Group 1 (Combined Civil Services-I) Photo Resizer
Exact Size for 2026 Form
Upload any portrait and instantly resize to the strict 20KB–50KB Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission requirements. 100% private — nothing leaves your device.
Why format your photo for Group 1 (Combined Civil Services-I)?
The Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission (TNPSC) strictly mandates that all uploaded photographs must be between 20KB and 50KB for the 2026 Group 1 (Combined Civil Services-I) application. Furthermore, the portal will reject your application if the image does not have a white background or fails to meet the exact 130x170 pixel dimensions. Our free TNPSC photo resizer uses secure client-side compression to guarantee your file meets these exact specifications without compromising facial clarity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this photo resizer tool officially provided by TNPSC?
No. FreeApplyTools is an independent utility platform. However, the engine is hardcoded to strictly follow the official TNPSC notification rules for 2026.
What happens if my photo is larger than 50KB?
The official TNPSC portal will block your upload and throw an error. This tool prevents that by automatically capping the output size to within 20KB–50KB.
What photo format does TNPSC 2026 accept?
Most government portals accept only JPEG/JPG format. Our tool automatically converts and compresses your photo to the correct format.
Common Group 1 (Combined Civil Services-I) Photo Upload Errors
"File size exceeds 50KB"
The TNPSC portal rejects photos above 50KB. Our tool automatically caps the output to stay within 20–50KB.
"Invalid image dimensions"
Photos must be exactly 130×170px. Our resizer auto-crops to the exact pixel spec.
"Photo rejected — wrong background"
TNPSC requires a white background. Selfies or photos taken indoors often have grey/dark tones that trigger rejection.
