Four things can be verified mechanically, and this tool verifies all four:
.jpg does not convert it, and the portal will notice.What it cannot judge is anything requiring a human eye: whether your face fills three quarters of the photograph, whether your signature scan really contains three signatures, whether a certificate is legible after compression. A green tick here means nothing measurable is wrong, not that your application is safe.

Some rows are tied to a specific examination profile in UPSC's table, so check the instructions for the exam you are applying to.
Almost every compression tool treats the size limit as a ceiling and squeezes as far below it as it can. UPSC sets a floor as well — 50KB for PDFs, 20KB for images — so a heavily compressed certificate or a clean high-contrast signature scan can be rejected for being too small. Our document tool and signature tool target the range rather than the ceiling.
UPSC states that a document will not be uploaded if any file name, format or size other than the specified one is used. Your caste certificate must be called caste_certificate. Most PDF tools rename your file as they work, appending something like -compressed or -300kb, and that renamed file is refused without a useful explanation.
If the checker finds a problem, these fix it: certificates as PDFs in the 50KB–300KB range with the right name, the photograph cropped for face coverage, the triple signature at 350–500 pixels, and the photo ID as a JPG. Every upload in the table above now has a tool.
Same application, different file. Each has its own limits — they are not interchangeable.
It reads each file on your device and checks four things against UPSC's published specification: the real file format, the file size against both the minimum and maximum, the pixel dimensions where UPSC specifies them, and whether the filename matches exactly.
UPSC's instructions state that a document will not be uploaded if any file name, format or size other than the specified one is used. Each document has an exact required name, and most PDF tools quietly rename your file by adding something like -compressed to the end.
Yes, and this is the check most tools miss. PDFs must be at least 50KB and images at least 20KB. An over-compressed file is rejected exactly like an oversized one.
The checker reads the actual bytes rather than trusting the extension. Renaming a PNG or HEIC file to .jpg does not convert it, and the portal will reject it. Convert it properly instead.
No. Every check runs inside your browser on your own device. Nothing is transmitted, which matters because these files carry your name, photograph and identity numbers.
No. It confirms the things that can be measured mechanically. It cannot judge whether your face fills 75 percent of the photo, whether your signature scan contains exactly three signatures, or whether a certificate is legible. Check those by eye against UPSC's instructions.
