❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Clear answers to common questions about candidate photo resizing and compression.

What is a government photo resizer?

A government photo resizer is a web tool designed specifically for cyber cafes, CSC operators, and students to quickly crop, dimension, and compress candidate photographs, signatures, and thumb impressions to meet the strict kilobyte and pixel limits required by job and exam recruitment portals.

How do I resize a photo to exactly 20 KB or 50 KB?

Upload your candidate photograph, select your required preset (e.g. SSC or UPSC), or manually enter your target width and height. Select the Target Maximum File Size (e.g. 50 KB). Our engine runs binary search quality optimization on the JPEG stream to deliver the highest possible image quality while strictly keeping the file size below your target.

How can I clean up a scanned signature with dark or grey paper?

Switch to Signature Mode and upload your scanned image. Click Auto Clean Signature. The tool automatically scans the luminance of the ink strokes, washes out grey or yellowish background paper into pure #FFFFFF white, and enhances blue or black ballpoint pen strokes.

Can I set exact pixel dimensions like 200×230 px or 140×60 px?

Yes. Under Custom Dimensions, choose 'Pixels (px)' as your unit, enter your desired width and height, and select your target KB limit. The resulting download will match your exact pixel geometry.

Are my photos uploaded or stored on any server?

No. All processing happens locally in your device's web browser using HTML5 Canvas and JavaScript. No image data or student information is ever sent to Pragati Telecom or any third-party cloud server.

Can I create an A4 or 4×6 photo sheet for printing?

Yes. After cropping your candidate's passport photo, click Create Print Sheet. Choose between A4 and 4×6 inch photo paper, pick how many copies you want (e.g. 8 copies), toggle dashed cutting lines, and download a high-resolution 300 DPI print file or print directly from your browser.

Can I resize thumb impressions?

Yes. The dedicated Thumb Impression mode supports both Left Thumb (LTI) and Right Thumb (RTI) presets (typically 150×150 px, max 50 KB), with ink threshold sliders to remove paper noise and enhance ridge clarity.

Can I process multiple candidate photos at once?

Yes. Switch to Batch Mode to queue multiple images. The tool applies the same dimensions and KB target to all files and packages them into an organized ZIP archive with sequential naming.
