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
- Generic resize tools either over-compress (ugly, pixelated) or under-compress (file rejected as too large).
- Our engine uses a binary search algorithm — it narrows down quality between 0.01 and 1.0 in 8 recursive steps to hit as close to the maximum KB limit as possible.
- Result: the sharpest possible image that still passes the portal's file size check.
- All processing runs in your browser's memory — your documents never leave your device.
