; if it differs, choose Custom size and enter its numbers.
My form has a minimum size. What if the file is too small?
If the best-quality file is still below the minimum (common for small signatures on white paper), the tool adds a hidden comment inside the JPEG to reach it. The picture does not change, and the file opens normally everywhere.
Why does a 4 MB photo become only 30 KB?
Forms need small pictures such as 200 × 230 pixels, which is about 1% of a phone photo's pixels. At that size a good-quality JPEG is naturally only tens of kilobytes.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Files are opened and processed in your browser, in a background thread. Nothing is uploaded, so the tool also works for confidential documents.
