Clearing UPSC OTR’s 75% Face Coverage & KB Range Checks

Recent UPSC notifications require the candidate’s face (including both ears) to occupy roughly three-fourths (75%) of the photograph area, along with a clean white strip at the bottom showing your full name and the date on which the photo was clicked.

PixelKit pre-loads the UPSC Civil Services preset (`350 × 450 px`) paired with the `20 KB – 50 KB` range encoder so your JPG never drops below the 20 KB floor (even with a clean white background) and never breaches 50 KB.

Dual-Bound 20–50 KB Safety

Automatically pads ultra-clean studio portraits above 20 KB while keeping detailed photos strictly ≤ 50 KB.

Crisp Name & Date Text

Chroma-aware JPEG encoding keeps small printed text at the bottom of your UPSC photo sharp and readable.

Zero Server Exposure

Your UPSC admit card portrait and identity documents stay 100% private in browser memory.

Frequently asked questions

What if UPSC OTR asks for minimum 350×350 px and 20KB to 300KB?
350 × 450 px at 35–48 KB satisfies both 350×350+ minimum pixel rules AND both 20–50 KB and 20–300 KB byte brackets simultaneously, so one file works everywhere.
Why did upsconline.nic.in reject my photo as less than 20KB?
Plain white backgrounds compress heavily in JPEG, sometimes shrinking a 350×450 px portrait to 14–18 KB. PixelKit’s 20–50 KB range mode boosts quality or adds compliant ISO padding so the file safely exceeds 20 KB.
How do I resize my UPSC signature and PDF ID card too?
Use our dedicated UPSC Signature Resizer for the 10–20 KB signature slot and Photo to PDF 200KB for your Aadhaar/PAN identity PDF.
Is my photo saved on PixelKit?
Never. Everything runs client-side in your browser tab with zero network uploads.
