Exam Photo & Signature Compressor
Every Indian exam application asks for a photo and signature within a specific file size limit. Find your exam below, or use the general compressor if it isn't listed.
Individual exam pages
Exam categories
Exams within the same category tend to follow similar upload rules. If your exact exam isn't listed individually above, find its category here and use the general exam compressor with the KB target from your own notification.
SSC
Staff Selection Commission exams (CGL, CHSL, MTS, GD Constable, Stenographer, JE, and others) generally follow similar photo and signature upload rules across notifications, though exact KB ranges can shift by exam and year. Check the specific SSC notification you're applying under for the current numbers.
UPSC & Central Government
UPSC exams (Civil Services, CDS, NDA, CAPF, Engineering Services) and other central government recruitment portals typically ask for a photo and signature with defined minimum and maximum sizes. Always confirm against the current notification before uploading.
Railway
Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) exams across NTPC, Group D, ALP, and JE roles are managed by zonal boards but generally share similar upload requirements. Check your specific Centralized Employment Notice for exact figures.
Banking
Bank recruitment exams (SBI, IBPS across PO/Clerk/SO, RBI) commonly require both a minimum and maximum file size for photo and signature — a stricter rule than many other categories. Confirm against the specific bank's current notification.
Entrance Exam
National-level entrance exams conducted by NTA (JEE Main, NEET UG, CUET UG) and similar bodies have their own bulletin-specific photo, signature, and sometimes thumb-impression rules that can change between sessions and years.
Teaching
Teaching eligibility tests — the central CTET and various State TETs (UPTET, REET, and others) — each have their own application portal and photo/signature rules, run separately from one another.
Defence
Defence recruitment — Agniveer across Army, Navy, and Air Force, plus UPSC-run CDS and NDA — spans several separate application systems, each with its own notification and upload rules.
State Exam
State Public Service Commission exams and state-level recruitment boards each run independent application portals with their own size and format rules, distinct from central government exams.
FAQ
Why do exam photo and signature size limits vary so much?
Each exam authority runs its own application portal with its own technical rules — there's no single national standard, so limits differ by exam, and sometimes by year for the same exam.
Is ToolerWork affiliated with any of these exam bodies?
No. ToolerWork is an independent tool and isn't affiliated with UPSC, SSC, IBPS, SBI, NTA, or any other examination authority. Always confirm current requirements on the official portal.
My exam isn't listed here — can I still use this tool?
Yes — use the general exam photo compressor or exam signature compressor page and enter the exact KB target your form specifies.
About this tool
Compress Exams
Compress image files by adjusting quality and dimensions while keeping visual clarity practical. This page focuses on the Exams variant.
When you need to upload photos to forms, marketplaces, or social platforms, large image files create delays, upload failures, and slower page loads. Most people try one-click compressors that either overshrink quality or do not hit practical size targets. This page is tuned for the exact problem: reduce image size without losing quality beyond acceptable limits for real use. You can upload JPG, PNG, or WebP, set a target like 50KB, 100KB, or 200KB, and generate a smaller output with a clean preview-first workflow. The tool balances quality and dimensions intelligently so you can keep text, product edges, and visual details readable while still meeting portal constraints. It is useful for e-commerce sellers, students, marketers, and office teams who handle repeated image submissions daily. Instead of manually exporting from heavy editors, you can complete compression in a few clicks, compare original vs output size, and download immediately. The process is no-signup, browser-based, and optimized for quick execution on both desktop and mobile screens. Compress Exams helps users finish image tasks with less friction and better consistency.

When to choose this tool
Compress Image is best when the main goal is reducing file size while keeping the current visual dimensions mostly practical. Resize Image is better when you must hit a specific pixel size or exact KB target for a form, profile, or exam portal. In short, compression focuses on size efficiency first, while resizing focuses on meeting strict upload requirements. Many users start with compression for general uploads and switch to resize only when a portal rejects the file because of exact size rules.
