Frequently Asked Questions
What photo size do Police exams require for 2026?
Police SI and Constable recruitment exams typically require 413×531 pixels (3.5×4.5 cm at 300 DPI), JPEG format, between 15 KB and 40 KB. The 40 KB upper limit is the strictest among all government exam portals.
Why is the Police exam photo limit only 40 KB?
State police recruitment portals are older systems with strict file size validation. A photo above 40 KB is rejected automatically. Use this tool's size slider to compress your photo to 25–35 KB before uploading.
Do all state police exams have the same photo requirements?
Most state police exams follow similar specifications (413×531 px, 15–40 KB), but some states may vary slightly. Always check your specific state police notification PDF. The specs on this page reflect the most common requirements.
Can I use the same photo for UPSC and Police?
Both use 413×531 pixels, but UPSC allows up to 300 KB while Police allows only 40 KB. You must generate separate photos — use this tool's size slider to compress the Police version.
Is a physical photo also required for Police recruitment?
Yes. Most state police recruitments require both a digital upload AND physical passport photos to be submitted during document verification and at the exam centre. Print your photo on glossy photo paper at 3.5×4.5 cm.
