Digital vs print usage
Decide early whether the endpoint is a portal, a printer, or both.
Treat this route as digital-first. The crop has to look right, but the destination portal can still reject a file that misses its pixel, file-size, or format rules.
When the destination system expects a stored pixel variant, keep the export close to 160×200 px and about 40-10240 KB.
- Preferred format: JPG
- Allowed formats: JPG, JPEG, PNG
- Stored file-size window: about 40-10240 KB
- Check the destination portal before you treat the job as finished.
What matters most for this specific document
The biggest rejection risk is not the same on every route.
The most important checks on this page are the ones that keep you on the right route and inside the right crop.
No direct official source link is attached to this route, so anything beyond measurable crop and visible policy notes still needs manual confirmation.
- Route match first: India Police clearance certificate (PCC) 160x200-212 px.
- Background rule on this route: Use a clean, evenly lit background with no distracting texture or objects.
- Technical target on this route: 160×200 px and about 40-10240 KB.
- Headwear and edge shadows still need a human check: Keep headwear only when it is actually required and the face stays fully visible.
- The crop tool keeps facial proportions intact. When the target ratio changes, adjust the crop and scale evenly instead of stretching the face.

Common mistakes for this format
Most failures start before export, not after it.
On highly similar routes, the usual pattern is choosing the wrong page first and then trying to rescue the file with edits.
- Choosing a nearby route before confirming the exact India Police clearance certificate (PCC) 160x200-212 px profile.
- Forcing the portrait into 160×200 px by stretching instead of cropping to the right ratio.
- Getting the crop right but exporting a different technical variant than the stored 160×200 px / about 40-10240 KB.
- Searching for PCC but exporting from a generic preset for another document or country.
How to use this profile in the editor
Keep the page guidance and the active preset aligned all the way through export.
This page is most useful when you open the editor from here, keep the PCC route active, and finish that document route before any risky retouching.
- Open the editor from this page so India Police clearance certificate (PCC) 160x200-212 px loads as the active preset instead of a nearby route.
- Upload a source portrait with some room around the head and shoulders so the final ratio can be solved with crop, not distortion.
- Adjust the crop until head height is close to 62% and the top margin is near 10%.
- Check the measurable rules, file settings, and destination workflow before export.
- Preview and export should stay on the same crop geometry.
- If the route stores 160×200 px and about 40-10240 KB, keep those settings through export instead of resizing the downloaded file again.
