TNPSC photo requirements

TNPSC (Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission) publishes photo specifications with each recruitment notification. Common requirements include:

  • Format: JPEG/JPG
  • Background: White
  • File size: As per notification (typically within 20KB–200KB range)
  • Expression: Neutral, facing camera

How to prepare your TNPSC Group 1 photo

Use PhotoResizer.in to resize your photo to the exact TNPSC specifications. The tool handles both pixel dimensions and KB file size targeting. For signature resizing, use the Signature Resizer.

Technical Verification & Standards Compliance for Digital Submissions

When uploading photographs, signatures, or official records to government portals, visa processing systems, or recruitment boards, strict automated validation scripts evaluate both visual clarity and physical file parameters. Minor errors—such as non-standard aspect ratios, improper pixel dimensions, high compression artifacts, or unstripped EXIF headers—frequently trigger instant system rejections.

Image Dimension & Aspect Ratio Math

Official forms specify exact physical measurements (e.g., 3.5cm × 4.5cm) or pixel boundaries (e.g., 350×450px). Converting physical units into digital resolution requires applying exact DPI scales: Pixels = (Millimeters / 25.4) × DPI.

Local WebBrowser Compression Engine

PhotoResizer.in uses client-side HTML5 Canvas and WebAssembly algorithms to compress image streams down to specific KB limits (10KB, 20KB, 50KB, 100KB, 200KB) entirely inside your web browser. Visual data never leaves your device.
