Frequently asked questions
What is the UPSC photo size?
413 × 531 pixels, between 20–300 KB, in JPG format. Check the current UPSC notification before you submit, because sizes can change each year.
How do I reduce my UPSC photo to 300 KB?
Add the photo above, adjust the frame and download. PixFit sets the pixels and finds the JPG quality that lands inside 20–300 KB.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. Resizing and compression happen in your browser. The file stays on your phone or computer.
Why does the UPSC portal reject my photo?
Usually the file is above 300 KB or below 20 KB, the pixels are wrong, or it is not a JPG. PixFit fixes all three and shows a green ACCEPTED stamp when the file is inside the range.
What if the official size changes?
PixFit re-checks UPSC notifications and shows the last verified date on this page. If your notification differs, use Resize image and enter its numbers.
