Official Guidelines for 40KB Photo & Signature Uploads
Most state recruitment commissions (such as UPSSSC, UPPSC, BPSC, and Railway RRB) employ automated validation scripts that reject uploaded application images exceeding the specified file size limit. Compressing your photograph or signature to strictly under or equal to 40 KB guarantees successful submission on the first attempt.

FAQs
How do I compress an image to exactly 40KB online?
Simply upload or drop your photo into the tool above. The target limit is automatically set to 40KB. SizeSnap uses smart client-side binary search algorithms to reduce file size to exactly 40KB or just under 40KB in milliseconds without uploading to any server.
Which exams and government portals require photos or signatures under 40KB?
Key portals include UPSSSC (PET, Lekhpal, VDO), Railway RRB (NTPC, Group D, ALP signature 10KB–40KB), Staff Selection Commission (SSC documents), State Police recruitments (UP Police, Delhi Police), and university entrance forms where strict 40KB file limits are enforced.
