UPSC photo specifications

Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) online applications for Civil Services, CDS, NDA, and other exams require a passport-style photograph at 200 × 230 pixels with a maximum file size of 300 KB in JPEG format.

The photo must be recent (taken within the last 6 months), show a clear front-facing view, and have a plain white or light-coloured background. Half-body or side-profile photos are rejected. Both ears should be visible and no headwear except for religious reasons.

ToolShoppy's free Govt Photo Resizer selects the UPSC preset, auto-crops to 200×230 px, pads onto your chosen background, and compresses to the file size limit — processed entirely in your browser.
