Image Resizer & Compressor for Government Job Forms
Almost every government recruitment portal requires candidates to upload a recent passport-size photograph and signature within a specific file size and dimension limit. Whether you are applying for SSC, Railway, Banking, UPSC, RPSC, Police, Nursing or Teaching jobs, the application form usually rejects images that are too large or do not match the prescribed size.
The free CareerDiksha Jobs Image Resizer & Compressor helps you resize and compress photos and signatures within seconds. Simply upload your image, set the required file size or pixel dimensions, and download a ready-to-upload version that meets the official notification requirements.
This tool is useful for candidates applying for Government Jobs, SSC Recruitment, Railway Jobs, Bank Jobs, UPSC Recruitment, Rajasthan Government Jobs, Police Recruitment, Teaching Jobs and Nursing Officer Recruitment.
Why Do You Need an Image Resizer for Government Applications?
Recruitment boards set strict limits for photographs and signatures. Some forms accept images only up to 50 KB, while others allow up to 100 KB or 200 KB. Many portals also specify exact pixel dimensions such as 200 × 230 or 300 × 300. If your image does not match these conditions, the portal shows an upload error and you cannot proceed further.
Instead of using complicated editing software, this online tool lets you quickly adjust both file size and dimensions so that your photo and signature are accepted without any issues.
Common Image Requirements in Online Forms
| Requirement | Common Values |
|---|---|
| Photograph Size | 20 KB – 200 KB |
| Signature Size | 10 KB – 100 KB |
| Accepted Formats | JPG, JPEG, PNG |
| Photograph Type | Recent colour photo with plain background |
| Signature | Black or blue ink on white paper |
Always check the exact specifications given in the official notification, as limits can differ from one recruitment to another.
Resize Photo to 20 KB, 50 KB, 100 KB or Any Custom Size
Different portals have different file size limits. Some require a photo below 50 KB, while others accept up to 100 KB or 200 KB. With this tool you can compress your image to the exact size needed without installing any software.

Resize Image by Pixel Dimensions

Image Resize vs Image Compression
