TCS Photo & Signature Size - NQT & iON
The upload limits TCS NQT and TCS iON exam portals ask for, and a free way to hit them before the form times out.
TCS iON portals generally accept a photo up to 100 KB and a signature up to 20 KB in JPEG. Aiming a little under, around 90 KB and 15 KB, avoids borderline rejections. Set the target in PhotoResizer and download upload-ready files.
TCS NQT & iON upload specifications

| Maximum file size | 100 KB | 20 KB |

| Ink / colour | Colour photograph, clear face | Black or dark blue ink |
Why TCS iON uploads fail
The usual message is that the file size exceeds the limit, because a modern phone photo is several megabytes against a 100 KB cap. A signature photographed rather than scanned is often too large and too faint. Resize both to a target under the cap before you start the form.
How to resize your photo & signature for TCS
- Open PhotoResizer — set the TCS size, or enter the KB and pixels manually.
- Upload your photo/signature from your phone or computer.
- Crop to fit — align inside the required frame.
- Download — a ready-to-upload JPEG within the size limit.
Frequently asked questions
What is the photo size limit for TCS NQT?
TCS iON portals generally cap the photograph at 100 KB in JPEG. Aiming for about 90 KB leaves headroom so the upload is not rejected at the boundary.
What is the TCS signature upload size?
Generally up to 20 KB in JPEG. Around 15 KB is a safe target that still keeps every stroke visible.
Why does TCS iON say my file size exceeds the limit?
Phone photos are typically 2 to 8 MB, far above the 100 KB cap. Compress the image to a target under the limit first, then upload.
