How this tool works
This tool scales your photo to at most 1000 pixels wide and saves a JPG between 20 KB and 300 KB, the UPSC limit for EPFO (EO / AO / APFC). It lowers JPEG quality only as far as needed to stay under 300 KB, and pads a file that comes out below 20 KB without changing the picture. It does not replace backgrounds, so take the photo against a white background.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this photo resizer tool officially provided by UPSC?
No. FreeApplyTools is an independent utility platform. However, the engine is hardcoded to strictly follow the official UPSC notification rules for 2026.
What happens if my photo is larger than 300KB?
The official UPSC portal will block your upload and throw an error. This tool prevents that by automatically capping the output size to within 20KB–300KB.
What photo format does UPSC 2026 accept?
Most government portals accept only JPEG/JPG format. Our tool automatically converts and compresses your photo to the correct format.
Common EPFO (EO / AO / APFC) Photo Upload Errors
"File size exceeds 300KB"
The UPSC portal rejects photos above 300KB. Our tool automatically caps the output to stay within 20–300KB.
"Invalid image dimensions"
Photos must match the specified aspect ratio. Our resizer auto-crops to the exact pixel spec.
"Photo rejected — wrong background"
UPSC requires a white background. Selfies or photos taken indoors often have grey/dark tones that trigger rejection.
