Frequently Asked Questions
Why do exam websites reject photos even when they look clear?
Government portals like SSC, UPSC, and IBPS use automated server-side verification scripts. If a photo is even 51 KB, or if its pixel width is mismatched with the official aspect ratio, the upload system automatically rejects the submission. Our tool adjusts both dimensions and byte size simultaneously to guarantee smooth acceptance.
Should the photo have a white background?
Yes. Almost all competitive exams (SSC, UPSC, Banking, Defence) mandate a clear, light-colored or pure white background with both ears clearly visible. Avoid dark backgrounds, selfies, caps, goggles, or heavy shadows.
Is my photo or signature stored on your servers?
Never. The Jemixo Photo & Signature Resizer is built with an on-device JavaScript engine. Your image is processed entirely within your computer or smartphone's memory. No file is ever transmitted to or stored on Jemixo servers.
