Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Delhi Police photo size requirement?

The Delhi Police photograph must be a recent passport style color picture (3.5cm x 4.5cm). The file size must be between 20 KB and 50 KB in JPEG format.

What is the Delhi Police signature size requirement?

The signature image must be between 10 KB to 20 KB in JPEG format. The required dimensions are approximately 4.0 cm (width) x 2.0 cm (height).

Can I wear spectacles or caps in the Delhi Police photo?

No! Photographs with spectacles, caps, or dark glasses are strictly prohibited and will be rejected outright. Both ears must be clearly visible.

How do I resize my photo for the Delhi Police form?

Upload your photo to our Resizer tool. It automatically crops, resizes, and compresses your image to the strict guidelines.

Which image formats work best with Delhi Police Photo Resizer?

JPG and JPEG usually give the smallest file sizes for photos. PNG is better for logos, screenshots, and transparent images, while WebP can be useful when a website or form supports it.

Will the image quality change after processing?

Some quality change is possible whenever an image is compressed, resized, cropped, or converted. Use the preview and keep the original file until you are satisfied with the downloaded result.

Why is my output not exactly the requested size?

Exact output size depends on image detail, dimensions, color depth, and format. The tool targets the requested setting, but highly detailed photos may need extra compression or smaller dimensions.

Can I use the result for online forms or documents?

Yes, but always compare the downloaded file with the form requirements for size, format, dimensions, and background rules. Government and exam portals may reject files that do not match their exact instructions.

Strict Target File Size

Ensures the downloaded file stays within the portal's min/max KB window.

Name & Date Overlay

⚠️ Technical Limitations & Best Practices

Exam boards periodically update technical specifications. Always verify the latest requirements against the official advertisement notification. Always maintain a backup of your original source files. Output metrics (such as exact byte size and visual sharpness) are determined by input quality, color depth, and complexity.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Q: Exam portal rejects the photo for invalid dimensions

Solution: Verify you selected the correct exam preset and did not manually alter pixel dimensions after export.

Q: Photo is rejected for face size

Solution: Recrop the image so your face and upper shoulders occupy at least 70–80% of the vertical frame.

What background color is accepted for government exams?

A plain white or smooth light-grey background is standard for nearly all Indian competitive exams.

What file format do exam portals accept?
