What the MAH B.P.Ed CET KB limits mean in bytes
The MAH B.P.Ed CET photo range of 20 KB–50 KB is 20,480 to 50,000 bytes if you want a file that passes whether the portal counts 1,000 or 1,024 bytes per KB: a window of 29,520 bytes to aim for.
The MAH B.P.Ed CET signature range of 10 KB–20 KB is 10,240 to 20,000 bytes if you want a file that passes whether the portal counts 1,000 or 1,024 bytes per KB: a window of 9,760 bytes to aim for.
Estimated JPG file size for MAH B.P.Ed CET uploads
Estimated from sizes measured with sharp 0.35.5 / libvips 8.18.7 on public-domain sample images (31 October 2026), interpolated to each target size. Your own scan can land 30-50% either side, which is why the tool measures the real file.
| Upload | Pixel size used | Quality 60 | Quality 75 | Quality 85 | Quality 95 | Limit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Photo | 200 × 230 px | 8.0 KB | 10.2 KB | 13.1 KB | 21.9 KB | 20 KB–50 KB |
| Signature | 140 × 60 px | 0.9 KB | 1.1 KB | 1.5 KB | 2.7 KB | 10 KB–20 KB |
Will the MAH B.P.Ed CET photo fit the limit?
For the MAH B.P.Ed CET photo at 200 × 230 px, even quality 95, the highest setting estimated here, stays under 50 KB at about 21.9 KB, and quality 85 (13.1 KB) misses the 20 KB minimum.
An ink-on-white scan for the MAH B.P.Ed CET signature at 140 × 60 px comes to about 1.5 KB at JPG quality 85 and 2.7 KB even at quality 95, under the 10 KB minimum, so raise the pixel size if the form allows it or let the tool pad the file up to 10 KB (tick the padding option under "Fit, background and padding"; it is off by default).
