Indian government portals like UIDAI (Aadhaar), passport applications, state public service commissions, and recruitment boards have notoriously rigid file submission constraints.
A common issue applicants face is having their files rejected because they exceed 100KB or 50KB, or have incorrect pixel dimensions. In this guide, we will look at how to quickly adjust your PNG files using our local browser tool to guarantee standard compatibility and prevent delay in your application processing.
Standard File Upload Constraints on Indian Portals
Most government sites require specific file parameters:
- Aadhaar Proofs (UIDAI): Typically PDF, JPEG, or PNG. Maximum size: 2MB, but often restricted to 1MB or 200KB for faster processing.
- Passport Seva Online: Photograph and Signature files must be between 10KB and 50KB.
- SSC/State PSC Exams: Photos must be under 50KB, signatures under 20KB.
Step-by-Step Sizing Guide
Follow these steps to format your file perfectly:
- Scan or photograph your document: Ensure adequate lighting and align the camera straight.
- Crop unnecessary edges: Remove background margins around signatures or ID cards using a basic editor.
- Open CompressPNG.in: Drag and drop your file into the compressor.
- Set Target KB: If you are applying for passport portals, choose the **To 50KB** or **To 20KB** preset. Our tool will automatically calculate the best quantization settings.
