Government form tools
Two things every government application form demands: a photograph and signature at an exact pixel size and file size, and your age reckoned as on a cut-off date the notification fixes rather than today. Both tools below run entirely inside your browser — no upload, no account, nothing stored.
How do you resize a photo for a government form?
Choose your image, set the pixel width and height the notification asks for, then lower the target size in KB until the file fits. The tool re-encodes the picture in your browser and shows the resulting size before you download it, so you can check it against the form's limit without uploading anything.
Your image is processed on your own device and is never uploaded. Keep the original file — re-encoding to hit a size limit always loses some detail.
How do you calculate your age for a government exam?
Enter your date of birth and the cut-off date the notification fixes, and this returns your age in completed years on that date. Pick a category to apply the standard upper-age relaxation, which raises the maximum age only and never lowers the minimum for any candidate.
Frequently asked questions
What photo size do government application forms require?
Most Indian government application forms ask for a recent passport-style colour photograph between 20 KB and 50 KB, and a signature between 10 KB and 20 KB, each within fixed pixel dimensions. The exact figures are stated in the notification for your exam, so check there before resizing and keep the original file.
Does this photo resizer upload my picture anywhere?
No. The resizing happens entirely inside your own browser using the canvas API, and the image never leaves your device or reaches any OnJob server. Nothing is stored, logged or transmitted, which is why the tool keeps working even if you disconnect from the internet after the page loads.
How is age calculated for government exams?
Age is reckoned in completed years as on a cut-off date fixed by the notification, not as on the day you apply. A birthday falling exactly on that cut-off counts. Upper-age relaxation for reserved categories raises the maximum only, and never lowers the minimum age for any candidate.
How much upper-age relaxation applies to my category?
The standard central-government relaxations are three years for OBC candidates and five years for SC and ST candidates, with PwBD relaxation varying by disability category and post. These are defaults rather than universal rules, so the notification for your specific exam always takes precedence.
