Common PSC Photo Specs

Provincial language commissions and test stations set different rules. Common specs:

  • Large 1-inch 390×567px (33×48mm): ≤20KB (blue/white/red options per station)
  • Large 1-inch 390×567px: 30–80KB, white background
  • Large 1-inch 390×567px: 150–300KB, white background (some print scenarios)
  • 144×192px: ≤10KB, white background
  • 144×172px: ≤20KB, white background

⚠️ Common Rejection Reasons

  • File size over: ≤10KB and ≤20KB tiers are brutal for manual compression (our tool compresses precisely)
  • Wrong background: most stations require white; some notices allow multiple colors
  • Casual-photo crops, wrong ratio, or a too-small head
  • Accessories or heavy makeup failing face verification
