SYSTEM.TROUBLESHOOTING

Why is the portal rejecting my upload?

Most application rejections are caused by hidden dimension or background mismatches rather than KB limits alone.

Issue 1

TNPSC rejects photo: 'Missing Name and Date on photograph'

Cause: TNPSC OTR explicitly mandates candidate name and date of taking photo inscribed at the bottom.

Fix: Use ToolKB's Photo Name & Date tool (/photo-name-date) to stamp your name and date before compression.

Issue 2

File size below 20KB rejected

Cause: Compressor over-compressed file below TNPSC 20KB limit.

Fix: ToolKB sets the target to 45KB.

Issue 3

Signature upload rejected as exceeding 20KB

Cause: TNPSC signature has a strict 20KB ceiling.

Fix: ToolKB's TNPSC Signature preset clamps output to 15KB.

Issue 4

Aspect ratio distorted from 200×230 px

Cause: Uploading non-standard dimensions.

Fix: ToolKB's preset locks the exact 200 × 230 px canvas.

Issue 5

Signature in capital letters rejected

Cause: TNPSC mandates natural running handwriting.

Fix: Sign in running script on white paper.

Issue 6

Phone camera shadow obscuring facial features

Cause: Indoor lighting casting shadow on chin/neck.

Fix: Retake in direct daylight facing a window.
