Tips for a Perfect Result
- Take the photo in daylight facing a window, against a plain white or light wall.
- Keep your face straight, eyes open, mouth closed — no cap or dark glasses.
- Use the back camera of your phone with someone else taking it; selfies often look stretched.
- The 1000 × 1000 option gives the clearest picture and still stays under 300 KB.
- Use a recent photo — UPSC asks for a true likeness of how you look now.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about UPSC Photo Resizer.
A JPG of 20 KB to 300 KB, between 350 × 350 and 1000 × 1000 pixels. Both options in this tool fit those rules. Rules can change with each notice — always check the official notification for your exam before uploading.
Both are accepted. 1000 × 1000 looks sharper; 350 × 350 makes a smaller file. If unsure, choose 1000 × 1000.
The tool automatically brings small files up to 20 KB without changing the picture, so UPSC accepts it.
Recent UPSC forms don't require it unless the notice says so. If your notice asks for it, add them with Add Text to Image first.
Use the UPSC Signature Resizer. UPSC asks for three signatures one below the other, in black ink, with the same KB and pixel limits.
Common reasons: old or unclear photo, cap or dark glasses, dark background, or a file outside 20–300 KB. Retake in daylight against a plain wall.
