UPSC Photo Resize: 20–200 KB JPG, 75% face 📸

CSE/CAPF ke liye — official instruction PDF se verified spec

UPSC ka photo spec seedha hai, par do cheezein candidates aksar galat karte hain: face coverage aur live-photo match. Official instruction PDF ke mutabiq photo JPG, filename photo, 20–200 KB, plain white background honi chahiye aur face kam se kam 75% (3/4th) cover kare. Ye page wahi verified spec deta hai — pixel presets ko official table me nahi dala gaya hai, kyunki PDF me pixels hain hi nahi.

Exam: UPSC CSE / CAPF (aur wahi upload instructions wali UPSC examinations). Source: official UPSC instruction PDF (upsconline.nic.in), read in full 28 Oct 2026. Upload vs live capture: uploaded photo + portal ke andar live capture, dono — aur dono ka match mandatory hai. Last verification date: 28 Oct 2026.

🔧 Pixel presets — tool helper ONLY, official spec NAHI

Official PDF KB + face coverage prescribe karta hai, pixels NAHI. Tool/guide claims 413×531 px, 550×550 px, 350×350 px UNSOURCED hain as official dimensions aur isliye official-spec table me nahi hain. Agar tool koi pixel option deta hai, to use sirf helper samjho — label: “tool helper, not an official UPSC requirement”. Pixel ko official requirement samajh kar crop mat karo.

📸 Live photograph — mandatory, aur match bhi mandatory

UPSC application me live photograph capture mandatory hai — device webcam se ya mobile par QR scan karke, portal ke andar. Live photo aur uploaded photo match honi chahiye — mismatch par application aage nahi badhegi. Is page ka tool uploaded photo taiyaar karta hai; live capture portal ke andar hi hota hai, is tool se nahi.

🚫 Rejections and their fixes

  • ✗File size band se bahar: 20 KB se kam ya 200 KB se zyada — dono reject ho sakte hain. Purane guides ka 20–300 KB ceiling current PDF se conflict karta hai, PDF ka 20–200 KB hi use karo.
  • ✗Face coverage kam: chehra photo ka 75% cover nahi karta — door se li hui photo isliye reject hoti hai.
  • ✗Dark background, uniform, ya aankhen chhupi hui (coloured/dark glasses, glare, baal aankhon par) — ye sab not allowed hain.
  • ✗Live photo mismatch: portal ke andar li gayi live photograph uploaded photo se match honi chahiye, mismatch par application aage nahi badhegi.
