About this UPSC photo resize
UPSC exams are conducted by the Union Public Service Commission. Its online application uses a photo of 413 × 531 pixels with a file size that can go up to 300 KB. Some UPSC forms also ask for the candidate’s name and the date of the photograph to appear on the picture. This preset supports that: turn on the Name and date option and the tool adds a white band with your name in capitals and the date below the photo. Check the latest UPSC notification and the form itself before you upload.
How to resize it step by step
Upload a recent colour photo, face centred, with a plain background behind you.
Confirm UPSC Photo is selected. The frame is 413 × 531 px at 300 DPI.
Crop so your face fills about 70 to 80 percent of the frame, with your shoulders visible.
If the form asks for a name and date, open Name and date, type your name in capitals and pick the date of the photograph.
Check the size badge, press Make exam ready and download the JPEG.
Common reasons for rejection
- Photo uploaded without the name or date when the form requires them.
- Background that is not plain white or light.
- Image that is not 413 × 531 px, which can happen after a crop in another app.
- Sunglasses, a cap or heavy shadows over the face.
- Very low-resolution screenshots that look soft at this size.
Tips for a better result
- Type your name exactly as it appears in your application so the photo matches the form.
- Choose the date you actually took the photograph, not today’s date.
- Keep the name short where possible. The tool fits the text automatically, but a long name is harder to read.
- Shoot in good light without flash glare on the forehead.
Frequently asked questions
What is the UPSC photo size?
The UPSC Photo preset crops to 413 × 531 pixels at 300 DPI and keeps the file between 20 KB and 300 KB. Check the latest UPSC notification for the official size and format.
Does the UPSC photo need my name and date?
Some UPSC forms ask for the name and the date of the photograph on the picture. Use the Name and date option when your form requires it; if it does not, leave it off.
How does the name and date band work?
The tool adds a white strip below the image and writes your name in capitals with the date underneath. The photo is scaled into the remaining area, so the final size stays exactly 413 × 531 px.
Is 300 KB a safe maximum?
The preset allows up to 300 KB, but a smaller file is usually fine as long as the photo is clear. The tool picks the highest quality that fits.
Can I use the same file for the UPSC signature?
Use the UPSC signature page for the signature. It has its own size of 350 × 150 px and a range of 20 to 100 KB.
Is my photo uploaded to EzSSC?
No. The photo is processed in your browser and downloaded to your device. EzSSC does not receive it.
