Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about DPI resolution.
DPI stands for "Dots Per Inch", which measures image resolution when printed. Portals like IBPS (200 DPI) and UPSC (300 DPI) require specific DPI settings so your photo and signature appear clear and legible on biometric verification rosters and admit cards.
Most modern smartphone cameras do not write physical print DPI metadata headers into JPEG files. In such cases, image viewers default to standard screen resolution (72 or 96 DPI). As long as your pixel dimensions and file size fall within notification limits, the portal will accept your photo.
No. The image header metadata is parsed locally within your browser using JavaScript typed arrays. Your files remain 100% private.
You can resize your image using our Photo Resizer or Image KB Reducer to match the exact pixel dimensions (e.g. 200x230 px at 200 DPI) required by the official recruitment notification.
