Frequently Asked Questions
What are the UPSC upload size limits?
They vary by exam and year. Photo and signature limits have ranged from about 20KB up to 300KB in recent cycles, and document uploads are commonly capped around 1MB. Always follow the exact figures in the current year's notification rather than last year's numbers.
Should the photo and signature be one file or separate?
Separate. UPSC asks for the photo and signature as individual uploads with their own size limits. Compress each file to its own target rather than combining them.
Are my UPSC documents private when I compress them here?
Yes. EverydayPDF compresses files entirely inside your browser - your certificates and ID proofs are never uploaded to any server, so there is no third party handling your documents during the application rush.
My certificate scan is 8MB - can it reach the limit?
Usually yes. Colour scans at high DPI compress dramatically. If it still exceeds the limit, rescan in grayscale at 200 DPI, or split the PDF and upload only the pages the portal requires.
