Frequently asked
Where does my photo go? Is anything uploaded?
Nothing is uploaded. Compression runs entirely in your browser using your device's CPU. Your photo never leaves your device — not to BharatKit, not anywhere.
Why is my output sometimes smaller than the minimum size?
Some source images are already small. If your output drops below the minimum band, start with a higher-resolution photo.
Are these specs current?
We track official specs as of the current cycle, but exam notifications change. Always confirm the latest official notification before submission.
