ABOUT THE TOOL
What is TNPSC Photo Compressor?
TNPSC Photo Compressor is a free online photo editor and compressor for Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission (TNPSC) applications. It resizes your photo to 130 × 170 px and 20–50 KB, prints your name and photography date below it, and resizes your TNPSC signature to 230 × 75 px and 10–20 KB.
Crop, zoom and rotate your photo or signature before saving. It works as a simple TNPSC photo editor and TNPSC signature resizer on one page.
Everything runs in your browser, so your images are never uploaded. It is an independent tool and is not affiliated with TNPSC. Always confirm the image rules in the notice for your own application.

Try it now UPLOAD ERRORS
TNPSC photo not uploading? Common fixes
Most rejected uploads come down to one of these six problems.
Photo is larger than 50 KB
Phone and studio files are usually several MB. Prepare the photo here and the JPEG quality is reduced until it fits the limit.
Photo is smaller than 20 KB
Over-compressed files are rejected too. The tool keeps the file above the minimum without stretching the picture.
Incorrect image dimensions
Use the preset for your notice. For other forms, enter the width, height and maximum KB in Custom size.
Name or date is missing
Group IV and Group II / IIA notices ask for the name and photography date on the photograph. Enter both before preparing.
Wrong file format
Renaming a PNG or HEIC to .jpg does not convert it. Every file you download here is a real JPEG.
Signature is over 20 KB
Switch to Signature and prepare a 230 × 75 px JPEG of 10–20 KB with a white background.

Is TNPSC Photo Compressor free?
Yes. It is free to use, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many photos or signatures you prepare.
What size should my TNPSC photo be?
The Group IV and Group II / IIA notices referenced here specify a 130 × 170 px photograph between 20 and 50 KB in JPG format. Check the notice for your own application.
What size should my TNPSC signature be?
The listed presets use 230 × 75 px and 10–20 KB in JPG format. Check the signature section of your notice.
How do I reduce my TNPSC photo to 20–50 KB?
Choose your photo, frame it and select Prepare photo. The tool resizes it to 130 × 170 px and adjusts JPEG quality until the file lands between 20 and 50 KB, then shows the measured size before you download.
How do I resize my TNPSC signature to 10–20 KB?
Switch to Signature, choose your scanned or photographed signature and crop close around it, then select Prepare signature. The tool resizes it to 230 × 75 px, fills any transparent background with white and keeps the JPEG between 10 and 20 KB.
How do I add my name and date to a TNPSC photo?
Select a notice preset, then enter your name and the photography date. They are printed in a white strip across the bottom 55 px of the photograph. If your studio photo already has a name and date, tick the option to keep the original strip.
Can I edit my TNPSC photo here?
Yes. You can crop, zoom and rotate your photo, then add your name and photography date. The tool does not change the background, brightness or your appearance, so start from a studio photo with a white background.
Can I use a photo from my phone?
You can select a studio image saved on your phone. The linked exam notices require a colour studio photograph on a white background and exclude mobile-camera photos and selfies.
Can the tool verify that my photo will be accepted?
It checks pixel dimensions, file size and JPEG format. Check your photo, signature, name and date against the instructions for your own application.
Where do I find the downloaded image?
Look in Downloads or the Files app. If Safari opens an image preview, use Share and then Save to Files.
What happens to my images?
Your original image and the result are processed on your device. The tool does not send either file, your name or your photography date to a server.
