Kerala PSC Thulasi Photo Resizer 2026 – 150×200px Under 30KB Free

Kerala PSC Thulasi photo requirements: the exact answer

The Kerala PSC Thulasi portal requires your photo to be exactly 150×200 pixels, saved as a JPEG file under 30 KB. No other dimensions work — the portal validates pixel dimensions exactly. The background must be white. This tool resizes your photo to 150×200, compresses it under 28 KB (keeping a small buffer below the 30 KB limit), and adds your name and date stamp at the bottom — all processed in your browser without uploading anything.

How to use this tool

1. 1

   Tap "Choose Photo" and select your photo. JPG, PNG, and HEIC all work — the tool outputs JPG regardless.

2. 2

   Enter your name exactly as it appears on your Thulasi profile. This is added as a stamp at the bottom of the photo.

3. 3

   Set the date the photo was taken. Use the actual photo date, not today's date unless they are the same.

4. 4

   Tap "Process Image." The tool scales and crops your photo to exactly 150×200 pixels, then compresses it below 28 KB.

5. 5

   Check the output size shown below. It should be under 30 KB. Tap "Download Kerala PSC Photo" to save it.

Why Thulasi portal photo requirements are so strict

The Kerala PSC Thulasi portal stores millions of candidate photos and uses automated validation that checks both pixel dimensions and file size exactly. Unlike some portals that accept photos within a range (like UPSC which accepts 350–1000 pixels), Thulasi requires exactly 150×200 pixels. A photo at 151×200 or 150×201 will fail validation.

The 30 KB file size limit exists because Thulasi displays your photo on printed hall tickets and admit cards. Keeping the file small ensures fast loading during high-traffic periods — especially during mass exam days when lakhs of candidates access their hall tickets simultaneously.

When this tool outputs a photo at 28 KB, it leaves a 2 KB buffer. This matters because some browsers and operating systems round file sizes differently, and a file reported as 30.1 KB in one place might show as 31 KB on another. The buffer protects you from borderline rejections.

The name and date stamp on Kerala PSC photos

Kerala PSC applications ask you to upload a photo with your name and date written below. This is required for identity verification at the exam centre and during document checking. The stamp this tool adds places your name on the left and the photograph date on the right, inside a dark bar at the bottom of the photo.

Use your name exactly as it appears on your Thulasi registration — typically the same as your SSLC or higher secondary mark sheet. For the date, use the date the photo was taken, not the date you are applying. If you took the photo within the last six months, use the actual shoot date.

The stamp is printed small because the photo dimensions are only 150×200 pixels. At this resolution, a 10-pixel font is readable but does not dominate the photo area. The dark background bar ensures the white text stays readable regardless of your photo background.
