How to resize a photo for an exam form
- Read the photo rules in your notification: maximum and minimum KB, pixel size or cm size, and background colour.
- Tap Choose a photo. A recent photo with a plain white or light background works best.
- Pick the KB limit and the dimensions. Use "Crop to fill" so your face fills the frame without white bars.
- Check the result size, then tap Download JPG and upload it to the form.
Common photo requirements
| Form type | Typical size | Typical KB |
|---|---|---|
| Bank exams (IBPS, SBI) | 200 × 230 px | 20–50 KB |
| SSC | 3.5 × 4.5 cm | 20–50 KB |
| UPSC | 350–1000 px each side | 20–300 KB |
| Railway (RRB) | Varies by notice | 20–50 KB |
These are typical values from past notifications. Rules change, so always check the latest official notice before you apply.
Tips for a photo that won't be rejected
- Face the camera, eyes open, with your face covering about 70% of the photo.
- Use a plain white or light background and even light, without shadows.
- No caps or dark glasses, unless worn for religious or medical reasons.
- Use a recent photo, ideally taken within the last 3 months.
