Complete Guide to TNPSC Photo & Signature Upload (2026)
Applying for TNPSC examinations like Group 1, Group 2, Group 2A, or Group 4 requires strict adherence to digital image standards. The Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission rejects thousands of applications annually due to incorrect photo dimensions, blurry signatures, or missing date annotations. This tool is designed to solve these specific problems instantly and securely.
1 Passport Photo Guidelines
- Recent Color Photo: The photograph must be taken within the last 6 months. Old photos where your appearance has changed significantly may lead to disqualification during verification.
- Background: Use a plain white or off-white background. Avoid dark, patterned, or shadowed backgrounds.
- Lighting: Ensure even lighting on your face. Avoid shadows on the eyes or background. Flash reflections on spectacles are a common reason for rejection.
- Expression: Maintain a neutral expression. Look directly at the camera. Both ears should be visible.
- Attire: Formal or casual wear is acceptable. Avoid wearing hats, caps, or dark glasses (unless for medical reasons).
- The "Name & Date" Rule: TNPSC specifically requires the applicant's name and the date of photography to be printed at the bottom of the image. Our tool handles this automatically.
2 Signature Guidelines
- Ink Color: strict use of Blue or Black ink only. Red, Green, or other colors are not accepted.
- Paper: Sign on a clean, plain white paper. Do not use ruled or textured paper.
- Size: The signature must not be too small. Sign in an area of approx 6cm x 2cm before scanning to ensure clarity when resized to 125x80px.
- Clarity: The digital image must be clear. Blurry, pixelated, or faint signatures will be rejected.
- No Capital Letters: Do not sign in all capital letters; this is not considered a valid signature.
100% Secure & Client-Side: How It Works
Most online resizers upload your personal photos to a remote server to process them. This creates a privacy risk. Safe Web Utils is different.
- ✔ No Server Uploads: Your images are processed locally in your browser using JavaScript. They never leave your computer or phone.
- ✔ Instant Processing: Since there is no upload/download lag, resizing happens in milliseconds.
- ✔ Data Privacy: We do not store, view, or sell your data. Once you close this tab, the data is gone forever.
Why Applications Get Rejected?
Uploading a 200px wide image when 125px is required causes distortion or cropping by the official server.
Forgetting to add the Name and Date strip at the bottom of the photo is the #1 mistake candidates make.
Reducing file size below 20KB manually often makes the face or signature unreadable.
How to Use This Tool Properly
Step 1: Take a High-Quality Source Image.
Use your mobile phone's main camera (not selfie camera) in daylight. Stand 1 meter away from a white wall.
Step 2: Upload to Tool.
Select the file in the "Photo" section. The tool will immediately show you a preview.
Step 3: Enable Annotation.
Check "Add Name & Date". Enter your name as initials (e.g., "S. KUMAR") if it's long. Select the date the photo was taken (today or recent).
Step 4: Verify and Download.
Look at the "Size" indicator. It should be green (30-40KB). Click download. The file is renamed to tnpsc_photo.jpg automatically for your convenience.
Upload Image
Select your passport photo or scanned signature. High resolution is better.
Auto-Process
The tool automatically resizes to 3.5x4.5cm (Photo) and compresses to under 50KB.
Download
Save the optimized JPG file and upload it directly to the TNPSC portal.
