Why use PortImg UPSC Resizer?

Built specifically for UPSC portal requirements — nothing generic.

UPSC-specific presets

Pre-loaded with exact UPSC photo (550-1000px square) and signature (350×150px) dimensions. No guesswork.

Live compliance checker

Real-time green/red badges verify pixel dimensions and KB limits against official UPSC specs before you download.

Client-side only

Every operation runs in your browser tab. Your photo is never transmitted to any server — not even temporarily.

Auto file-size targeting

Enter 150 KB and the tool binary-searches for the highest quality that hits the target — perfect for the 20-300 KB window.

Photo & signature both

Switch between Photo Resizer and Signature Resizer — the correct UPSC spec is applied automatically for each.

White background fill

Canvas always fills white before drawing — critical for UPSC, which rejects transparent or non-white backgrounds.

Frequently asked questions

Official answers to common UPSC photo upload questions.

Why UPSC applications get rejected for photos

The UPSC CSE online portal runs automated validation on every uploaded image. Common rejection reasons include file size outside the 20-300 KB range, non-square dimensions, coloured or patterned backgrounds, and JPEG quality too low. A dedicated UPSC photo resizer that enforces exact pixel and KB requirements eliminates technical rejections before you hit submit.

UPSC OTR (One Time Registration) photo upload

From UPSC CSE 2024 onwards, the OTR system means you upload your photograph and signature once and they are reused across all UPSC examinations. Getting it right the first time matters: 550-1000px square, 20-300 KB, JPEG, white background, face filling 75%, name and date at the bottom.

How to prepare the UPSC three-signature requirement

Sign your name three times vertically on a single sheet of plain white A4 paper using a black ballpoint pen, then scan all three as one combined image. The final file must be 350×150 pixels and between 20-100 KB. Our Signature Resizer tab handles this specific format automatically.
