Notices give sizes in pixels, centimetres or KB. Centimetres only become pixels at a stated DPI: 3.5 × 4.5 cm is 413 × 531 pixels at 300 DPI. The 35 × 45 mm, 6 × 2 cm and 50 × 20 mm resizers do that conversion for you. For the file size, the 20KB, 50KB and 100KB pages compress down, and Increase Image Size in KB goes up when a form sets a minimum.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standard photo size for most Indian government exams?
There is no single size; it depends on the exam. Of the 15 exams in the table above, 6 use 413×531 pixels (BPSC, CTET, JEE Main, NEET, RRB Group D and RRB NTPC), 5 use 200×230 pixels (CUET, IBPS PO, RPSC RAS, SBI PO and SSC CGL), GATE uses 240×320 pixels, DSSSB uses 480×672 pixels, NDA allows 350×350 to 1000×1000 pixels (our preset uses 413×531) and UPSC allows 350×350 to 1000×1000 pixels (our preset uses 413×531). All 15 ask for a JPG file. File-size limits differ even between exams that share dimensions, so check your exam's row before you upload.
What is the signature size requirement?
Signatures are typically 140×60 pixels or 3.5×1.5 cm. The required file size is usually between 10KB and 20KB in JPG format.
Is it safe to resize my official documents here?
Yes. TryDocsy uses 100% client-side processing. Your photos are processed in your browser memory and never uploaded to our servers.
Can I use the same photo for multiple exams?
Only if the specifications (dimensions and KB range) match perfectly. Always cross-check with the latest official recruitment notification for each specific post.
