Live crop your photo by dragging, set exact 350x350 pixels, and print your Name / Date as per strict UPSC OTR guidelines.
*UPSC OTR requires min 350x350px. 250KB is optimal.
Applying for the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) Civil Services (IAS, IPS, IFS) exams requires absolute precision. The UPSC One Time Registration (OTR) portal is powered by legacy systems that are extremely unforgiving. If your image is 1KB over the size limit or even 1 pixel off in dimensions, the system will discard your application without explanation.

What are the exact pixel dimensions required for UPSC photos?
UPSC mandates that both your photograph and signature must have a minimum resolution of 350 x 350 pixels and a maximum resolution of 1000 x 1000 pixels. The file size must be between 20KB and 300KB.
How do I add my name and date to the UPSC photo?
Our dedicated UPSC tool has an 'Add Name & Date' feature. Simply check the box, enter your name and the date the photo was taken. The tool will automatically generate a strip at the bottom of your photo.
