UPSC Photo & Signature Compressor
Prepare images for UPSC Civil Services, NDA, CDS and CAPF applications with local browser processing. The photo preset starts at a 300KB maximum and 350 × 350 pixels. The editor accepts a custom target so you can set a value within a 20KB–300KB range when the current notification calls for it. Always follow the specific UPSC exam notice: file size, minimum dimensions, signature rules and accepted formats may differ.
Official notice: There is no single specification covering every UPSC examination and year. This tool provides editable starting settings, not official validation or a guarantee of application acceptance. Check the current UPSC notification and portal for exact requirements.

The 20KB–300KB range and 350 × 350 starting dimensions are editable preparation defaults requested for this page, not a statement that all listed examinations currently require those values. Background and image-capture guidance must also be checked in the relevant official notification.
Three steps to prepare a UPSC image
- Read the current exam notification and identify separate photo and signature requirements.
- Load the image into ImgCon and adjust the preset target, dimensions, crop and format to match those rules.
- Download and inspect the file, checking file size, dimensions and legibility before application upload.
Frequently asked questions
Why might the UPSC portal reject my photo or signature?
The file may fail a size, dimension, format or image-quality requirement. Check the current exam notification and the portal's error message.
How do I resize a photo to at least 350 × 350 pixels?
The UPSC preset starts with a 350 × 350 output. Use the crop and resize controls to meet the current notice; verify the exported dimensions after download.
Can I compress my signature under 20KB?
Choose the signature image and set a custom target that meets the current notification. Make sure the final signature remains legible.
Are my documents uploaded?
No. ImgCon processes the selected image on your device in the browser; it is not sent to an ImgCon image-processing server.
