Total Privacy — We Don't Save It Anywhere (0 Uploads Policy)
Your photo is never uploaded in the first place. The entire compression process — decoding, analyzing, re-encoding, checking the file size — happens locally, inside your own browser, on your own device. There's no upload step to intercept, no server log to worry about, no brief window where your file exists somewhere outside your control. We don't delete your file afterward because we never received it to begin with. If you want to verify this yourself, turn off your WiFi right after this page finishes loading — the tool will still work perfectly, because it never needed an internet connection to compress your photo.

Why TNPSC Photo Compliance Matters
Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission (TNPSC) runs some of the most competitive state-level exams in India — Group 1, Group 2, Group 4, VAO, and dozens of departmental recruitment drives. Every year, lakhs of candidates apply through the One Time Registration (OTR) portal, and the system is strict about photo specifications. Your photograph must be exactly 275×354 pixels, between 20KB and 50KB, and in JPG format. Anything outside these limits gets rejected at the upload step — no manual review, no second chance during the registration window.
Most applicants don't realize their photo is the wrong size until the portal throws an error, and by then they're scrambling to find a tool that works. This TNPSC photo compressor handles the file size and dimension part instantly — just upload, and download a file that fits the requirement.
What TNPSC Expects in Your Photo
Dimensions: 275 × 354 Pixels
TNPSC requires your photo to be exactly 275 pixels wide and 354 pixels tall. This tool resizes your photo to these precise dimensions automatically — no manual cropping needed.
File Size: 20 KB to 50 KB
Your photo must fall between 20KB and 50KB. The OTR portal won't accept anything smaller or larger. Set your target size in this tool and it compresses precisely to that range.
Format: JPEG / JPG Only
TNPSC's portal only accepts JPEG/JPG files. If you have a PNG, HEIC, or any other format, this tool converts it to JPG automatically during compression.
Name and Date Printed on Photo
TNPSC requires your name and the date the photo was taken to be printed on the photograph itself. This tool handles compression and resizing — you'll need to add the text overlay before or after using this tool.
