Compress Photo for TNPSC Application (< 50 KB)

Applying for Tamil Nadu PSC (TNPSC) exams requires a passport-style photo that meets strict technical specifications, including a 3.5×4.5 cm size and a small file size (often ≤50 KB). Many applicants across Tamil Nadu - including Chennai, Coimbatore, Madurai, Tiruchirappalli and other cities - struggle to resize and compress their images to match these exact TNPSC requirements.
