Frequently asked questions

What is the standard photo size for Indian exam forms?

Most Indian exam portals want the photo at 20–50 KB and the signature at 10–20 KB, usually around 3.5×4.5 cm (≈200×230 to 350×450 px). But it varies by exam — UPSC allows up to 300 KB, GATE up to 600 KB, and some State PSCs differ — so always match the exact exam, which is what this table is for.

Why does the exact size matter so much?

Online exam portals reject uploads that are over the file-size cap or the wrong dimensions, which can cost you the application window. Matching the exact KB and pixel spec for your exam avoids rejection.

How do I resize my photo to the exact size?

Pick your exam below to open its page, then use the in-browser resizer to hit the exact KB and dimensions. It runs entirely on your device — nothing is uploaded — and it's free with no watermark.

Are these sizes official?

Yes. Each exam's page links to the official government source the numbers were confirmed against, with the date. Specs can change between notification cycles, so confirm on the official portal before you submit.
