It is a common mistake — candidates take one photo at a studio and use the same file across every exam portal. The portals reject the file automatically because:
Each exam page on this site sets the correct pixel dimensions and KB limit automatically — you just upload once and download a file that will pass that exam's portal validation.
SSC and Police exams have the strictest file size limits — SSC allows only up to 50 KB and most Police portals allow only up to 40 KB. Both will reject the file automatically if it exceeds the limit, even if the photo looks correct. Use the size slider on the respective tool pages to hit the exact KB target.
Yes, provided you use the rear camera (not the front/selfie camera), shoot against a plain white wall in good natural light, and keep a neutral expression. Front cameras have wide-angle distortion that can cause facial recognition issues during document verification.
The physical size is 3.5×4.5 cm (the same as a standard Indian passport photo) for UPSC, Railway, Police, and State PSC. For NEET, JEE, IBPS, SSC, and SBI, the physical size is the same but the digital pixel dimensions differ. When printing, always print at 3.5×4.5 cm on glossy photo paper.
Portal validation checks pixels and KB. Exam centre officers do a manual check — they may reject if: the photo looks too old, the appearance has changed significantly, the photo was printed on regular paper instead of glossy photo paper, or the print is worn. Always print on proper photo paper and use a recent photo.
