Troubleshooting

Common issues & fixes

If your upload is rejected, one of these is usually the reason.

  • Upload rejected — file size too large

    What you see

    The portal displays "File size exceeds the allowed limit" or the upload button spins indefinitely.

    How to fix it

    This tool automatically compresses your photo to the exact size limit. Re-process your photo and download again — the output will be within the allowed limit.

  • Photo rejected — wrong dimensions

    What you see

    The portal shows "Invalid photo dimensions" or "Photo does not meet size requirements".

    How to fix it

    Use the correct preset for your exam. This tool resizes your photo to the exact pixel dimensions required — no manual resizing needed.

  • Format not accepted — only JPEG allowed

    What you see

    Portal shows "Only JPEG/JPG format accepted" even though your photo looks fine.

    How to fix it

    This tool automatically converts PNG, WebP, and other formats to JPEG on download. Ensure you are uploading the file you just downloaded, not your original.

  • Background rejected — not white

    What you see

    The portal flags the photo for "incorrect background colour" or the automated check fails.

    How to fix it

    This tool cannot change the background of your photo. Retake your photo in front of a plain white or off-white wall in good lighting. Then re-process through this tool.

  • Photo rejected — too old

    What you see

    Form submission blocked with "Please upload a recent photograph (within 6 months)".

    How to fix it

    Government portals require a recent photo. Use a photo taken within the last 6 months, then process it here.

Frequently asked questions

What photo size does GPSC require?
GPSC requires a photo of 3.5x4.5 cm (413x531 pixels at 300 DPI), in JPEG format, and under 200 KB. Both the size and the file limit are checked by the portal at the time of upload.
Why does GPSC need a white background for the photo?
The GPSC portal uses the photo on the admit card and hall ticket. A plain white background makes the face clearer for identification. Coloured, patterned, or outdoor backgrounds are not accepted.
Is GPSC photo size different from UPSC?
The pixel dimensions are identical at 3.5x4.5 cm. But GPSC has a stricter 200 KB file size limit compared to UPSC's 300 KB. If you use the UPSC preset for a GPSC application, the file might exceed 200 KB and get rejected.
Do I need to resize my signature for GPSC too?
Yes, the GPSC application form has a separate signature upload. Use Signature 20KB to get your scanned signature to 140x60 pixels, under 20 KB. Both files need to be uploaded.
