How to Compress Images for Government Forms (SSC, UPSC)

Are you trying to upload a photo for an online application but facing the error "File size must be between 20kb and 50kb"? You are not alone. Most government portals in India, including SSC, UPSC, and IBPS, have strict size limits for uploading signatures and photographs.

The PDF Mechanic Image Compressor helps you resize your photos instantly without uploading them to a risky server. Since the processing happens Client-Side (in your browser), your personal photos never leave your mobile or laptop.

Why use this Client-Side Image Tool?
