📸 Sarkari Job Photo & Signature Resizer & Compressor

Select Exam Preset or Mode

Choose between Passport Photo, Signature, or Thumb Impression, then click your target recruitment board (SSC, UPSC, Railway RRB, IBPS/SBI, or State Police) to automatically set the exact pixel dimensions and 20 KB to 50 KB limits.

Upload Your Passport Photo or Signature

Drag and drop or select your image from your phone or PC. We accept standard JPG, JPEG, PNG, or WebP files of any size. All processing happens 100% inside your browser for maximum privacy.

Frame Face & Align (80% Face Rule)

Use the interactive Zoom slider and click-drag the image to center your face within the crop frame. Ensure both ears, forehead, and shoulders are evenly positioned in accordance with the 70%–80% face coverage mandate.

Enable Name & Date (DOP) Strip

If applying for UPSC OTR or SSC examinations requiring printed capture dates, check "Add Name & Date of Photo (DOP)". Type your full name and select the capture date. The tool instantly embeds an official white bottom strip.

Download Instant JPEG (20 KB – 50 KB)

Our binary search compressor automatically balances JPEG quality to ensure your file strictly lands within the required 20 KB to 50 KB limits. Click the download button to save the ready-to-upload file directly to your device.

• Plain White / Off-White Background: Clean, shadowless illumination.
• 75%–80% Face Area: Clear view of eyes, nose, lips, and both ears.
• Straight Frontal Gaze: Looking squarely into the camera lens with neutral expression.
• Clean DOP Banner: Candidate name in capitals and capture date at bottom strip.
• Optimal 300 DPI Resolution: 350 × 450 pixels strictly within 20 KB to 50 KB.

• Dark or Patterned Background: Red, dark blue, or outdoor selfies are rejected.
• Caps, Hats, or Sunglasses: Hiding head contours or eyes with tinted glasses or masks.
• Spectacles Reflection / Glare: Flash reflection obstructing pupil visibility.
• Tilted or Side Angles: Casual selfies, cropped family photos, or sideways poses.
• Signatures in CAPITAL Letters: Signatures must be running handwriting; capital letters are cancelled.

Do NOT use dark blue, red, green, patterned, or outdoor backgrounds. Plain white or light off-white background is strictly mandatory across all boards.

Look straight into the camera lens with a neutral expression. 70% to 80% of the image frame must cover the candidate's face. Both ears must be clearly visible.

SSC & RRB strictly reject photos showing caps, hats, dark goggles, or tinted spectacles with flash reflection hiding the eyes.

Sign with a black ballpoint pen on plain white unruled paper. Signatures written in BLOCK / CAPITAL letters will be cancelled automatically.

For UPSC & SSC, photo must not be older than 10 days to 3 months. Candidate name and date of clicking photo (DOP) should be printed clearly on the bottom banner.

Government examination servers reject PNG, WEBP, and PDF files. Our tool automatically converts and exports fully compliant JPEG files.

1. Error: "File size exceeds 50 KB" or "File too small (< 20 KB)"

Why it happens: Official NIC and CDAC server upload scripts use strict file size byte validation. If your image is 50.1 KB or 19.8 KB, the form is rejected immediately.
How to fix: Our tool uses binary search compression with byte padding that guarantees the final output lands squarely within the 20 KB – 50 KB range without losing face sharpness.

2. Error: "Invalid File Format or Extension (.png / .pdf not allowed)"

Why it happens: Many candidates take screenshots on smartphones, saving images as `.png` or `.webp`, or scan files into `.pdf`. Renaming `.png` to `.jpg` manually fails because server-side MIME detection identifies the actual binary structure.
How to fix: Upload your file into our tool. The HTML5 Canvas decoder reads any image format and re-encodes a clean, standard Progressive JPEG stream with full header compatibility.

3. Error: "Dimensions Must Be 3.5cm x 4.5cm or Aspect Ratio Mismatch"

Why it happens: Application portals test aspect ratio (`width / height ≈ 0.778`). Stretching or squishing images creates distorted facial proportions.
How to fix: Select the SSC preset (350×450 px). Our crop box locks the aspect ratio so you can pan and zoom your face while maintaining perfect mathematical proportions.

4. Error: "Signature is Illegible or in Block Capital Letters"

Why it happens: Scrutiny committees check signatures during document verification. Signatures written in capital letters or using faint blue ink on lined paper are cancelled.
How to fix: Sign in running cursive handwriting using a black ballpoint pen on plain white paper. Switch to the "Signature Resizer" tab to format to 140×60 px and 10–20 KB.
