Questions, answered
UPSC photo and signature resizer FAQs
Which UPSC requirements does this tool use?
This notice required separately scanned .jpg photograph and signature files, each 20–300 KB. It did not prescribe pixel dimensions. UPSC upload rules vary by examination and notice.
Are my photos uploaded to Chase Clarity?
No. The editor uses browser Canvas and File APIs. Your source image and processed image stay on your device; the page does not send image contents to Chase Clarity servers.
Does a green status guarantee my application will be accepted?
No. It only checks the technical dimensions and file-size settings you selected. The application notice, visual quality rules and the authority's portal determine acceptance.
Why can't a PNG always reach a small KB target?
PNG is lossless and Canvas does not provide a quality control for it. For strict small file sizes, a JPG is usually the practical choice when the notice permits it.
