Flexible Image Compression for Every Need

Instantly resize and compress your passport photo to meet strict UPSC application guidelines. Get your image perfectly between 20KB and 300KB without losing clarity.

Use Case

Essential for Civil Services (CSE), NDA, CDS, and other UPSC aspirants who need their passport photos to pass the strict OTR (One Time Registration) portal checks flawlessly.

How It Works

Filing your UPSC application can be stressful, and the most common hurdle candidates face is the dreaded photo upload error. The Union Public Service Commission enforces highly specific, rigid guidelines: your photograph must be in JPEG format, strictly between 20KB and 300KB in file size, and the dimensions must fall between 350x350 and 1000x1000 pixels. Our specialized UPSC photo compressor is designed to take the guesswork out of this frustrating process. By instantly scaling your photo to a highly safe 600-pixel width and applying an optimized 40% quality setting, you are guaranteed a perfectly compliant, crystal-clear image that the portal will accept on the first try. Best of all, your processing happens entirely locally on your device, ensuring your personal data remains completely secure.

What You Get

Optimized images that balance quality and file size for faster uploads.
