FPSC (CSS and recruitment): what to upload
Passport-size photo: Under 30 KB, JPG or JPEG. No pixel size is stated.
Other rules to know
Use a recent passport-size picture. The same limit appears in the 2018 and 2025 versions of the FPSC online application guidelines.
Questions
Why does the FPSC preset aim for 29 KB?
FPSC asks for a file "less than 30 Kb". Aiming just under it avoids a file of exactly 30 KB being rejected.
My file comes out smaller than the minimum. What happens?
Where there is a minimum, the tool first saves at top quality and then adds padding data that image viewers ignore, so the picture is unchanged and the file meets the minimum.
How accurate are these requirements?
The official notice could not be read directly; values are those attributed to it by several sources that agree. Rules can change with each new notice, so compare with the official instructions linked on this page.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs in your browser, so your photo and signature stay on your device. Nothing is uploaded unless you choose to share a file by link. That matters for ID documents. If your device can't handle an image, the tool can shrink it on our server instead, but only if you agree, and it is deleted right away.
