Frequently Asked Questions
What are the exact photo requirements for UPPSC?
The Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) portal typically requires photos in JPEG format, under 20–50KB, at 150×200 px. Requirements may vary slightly by exam cycle — always verify against the official notification.
Why does the UPPSC portal reject my photo upload?
Common reasons: file exceeds 20–50KB, wrong format (must be JPEG), incorrect dimensions, or blurry image. Compress to the exact size with our tool and verify with the portal's preview.
Should I use JPG or PNG for UPPSC forms?
UPPSC forms typically require JPEG. JPEG is preferred for photos — it produces smaller files. PNG may be accepted but results in larger file sizes.
Can I use this tool for both photo and signature?
Yes. Use this tool for photo compression, and the dedicated Signature Resizer for signature images — they have different size and dimension requirements.
Is my photo stored on your servers?
No. All compression happens in your browser. Your photo is never uploaded to our servers — especially important for exam application photos containing personal identity information.
