Frequently asked questions
What is the UPSC photo size in KB?
UPSC typically accepts photographs between 20 KB and 300 KB in JPG format, between 350 and 1000 pixels on each side.
My photo gets rejected as “invalid size” — what do I do?
Use the matching preset above: it sets the exact pixel dimensions and searches the JPEG quality until the file lands inside the allowed KB range. Upload the downloaded file as is — don’t open and re-save it in another app, which changes the size.
Can I use a selfie?
Use a recent photo on a plain light background, face centred, both ears visible, no cap or dark glasses (religious headwear is usually allowed). Crop with the frame so your face fills about 70–80% of the height.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Everything happens inside your browser using your own device. Files are never uploaded, stored or seen by anyone — you can even switch off the internet after the page loads and the tool keeps working.
