UPSC photo and signature size — full guide
When you fill the UPSC online application, the photo and signature must meet a fixed format. Below are the values UPSC typically asks for. Always confirm the exact numbers in the current official notification, because they can change from year to year.
Typical requirement
| Item | Format | Size (typical) | File size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Photo | JPG/JPEG | 3.5 × 4.5 cm (approx 350 × 450 px) | 20 KB – 300 KB |
| Signature | JPG/JPEG | 3.5 × 1.5 cm | 20 KB – 300 KB |
How to make them
- Use the UPSC Photo Resize tool for the photo.
- Use the UPSC Signature Resize tool for the signature.
- Download both and upload to the UPSC portal.
Everything runs in your browser — your photo and signature are never uploaded to us.
