Aftermath File Fixer

Destination validator · browser local

Check UPSC photo and signature requirements.

This route is a checker, not an automatic resizer. Use the official UPSC examination FAQ for general guidance, keep the active examination notice beside the checker, and enter separate rules for the asset you need.

What this workspace does

An editable, transparent checklist for one UPSC upload asset.

Use it accurately

UPSC application workflows can include live-photo and visual checks such as face coverage, pose, background, and identity. This checker measures only the file properties you enter and cannot confirm portal approval.

Private browser processing

Selected files are processed in the current browser session. Aftermath has no account, cloud file storage, or server-side file-processing job.

How to check your file

Use the official UPSC examination FAQ for its general photo and signature guidance, then check the active examination notice for the form and year you are submitting. Enter the applicable measurable rule for the photo or signature and compare one file locally. The browser can check bytes, pixels, and format, but it cannot confirm live capture, face coverage, pose, background, identity, or portal approval. Treat the current UPSC notice and application module as final.

What to choose and what you get

What to choose

  • one or more JPG, PNG, or WebP assets and the applicable rule values

Result

  • a measured local comparison with warnings for missing requirements

Supported use

  • One UPSC photo or signature file compared with byte range, exact canvas, and format values entered from the FAQ or current examination notice.
  • Actionable measured differences that distinguish a technical file mismatch from requirements the browser cannot inspect.

Before you start

  • Live-photo capture and candidate identity remain outside a selected file's measurable byte, pixel, and MIME properties.
  • Face coverage, pose, background, and triple-signature composition cannot be converted into an automatic portal-approval verdict.

Supported formats

  • Accepted formats: JPG, PNG, WebP.
  • Output formats: HTML report.

Browser support and permissions

  • Modern browser with JavaScript, a supported image decoder, and enough memory for the selected set.
  • No camera, microphone, or screen permission is needed.

Choose the right settings

  • Identify the UPSC asset type and copy only its current measurable rules into the checker.
  • Review live-photo and visual-composition requirements directly in the current UPSC examination notice rather than inferring them from a pass.
  • Use /custom for pixel, byte, or format correction, then return to this rule card for another measurement.

Worked example

A UPSC applicant enters the current measurable upload rules while keeping live-photo and visual instructions for manual review.

Starting facts

  • The official UPSC FAQ is linked for context.
  • Some requirements cannot be derived from bytes, pixels or MIME type.

Observed operation: Compare the selected photo or signature with the entered measurable constraints and preserve non-measurable checks as warnings.

Review the result: Review every local result alongside the current portal instructions before attempting the actual submission.

Boundary: The tool cannot perform the portal's live-photo process or determine identity, pose, eligibility or final acceptance.

What you can do

Check a UPSC upload asset's entered byte, pixel, and format rules while keeping live-photo and visual requirements manual.

If it does not work

  • Applying the photo rule to a signature, or a signature rule to another UPSC asset, creates the wrong comparison.
  • A technically passing file can still fail UPSC's visual or live-capture requirements.
  • Omitted constraints remain warnings; malformed rule values or measured format, size, and dimension mismatches remain failures.

Things to know

  • External requirements can change; compare the result with the current official source before submitting it.

Privacy boundary

Selected image bytes and entered rule values stay in the current browser session and are not sent to an Aftermath processing service. How local processing is verified.

What this tool verifies

Checks the displayed limits and reports or creates a measured local comparison with warnings for missing requirements from one or more JPG, PNG, or WebP assets and the applicable rule values.

Check before sharing

A measured pass checks the entered file rules; it does not guarantee acceptance by the external destination.
