Resizes every certificate scan into TGPSC's 40 KB to 500 KB band at once. The floor is the one that catches people out — a clean document scan compresses well under it.

TGPSC's wording: “Upload files in JPG or JPEG or PNG format with size between 40KB to 500KB.”
Everyone expects to have to shrink a document scan. Almost nobody expects to have to grow one. But a certificate is white paper with black text on it, and that is the single most compressible thing you can photograph — large flat areas, hard edges, no gradients. A phone shot cropped to the page and saved at a sensible quality routinely lands somewhere between 15 and 35 KB.
Under TGPSC's 40 KB floor, that file is rejected, and the error message will not tell you the file was too small. So this tool works the band from both directions. Over 500 KB it compresses. Under 40 KB it first raises the JPEG quality at your scan's own resolution, which recovers detail that over-compression threw away — and that alone clears the floor for most scans, because the usual cause is a phone camera app saving at an aggressive quality setting rather than a genuinely small original.
If quality alone is not enough, it then increases the pixel dimensions, up to twice your scan's own resolution, and tells you it did. Beyond that we stop. A certificate photographed at very low resolution cannot be turned into a 40 KB file that is still legible, and a blurred upsample that satisfies the validator is worse than useless — it passes the upload and then fails at certificate verification, where the original is checked against what you submitted. In that case the tool says the scan is too small and you should rescan at a higher resolution, which is the only real fix.
What it will not do is pad the file with junk bytes to hit the number. That produces a larger file that is not one pixel more readable.
The TGPSC certificates tab is long. Community, differently abled, ex-service, NCC instructor, employee service, sports and non-creamy layer certificates; a bonafide or residence certificate for each class from 1st to 7th, separately; then SSC/10th, 10+2/Intermediate and Graduation. Depending on your category that is anywhere from three to fifteen files, and every one of them has to sit in the same 40–500 KB band. Drop them all in at once; each is resized independently and named after your original.
This is worth reading twice before you submit. TGPSC states that once a certificate is uploaded, it is non-editable, and that only the EWS certificate and the Non-Creamy Layer certificate can be re-uploaded, by candidates belonging to those categories. The photograph and the signature are the other exception and can be replaced at any time. Everything else — and the OTR details generally — is correctable only within 24 hours of your first submission, after which the details submitted are treated as final.
The practical consequence: check that each scan is the right document, right way up and legible before you upload it, not after. A file that is technically in the band but shows a cropped-off corner of your community certificate is not something you get to fix next week.
If you are claiming sports reservation and have more than one certificate, TGPSC asks for something different: scan them, merge them into a single PDF, and keep that PDF under 2 MB. That is a different job from this page — use JPG to PDF to build the PDF and Compress PDF if it lands over the limit.
Telangana changed its official abbreviation from TS to TG in 2024, and the Telangana State Public Service Commission became the Telangana Public Service Commission. Both tspsc.gov.in and tgpsc.gov.in reach it and the helpdesk address is now helpdesk@tgpsc.gov.in. If your search results, your coaching notes and your OTR login page disagree about the name, that is why — nothing about the specification changed with it.
One caution: the registration portal is otr.tgpsc.gov.in, a government domain. Sites on lookalike names are not the commission, whatever they publish. Check where you are before typing an Aadhaar number into anything.
Same application, different file. Each has its own limits — they are not interchangeable.
Between 40 KB and 500 KB, in JPG, JPEG or PNG format. TGPSC's certificate note reads: upload files in JPG or JPEG or PNG format with size between 40KB to 500KB. No dimension and no DPI are stated for certificates.
Because a certificate is mostly white paper and black text, which is the easiest thing in the world for JPEG to compress. A phone photo cropped to the document and saved at moderate quality routinely lands at 20 or 30 KB. That is under TGPSC's floor and the portal will reject it - so this tool raises the pixel dimensions until the file clears 40 KB, which adds genuine detail rather than padding.
It can be many. The certificates tab has slots for the community certificate, differently abled, ex-service person, NCC instructor, employee service, sports and non-creamy layer certificates; a bonafide or residence certificate for each class from 1st through 7th individually; and the SSC/10th, 10+2/Intermediate and Graduation certificates. That is up to fifteen separate images, each of which has to sit in the same band. This tool takes them all at once.
Not for these slots. TGPSC names JPG, JPEG and PNG for certificate uploads. The one place a PDF is asked for is sports: if you have multiple sports certificates, TGPSC says to scan and merge them into a single PDF of no more than 2 MB. Our merge and compress tools handle that case.
Mostly no. TGPSC states that once a certificate is uploaded it is non-editable, and that only the EWS certificate and the Non-Creamy Layer certificate can be re-uploaded, by candidates in those categories. The photograph and signature can be re-uploaded at any time. Everything else in the OTR is only correctable within 24 hours of first submission.
No. Every file is read, resized and re-encoded in your browser on your own device. Nothing is transmitted, which matters more here than on most pages - these are caste certificates, disability certificates and service records.
Yes. TSPSC became TGPSC when Telangana changed its state abbreviation from TS to TG in 2024. Same commission, same certificate specification.
No. The note on the Certificates Upload tab states that uploading certificates is mandatory. It also states that original certificates must still be produced at the time of certificate verification.
No. The tab states plainly that its details are not auto-saved until you submit the form. Losing the tab before submitting loses the uploads.
Only the EWS certificate and the Non-Creamy Layer certificate, and only if you belong to those categories. Every other certificate is non-editable once uploaded. The photograph and signature are the exception — those can be re-uploaded at any time.
No. The commission uses tgpsc.gov.in, with the registration portal at otr.tgpsc.gov.in. The tgpsc.in site is third-party.
Requirements on this page are quoted from the TGPSC New Registration (OTR) user manual published by the Telangana Public Service Commission at tgpsc.gov.in. TGPSC states a format, centimetres and a size band with both a minimum and a maximum; it states no pixel size, no DPI and no ink colour.
That manual carries no version number or date, and it governs the One Time Registration only — a Group I, II or III notification may restate these figures for that recruitment, so check the notification you are applying under. TGPSC was formerly TSPSC; both tgpsc.gov.in and tspsc.gov.in reach the same commission. It is a different commission from APPSC (psc.ap.gov.in), whose specification differs. We are not affiliated with either.
