Frequently Asked Questions

Common guidelines for resizing candidate photographs and signatures for government exam portals.

Why do portals like UPSC, SSC, and GATE reject uploaded photos?

Government application portals enforce strict pixel dimensions, aspect ratios, and file size boundaries (often between 20 KB and 50 KB). Uploading a raw smartphone photo or a file saved as PNG/WEBP instead of standard JPEG triggers automatic validation errors.

Are my photos and signatures uploaded to a server?

No. ExamPicFix processes all cropping, dimension scaling, and KB compression locally inside your browser using HTML5 Canvas. Your personal documents never leave your device.

What happens if my compressed photo falls below the 20 KB minimum limit?

Portals like SSC and IBPS reject files smaller than 20 KB. ExamPicFix automatically optimizes JPEG quality and pads file metadata so your output stays safely inside the required KB window without losing facial clarity.

How should I scan my signature for best portal acceptance?

Sign on plain unruled white paper using a black or dark blue ballpoint pen. Crop tightly around the signature, avoid shadows, and select the Signature mode preset to match your target exam's exact pixel box.
