If you’ve ever applied for a government exam or an ID document online, you know the frustration: "Image size must be between 20KB and 50KB." You take a high-quality photo from your phone, and it's 5MB. You try to resize it, and it becomes blurry or too small.
Why These Strict Limits Exist?
Government servers handle millions of applications. To save storage space and ensure pages load quickly for everyone (even on slow internet), they enforce strict file size and dimension limits. For most Indian exams (like UPSC, SSC, or Banking), the standard is 20-50KB for photos and 10-20KB for signatures.
The Privacy Concern
Most online "image compressors" require you to upload your sensitive documents (like your photo and signature) to their servers. This is a massive privacy risk. You should always use tools that process your images locally in your browser.
