Frequently Asked Questions
Why do government portals reject photos and signatures in PDF format?
Portals like SSC, IBPS, UPSC, and NTA use automated facial recognition and biometric matching algorithms that specifically require raster JPG / JPEG image formats. Uploading a PDF for a photograph or signature will cause immediate form rejection. Use this tool for JPG photos/signatures, and use our PDF compressor for certificates and marksheets.
What are the official SSC photo and signature specifications?
For SSC notifications (CGL, CHSL, MTS, GD): The photograph must be in JPG/JPEG format between 20 KB and 50 KB with dimensions of about 3.5 cm (width) × 4.5 cm (height). The signature must be in black ink on white paper, in JPG format between 10 KB and 20 KB with dimensions of 4.0 cm × 2.0 cm.
What are the IBPS Banking photo and signature requirements?
IBPS (SBI, PO, Clerk, RRB) strictly mandates: Photograph 20–50 KB with exact pixel dimensions 200 × 230 px. Signature 10–20 KB with exact dimensions 140 × 60 px. Left Thumb Impression (LTI) 20–50 KB, and Handwritten Declaration 50–100 KB in JPG format.
Does this tool upload my photograph to any server?
No. All image resizing, dimension scaling, and JPEG compression happen 100% locally inside your browser using HTML5 Canvas technology. Your photos and personal signatures never touch any remote server or third party.
What should I do if I need to compress a PDF certificate under 50KB?
If you have an educational certificate, caste document, or mark sheet in PDF format that needs to be under 50KB, use our dedicated Compress PDF to 50KB tool instead. This tool is strictly designed for JPG/PNG image files.
