Compress Photo for UPSC Application | MiniPx — Free, Fast & Private

UPSC exam applications have strict photo and signature requirements. The photograph must be in JPEG format, between 20KB and 300KB, with minimum dimensions of 200x230 pixels. The signature must be between 10KB and 60KB. MiniPx helps you meet these requirements precisely.

For the photograph: upload your photo, select JPEG format with Smart preset and 800px max width. This produces files between 80-250KB — well within UPSC limits. The photo should be a recent passport-style image with a white background.

For the signature: scan or photograph your signature on white paper. Upload to MiniPx, select JPEG with Tiny preset and 800px width. Signatures compress extremely well — typically 10-30KB. Ensure the signature is clearly visible against the white background.

MiniPx shows the exact file size after compression, so you can verify compliance before uploading to the UPSC portal. If the file is too large, reduce the width to 640px. If too small (below 20KB for photos), try the Gentle preset for slightly larger output.

Your identity documents stay private. MiniPx processes everything in your browser — your passport photo and signature are never uploaded to any server.

How it works

Upload your photo: Add your passport-style photograph (white background, front-facing, recent).
Set JPEG + Smart + 800px: JPEG format with Smart preset at 800px width produces files within UPSC photo limits (20-300KB).
Check file size: MiniPx shows the exact compressed size. Verify it falls between 20KB and 300KB for photos, 10-60KB for signatures.
Download and upload to UPSC: Save the compressed file and upload directly to the UPSC application portal.

Frequently asked questions

What are UPSC photo requirements?

UPSC requires JPEG format, file size between 20KB and 300KB, minimum dimensions 200x230 pixels, white background, recent passport-style photo. Face should cover 50-75% of the frame.

What are UPSC signature requirements?

Signature must be in JPEG format, between 10KB and 60KB. Sign on white paper with a black or dark blue pen, then scan or photograph it clearly.

My photo is under 20KB — what do I do?

Use the Gentle preset instead of Smart, or increase the max width to 1280px. Both produce slightly larger files while maintaining quality within UPSC requirements.

My photo is over 300KB — what do I do?

Reduce max width to 640px or switch to Tiny preset. If still over 300KB, try both together. A 640px Tiny JPEG is typically 30-80KB.

Can I use MiniPx for other exam applications?

Yes. MiniPx works for SSC, RRB, IBPS, state PSC, NTA, and all competitive exam portals. Each has slightly different size limits — check your specific exam requirements and adjust settings accordingly.

Is it safe for my identity documents?

Yes. MiniPx never uploads your photos or signatures. Processing happens entirely in your browser on your device.
