Official UPSC photograph specifications

UPSC mandates a recent passport-size colour photograph (3.5 cm × 4.5 cm) taken against a white background. The file must be in JPEG/JPG format, between 20 KB and 300 KB. At 300 DPI, these physical dimensions translate to 413×531 pixels. This is the standard across UPSC CSE, DAF, IES, and CMS applications.

Common reasons UPSC photos are rejected

Photos are frequently rejected for being blurry or pixelated, having a coloured or patterned background, incorrect dimensions or file size, wearing caps or sunglasses, and using old photos. Always use a clear, recent photograph taken in a professional studio or under good lighting.

How to keep your file size within 20 KB–300 KB

After resizing to 413×531 px, a JPEG saved at 85–90% quality is typically 40–120 KB — comfortably within the UPSC range. Use the quality slider in the editor to fine-tune. Avoid over-compressing, as very low quality may cause rejection for being blurry.

Your photos are completely private

All resizing happens in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. No image data is ever sent to a server. The tool works fully offline once the page has loaded, so your passport photograph stays completely private.

Frequently asked questions.

Everything you need to know about UPSC Civil Services photo requirements.

UPSC requires a recent passport-size photograph (3.5 cm × 4.5 cm) taken against a white background. It must be in JPEG/JPG format with a file size between 20 KB and 300 KB. The photograph must clearly show the face and should have been taken within the last three months.

At 300 DPI (dots per inch), a 3.5×4.5 cm photograph corresponds to 413×531 pixels. This tool presets those dimensions so you don't have to calculate them manually.

Resizing to 413×531 px and saving as JPEG typically produces a file in the 30–150 KB range, which falls well within the UPSC requirement of 20 KB–300 KB. If your photo is very detailed, you can reduce JPEG quality slightly in the editor to bring it below 300 KB.

Yes. UPSC requires photographs to be taken against a plain white background. Ensure your original photo meets this requirement before resizing. This tool only resizes — it does not change background colour.

No. All processing happens entirely in your browser. Your photos are never uploaded, stored, or shared with any server.

Yes. The 413×531 px (3.5×4.5 cm at 300 DPI) specification is standard across UPSC applications including the Civil Services Examination (CSE), Detailed Application Form (DAF), Engineering Services Examination (IES), and others.
