Why this size

UPSC photo size and signature size

UPSC's One Time Registration asks for a photo of 550 to 1000 pixels on each side, between 20 and 300 KB, as a JPG on a plain white background. Your face, from the top of the hair to the chin, fills three quarters of it, and the photo must show your name and the date it was taken at the bottom. It must be no more than 10 days old when the application opens. This page makes a 630 x 810 pixel photo under 200 KB, which also passes the 200 KB limit some guides give.

The signature is a separate file: three signatures one below the other in black ink, 350 to 550 pixels on each side and 20 to 300 KB. This page makes it 500 x 500 pixels and under 100 KB, inside every version of the rule.

Photograph	550 to 1000 px on each side, 20 to 300 KB, JPG

At least 550 x 550 and at most 1000 x 1000 pixels. Older guides say 350 pixels, but the current portal asks for at least 550, so a photo made for the old rule can be refused.

Three signatures one below the other in one image, 350 to 550 pixels on each side, as a JPG of 20 to 300 KB. Some guides give 350 to 500 pixels and 100 KB, so this page makes 500 x 500 pixels under 100 KB, which passes both.

Checked

How we checked this page

Checked by the SizePort team on 3 October 2026.

We compare every size and rule on this page with the official sources below, and test the tool with sample photos before it goes live. Rules and platforms change, so if something here is out of date, tell us and we will correct it.

How the tool works

The kit sets each file to the exact pixel size the form gives, then searches for the JPG quality that lands it inside the KB range. If a small file is still under the minimum, it adds an empty comment block inside the JPG, which raises the size without changing the picture. It also writes the DPI the form asks for. Everything happens in your browser; your images are never uploaded.
