aspect_ratioFix dimensionsFrequently Asked Questions
What does 'image dimensions incorrect' mean?
It means your photo's width or height (in pixels) does not match what the exam portal requires. For example, SSC/IBPS need exactly 200×230 pixels, and UPSC needs 413×531 pixels. Even if your file size is correct, wrong pixel dimensions will cause rejection.
How do I know what dimensions my exam requires?
Check the official exam notification. SSC CGL/CHSL: 200×230 px. UPSC CSE: 413×531 px (3.5×4.5 cm at 300 DPI). IBPS PO/Clerk: 200×230 px. RRB NTPC: 200×230 px. Passport-style forms: 413×531 px.
Can I resize a photo without losing quality?
Yes — if you are resizing down (making smaller), quality loss is minimal. Use our Photo Dimension Fixer which maintains aspect ratio. Avoid resizing up (enlarging) as it makes photos blurry and may cause rejection.
My photo is 200x200 but SSC needs 200x230 — will it be rejected?
Yes. Portals check exact dimensions. A 200×200 px photo will fail the 200×230 px check. You need to crop or resize to exactly 200 pixels wide and 230 pixels tall.
Does dimension error affect the signature too?
Yes. Signature dimensions matter too. SSC/IBPS/Railways signatures need to be 140×60 pixels (width×height). UPSC portal typically needs 800×200 pixels. Use the Signature Size Checker to verify before uploading.
