The Only GDS Photo Resize to 50KB & 20KB Tool You Need
Applying for India Post Gramin Dak Sevak (GDS) recruitment? The hardest part is the document upload — the portal is extremely strict. If your photo is even 1 KB over the limit, the application gets rejected. Our GDS photo resizer fixes this — resize to exactly 50KB or 20KB instantly, free, and without any app download.
Official GDS Photo & Signature Upload Requirements
India Post has two separate documents with completely different rules. Mixing them up is the #1 reason applications get rejected.

📍 GDS Signature Upload Specifications

How to Use the GDS Photo Resizer — Step by Step

For passport photo: Set Width = 200 px, Height = 230 px, Target = 50 KB.
For signature: Set Width = 140 px, Height = 60 px, Target = 20 KB.
Step 4 — Resize & Download
Click Resize Signature. Your file will be compressed and downloaded instantly, ready to upload directly to the India Post GDS portal.
Why This Tool is Safe for Govt Form Documents
Many online tools upload your photo to foreign servers — putting your personal data at risk. Our GDS photo dimension tool works 100% in your browser (client-side). Your photo and signature never leave your device. Everything is processed locally — instant, private, and secure.
Common Mistakes GDS Applicants Make
- Photographing a printed photo: Don't photograph a printed passport photo. The glare makes the face unclear. Take a fresh photo directly.
- Wearing glasses or caps: India Post explicitly disqualifies photos with tinted glasses, heavy frames, or headgear.
- Mixing up uploads: Many candidates accidentally upload the 20KB signature in the photo slot and vice versa. Always double-check the preview before submitting.
- Lined paper for signature: Using notebook paper leaves visible ruled lines in the scan. Always use blank white A4 printer paper.
- Dark or shadowed background: Poor lighting ruins photo quality. Use bright natural light near a window.
