Frequently asked questions
Why do exams ask for different photo sizes?
Each recruitment board builds its own portal and sets its own limits. A photo that passes one form can fail another, so make a separate file for each exam.
What does 3.5 × 4.5 cm mean in pixels?
It depends on the DPI. At 200 DPI it's about 276 × 354 px; at 300 DPI about 413 × 531 px. If the form gives pixels, use those.
Is my photo uploaded or stored anywhere?
No. PhotoSuvidha resizes and compresses the image inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The image is never sent to our server.
