The Complete Guide to Government Exam Photo & Signature Sizes (2026)

Applying for government jobs in India means navigating a maze of portals — each with uniquely frustrating upload rules. Whether you're applying for SSC, IBPS, SBI, RRB, UPSC, or defence forces, failing to meet exact visual parameters causes instant disqualification. This guide covers every major exam, verified from official notifications as of June 2026.

1. SSC Exams (CGL, CHSL, MTS, GD) — Standardised Rules ↗ SSC Official

The Staff Selection Commission operates on the OTR portal. Across CGL, CHSL, MTS, GD Constable, JE, and Steno, all rules are standardised. Your passport photograph must be 200×230 px and weigh between 20 KB and 50 KB on a solid white background. SSC enforces zero tolerance against spectacles or caps. Signatures must be in running hand (no block capitals) on white paper — 140×60 px and strictly between 10 KB and 20 KB.

2. Banking Exams (IBPS, SBI, RBI) ↗ IBPS Official ↗ SBI Careers

Banking portals share similar photo specs (200×230 px, 20–50 KB, white BG) but add the Left Thumb Impression and Handwritten Declaration. The declaration must be written in English on white paper with black ink, scaled to ~800×400 px (50–100 KB). Make sure your thumb impression is on plain white paper with no smudging — it should be 240×240 px.

3. Railway Exams (RRB NTPC, Group D, ALP) ↗ RRB Official

RRB requires 320×240 px photographs (35mm×45mm physical) between 30 KB and 70 KB. The critical difference: RRB often mandates your printed Name and Date of capture at the bottom of the photo as a white strip. Our tool overlays this text automatically. Signatures must be 140×60 px, between 10 KB and 40 KB.

4. Defence Exams: The Slate Rule Explained ↗ Agniveer Army ↗ Agniveer Navy

Defence exams are the most stringent. Agniveer Army needs a 200×200 px square photo (up to 50 KB) with plain white background. Navy and Airforce enforce the mandatory Black Slate rule — you must hold a black slate on your chest with name and date in white chalk. The Airforce additionally requires a Sky Blue background and a specific 100×120 px dimension. Our tool handles all this digitally: it removes your background via API, applies Sky Blue, and draws a perfectly aligned black slate overlay on your chest.

5. UPSC (CSE, NDA, CDS, CAPF) ↗ UPSC Official

UPSC uses a distinct high-resolution square format on its OTR portal. Your photograph must be 350–1000 px on both sides (we target 550×550 px), weighing between 20 KB and 300 KB on a white background. Your face must occupy 3/4 of the frame. For CSE, embed your name and date at the bottom. Signatures also use a square aspect ratio (500×500 px, up to 300 KB).

6. NEET UG/PG and CTET ↗ NTA Official

NTA-conducted exams like NEET and CTET follow a 200×230 px photo format (10–100 KB) with white background. A critical rule: your name must be printed below the photograph during the actual exam. For signatures, NTA requires 140×60 px at 4–30 KB — this is a significantly lighter limit than banking exams, so careful compression is needed.

Why Binary Search Compression Matters

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about resizing photos, signatures, and documents for Indian government exams.

Yes, provided the base photo has a plain white background and you are not wearing spectacles or a cap. However, you must use this tool to resize separately for each exam — SSC needs 200×230 px while Railways needs 320×240 px, and the KB limits also differ. Select each exam from the dropdown and download separate files.
When enabled, your photo is sent to the remove.bg API which strips the background in seconds. The tool then fills it with the exact colour required by your exam — pure white for SSC/Banking/Railway, or Sky Blue for Agniveer Airforce. If the API limit is reached, the original photo is used and you are notified.
Signatures are rejected for three main reasons: (1) signed in capital block letters — all major portals explicitly require running/cursive handwriting; (2) the ink is too light — always use a dark black pen on white paper; (3) the aspect ratio is wrong — our tool pads the signature inside the correct canvas size so it never distorts or gets squashed.
Yes. Our tool draws a realistic black slate with your name and date directly over the chest area of your photo, fulfilling the mandate without a physical board. Thousands of candidates have used this approach. However, if your specific recruitment unit has issued a clarification requiring a physical slate, follow their instructions.
No. All cropping, resizing, background-filling, overlay drawing, and compression happens entirely inside your browser's local memory. Nothing is stored or transmitted — except when you enable the optional background removal API, which temporarily sends your photo to remove.bg for processing. You can disable this toggle if you prefer full local processing.
UPSC OTR accepts square photographs between 350×350 and 1000×1000 pixels. We target 550×550 px as the optimal size. The file must be between 20 KB and 300 KB in JPEG format with a white background. Critically, your face must occupy at least 3/4 of the frame — a full-length or half-body photo will be rejected.
NEET (NTA) uses the same 200×230 px dimensions as SSC, but the file size range is wider: 10 KB to 100 KB (SSC is strictly 20–50 KB). The key NEET requirement is that your name must appear printed at the bottom of your photograph during the exam itself. The signature limit is also much lighter: 4–30 KB vs SSC's 10–20 KB. Always select "NEET" from the dropdown to get the correct compression target.
Blurriness usually means your original photo resolution is too low to scale up to the required dimensions without loss. Start with a photo of at least 400×500 px at high quality (taken in good lighting, not a screenshot or WhatsApp-compressed image). Our binary-search compressor preserves maximum quality at the required KB limit, but it cannot recover detail that wasn't in the original.
Yes, fully. The tool works on any modern smartphone browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox) without installing an app. Tap the upload zone to open your camera roll or file manager, select your photo, and download the processed file directly. Processing speed depends on your device — expect 2–5 seconds on modern phones.
Agniveer Airforce (Vayu) mandates a Sky Blue background — not plain white like all other exams. The photo must be 100×120 px and under 50 KB. You must also hold a black slate on your chest with your name and date written in white chalk. Select "Defence: Agniveer Airforce" in our tool — it will automatically remove your existing background, apply Sky Blue (#87CEEB), and overlay the digital slate.
