TNPSC Photo and Signature Compressor, Resizer and Converter with Name Date on Photo

What is TNPSC Photo and Signature Compressor, Resizer and Converter with Name Date on Photo?

TNPSC Photo and Signature Compressor, Resizer and Converter with Name Date on Photo is a free browser tool that prepares your photograph, your signature, and the document images for a TNPSC application in the size, format, and file weight the notification asks for. Nothing is installed, no account is needed, and the exam specification is already loaded, so a rejected file is never about a guessed size again.

The workflow runs in six steps: Exam, Type, Upload, Crop, Caption, and Download. After processing you get a before and after comparison, a three column specification table, an overall pass or fail summary, and the download button.

TNPSC photo and signature requirements used by this tool

These are the size presets stored for TNPSC. They come from the exam specification database and are applied exactly as listed, so nothing is rounded, converted, or quietly changed.

What can this TNPSC photo and signature tool do?

• Six-step guided workflow: Exam, Type, Upload, Crop, Caption, and Download. Each step shows only what you need next.
• Exam already preselected: TNPSC loads with its own presets, so you do not scroll through a list of 152 exams to find yours.
• Preset coverage: 8 photo presets, 9 signature presets, and 1 document preset such as a thumb impression.
• Crop tools: zoom, rotate, flip, drag inside the frame, and a face mask guide so the head lands in the right proportion.
• Exact resize with unit support: pixel, centimetre, and inch presets, so a 3.5 x 4.5 cm photo and a 200 x 230 px photo are both one click away.
• Format conversion: output in the format the exam asks for, with the extension normalised so the portal accepts the file.
• Smart compression: the file is compressed until it fits the maximum file size, and the optional minimum size is used when a notification states a lower bound.
• Before and after comparison: your original dimensions, file size, and format are shown next to the produced output.
• Three column specification check: a table lists your image, the TNPSC requirement, and the output result, closed by an overall pass or fail summary.
• File name helper: when the exam defines a file name pattern, the tool builds the name from your first and last name and shows a live preview you can copy.
• Caption step: this exam is marked as requiring a name and date on the image, so the caption step carries a Name and Date required badge and you should fill it in.
• Manual override fields: width, height, unit, format, maximum output size, and an optional minimum size, for notifications that quote a value not yet listed.
• Works on every device: Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS, in the browser, with nothing to install.

How to use TNPSC Photo and Signature Compressor, Resizer and Converter with Name Date on Photo step by step

1. Open the tool and check the exam shown in the first step, TNPSC. If your notification names a different or newer exam, search for it in the exam search box.
2. Click Continue and choose what you are submitting: Photo, Signature, or Document.
3. Pick the size preset that matches your notification. When several options exist, choose the one named for your exam rather than a generic one.
4. If your value is not listed, type your own Width, Height, Unit, Format, Maximum output size, and optional Minimum size.
5. Upload your photo or signature. A clear, front-facing original gives a far better result than an old or heavily filtered scan.
6. In the crop step, zoom, rotate, or flip if needed, drag the image until the face or the signature sits correctly, and switch on the face mask guide when it helps.
7. Use the caption step, because this exam requires the name and date to be printed on the photo. Type them exactly as in your official record.
8. Check the comparison table and the overall pass or fail summary. Fix the image if any row is marked as not matching.
9. Download the processed image and upload it in your application. If the exam defines a file name pattern, copy the suggested name.

How to get an accepted photo the first time

• Use a recent colour photograph taken within the last few months. Old group photos and screenshots are the most common rejection reason.
• Face the camera straight on, keep both eyes open, and keep the whole face inside the frame with some space above the head.
• Use a plain light background. Remove busy backgrounds, other people, and objects near the head.
• Do not wear a hat, cap, sunglasses, or heavy jewellery, and do not use filters or beauty modes.
• Keep a neutral expression and avoid a tilted head.
• For a signature, write on plain white paper, sign inside the frame, and keep the ink dark enough to survive compression.
• Crop with the guide on. Fixing a crop is far easier than redoing an application form.
• Download the processed file and confirm it opens correctly on your phone before you upload it.

Troubleshooting: why a photo is still rejected

• Wrong preset selected. When an exam publishes several sizes, pick the preset that names your exam, then confirm the numbers in the comparison table.
• File still too heavy after compression. Keep the required format, usually JPEG, and avoid a caption or heavy editing that adds weight.
• File too light. Enter the lower bound in the optional minimum size field so the tool stops compressing too far.
• Background not plain enough. Crop tighter so a plain wall fills the frame behind the head.
• Face too small or too large. Turn on the face mask guide and adjust the zoom until the head fills the guide.
• Old or blurred source image. No resizing tool can restore missing detail, so take a new photo with a phone camera.
• Wrong file name. If the exam defines a pattern, use the generated name from the file name card.
• Edited original. Filters and background removal can look unnatural to reviewers, so start from an unedited photo.

Privacy and limits

• The image is processed for your request so the tool can show the comparison and the download. No gallery of your photos is kept and no account is required.
• The specification values shown here are the values stored for TNPSC in the tool. If an official corrigendum changes a size, the tool value and this page must both be updated, and the official notification always wins over the tool.
• The tool resizes and compresses. It cannot improve a badly lit, blurred, or old photo.
• A JPEG cannot be restored to true photo quality after heavy compression onto a very small target size.
• Always verify the final file against the latest official notification before you submit the form.

TNPSC Group 4 2026 photo and signature requirements

TNPSC Notification No. 11/2026 (Advertisement No. 747) dated 6 October 2026 fixes the Group IV uploads below. Source: CCSE Group IV English 2026 notification (PDF). Both values are now available as presets in this tool: TNPSC Group 4 2026 Photo (130*170px-200DPI) and TNPSC Group 4 2026 Signature (230*75px-200DPI).

The photograph must be a colour studio photograph on a white background with both ears and part of the neck visible, and your name and the date of the photograph printed in the bottom 1.5 cm of the image. The notification asks for a photograph taken on or after 6 October 2026.

Portal note about the signature: the live TNPSC application portal at apply.tnpscexams.in has been reported to enforce its own signature limits, a minimum of 300 x 100 px and a maximum of 450 x 200 px, with 400 x 133 px accepted while keeping 6 x 2 cm and 10 KB to 20 KB. Those figures differ from the 230 x 75 px printed in the notification. The notification is the authority for the requirement; if the portal refuses a 230 x 75 px file, switch to the manual Width and Height fields and produce 400 x 133 px, keeping the 6 x 2 cm and 10 KB to 20 KB limits.

The notification names the uploads Photograph.jpg and Signature.jpg, and the file name helper in this tool now produces exactly those names for the TNPSC 2026 presets. The photo and signature hints in the tool repeat the notification rules: a studio photograph on white background with both ears and part of the neck visible, the name and the date of photography printed in the bottom 1.5 cm (55 px), taken on or after 6 October 2026; and a signature written inside a drawn 6 x 2 cm (230 x 75 px) box in blue or black ink, scanned at 200 DPI and cropped to the box.
