Image Resizer PCWhat size UPSC wants for photo and signature
For the UPSC Civil Services registration you upload two separate files: a recent photo and your signature. The photo must land between 20 KB and 200 KB, and the signature between 20 KB and 100 KB. Both are usually asked for as JPG.
That's a generous range, which is good news — you don't have to crush the image to almost nothing. Always glance at your exam notification or the One Time Registration page for the exact wording, since UPSC occasionally tweaks the limits between cycles. If a number differs from what you see here, follow your portal's exact requirement.
- Photo: 20–200 KB, JPG, clear and recent.
- Signature: 20–100 KB, JPG, signed on white paper with a dark pen.
- Upload the two as separate files — don't combine them.
How to hit the exact KB without a blurry UPSC photo
Because UPSC allows up to 200 KB for the photo, aim near the top of the range rather than the bottom — more KB means a sharper face. Type something like 190 and let the app settle just under it. You get a clear photo and still pass the size check.
The signature is simpler: scan or shoot it in good light, crop tightly around the strokes so there's no big white border, then target a KB value in the 20–100 band. The app runs a quality search for you and, if a file is still too heavy, gently reduces the pixel dimensions until it fits — so you never have to guess a quality slider.
Why resize UPSC photos offline instead of an upload site
Your photo and signature are personal documents. Image Resizer PC does everything on your own Windows machine — no upload, no account, no watermark, no ads. That's the real difference from the web tools that rank for these searches: they send your files to a server you don't control and handle one image at a time.
Here it's unlimited and local. Drop your photo and signature together, set each one's KB target, and export both in seconds.
