How it works
Exam-ready photo and signature in three steps. No editing skills, no software, no upload.
1
Pick your exam
Choose from 129 presets. 35 have been checked against the official notification; every other page says it has not. Pixels, KB band and DPI load with the preset. Not listed? Type your own numbers.
2
Upload and adjust
Drag to position your face, pinch or scroll to zoom. Signatures get one-slider background clean-up. Add your name and the date if the board wants them printed on the photo.
3
Check and download
You get exact dimensions, a file inside the KB band, correct DPI — and a pre-flight report on blur, background and face position before you upload anything.
Guides
We read the notifications. The exam photo size charts disagree.
The exams where published photo and signature specs contradict each other, what the official notifications actually say, and why neither SSC nor NTA publishes the pixel dimensions everyone quotes.

Questions
What photo size is required for UPSC CAPF?
The CAPF (ACs) Examination 2026 notice, Appendix II, states file sizes only: a JPG photograph of 20–200 KB and a JPG signature of 20–100 KB. It prints no pixel size. 350 × 350 is a crop this page keeps so the editor has a frame, not a figure in the notice. Sign three times, one below the other, in black ink on plain white paper. The portal also captures a live photograph.
My file is smaller than 20 KB. Will it be rejected?
Yes. 20 KB is a floor, not a suggestion, and portals reject files under it exactly as they reject oversized ones. This tool lifts an undersized file over the floor by appending blank JPEG comment data, which decoders ignore. The picture itself is untouched — some tools inject random noise into the image instead, which visibly degrades it.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. The resizing runs inside your browser using the standard canvas API. Nothing is sent to a server, there is no account, and the page keeps working offline once loaded.
Can I set the DPI?
Yes, and it defaults to 200 DPI here. Browsers write 96 DPI into canvas JPEGs, and some portals read that field and reject the file even when the pixel dimensions are correct. The value is written into the JFIF header of the file you download.
Why do other sites list a different size for UPSC CAPF?
Resolved against the CAPF (ACs) Examination 2026 notice, Appendix II (page 15). The photograph must be JPG, not less than 20 KB and not more than 200 KB. The signature must be JPG, not less than 20 KB and not more than 100 KB. The notice prints no pixel size. The 300 KB ceilings this preset used to allow would be rejected. 350 × 350 is a crop the editor keeps, not a figure in the notice. We would rather show you the disagreement than pick one and sound certain.
