Which exams and forms want a 50 KB image
50 KB is a favourite cap for Indian government-exam photos. It's tight enough to upload quickly but still leaves room for a clear face photo. Signatures almost always have a much smaller limit, so check each field separately before you start.
- SSC (CGL/CHSL/MTS/GD): photo 20–50 KB, signature 10–20 KB, photo 3.5×4.5 cm (~200×230 px), JPG.
- IBPS (PO/Clerk/RRB/SO): photo 20–50 KB (200×230 px), signature 10–20 KB (140×60 px), JPG.
- TNEA: photo 20–50 KB, signature 20–50 KB, JPG/JPEG/PNG.
- For any other portal, check your portal's exact requirement before you upload.
Getting a sharp face photo at 50 KB
50 KB is a reasonable size for a passport-style photo, so a good result is very doable. The app searches for the best quality that still fits 50 KB and, if it has to, nudges the pixel size down a little rather than wrecking the clarity.
- Use JPG — it hits a KB target far better than PNG for photos.
- Match the pixels the exam wants (often ~200×230) instead of a bigger size.
- Start from a clean original, not a screenshot or a re-compressed copy.
- If the face looks soft, crop closer to head and shoulders so detail isn't spent on background.
Photo and signature in one sitting
Most forms want a photo and a signature with different limits — say a 50 KB photo and a 20 KB signature. You can do both here without switching tools: resize the photo to 50 KB, then load the signature and set its own target. The preview shows each file's weight so you upload with confidence.
Everything runs on your PC. Since a signature and a face photo are personal, it matters that they're never sent to a website — here they simply aren't.
