About UPSC Photo Resizer

Resize your photo for UPSC applications such as Civil Services (CSE), NDA, CDS and other UPSC exams. The page opens with the "UPSC photo (550 × 700 px)" preset: 550 × 700 px, JPG and a file size of 20–300 KB, with the quality chosen for you. UPSC has allowed any width and height from 350 to 1000 px, so you can type a different size within that range. Check the notice for your exam, because UPSC has changed its photo rules between cycles.

How to Use

Add your photo

Drop, choose or paste a recent front-facing photo against a plain light background. Use Rotate left or Rotate right if it is sideways.

Frame your face

Drag the crop box so your face is centred and fills most of the frame, and use Zoom if needed. The box keeps the 550 × 700 shape.

Change the size if your notice differs

Type another Width and Height, between 350 and 1000 px if the notice allows that range, or change Min KB and Max KB if the KB limit is different.

Check and download

The Result shows the size in pixels and KB and "Within 20–300 KB" when it fits. Click Download.

Rules & Limitations

UPSC rules vary between notices. Some have asked for the candidate's name and the date the photo was taken to be printed on the photo, and for a photo no older than a set number of days. This tool does not add text.
The preset limit is 20–300 KB. If your notice gives a lower maximum, such as 200 KB, change Max KB before you download.
The tool does not check the background, glasses or whether the face is clear; a well-lit photo against a plain wall avoids most rejections.

UPSC Photo Resizer FAQ

What is the UPSC photo size in pixels?

The preset uses 550 × 700 px, a JPG of 20–300 KB. Recent UPSC rules have allowed any width and height from 350 to 1000 px, so 550 × 700 sits comfortably inside the range. Check the notice for your exam.

How do I add my name and date on a UPSC photo?

This page does not add text. If your notice asks for it, use the Image Watermark Tool first to put your name and the date at Bottom centre at full opacity, then add that image here and keep the text inside the crop box.

Can I upload a 200 KB photo for UPSC?

Yes, if the notice allows up to 300 KB. The tool keeps the highest quality that fits, and a 550 × 700 px photo usually lands well under 200 KB. If your notice sets 200 KB as the maximum, type 200 in Max KB to be sure.

Should my UPSC photo be square or rectangular?

The preset makes a portrait rectangle, 550 × 700 px. If the notice asks for a square or another shape, type the width and height it gives, and the crop box changes to match.

Is the same photo used on the UPSC admit card?

The photo you upload is generally the one printed on your admit card and checked at the exam centre, so use a recent photo that looks like you on the exam day.
