Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if my UPSC photo exceeds 40KB?
The UPSC portal will reject the upload with an error. You must compress the file below 40KB before the form accepts it.
Will compressing to 40KB make my photo look blurry?
No. A passport-size photo (200×230 px) at 40KB is more than sufficient quality. UPSC accepts it without any issue.
Can I use this tool on my phone?
Yes. This tool works perfectly on Android and iPhone browsers. Just tap to select the photo from your gallery.
