UPPSC photo and signature size

The UPPSC form takes a photo of about 50 × 60 mm, at most 50 KB and a signature of about 60 × 30 mm, at most 30 KB, with no file type named.

UPPSC photo

JPG · under 50 KB (at most 50,000 bytes) · 50x60 mm at 200 DPI · white background

PixelFit aims at 50,000 bytes or less, so the file passes whether the form counts 1 KB as 1,000 or 1,024 bytes. 50x60 mm at 200 DPI is 394x472 pixels.

UPPSC upload specifications

Values for the UPPSC One Time Registration photo with signature, copied from UPPSC OTR: Guidelines for scanning photograph with signature, checked 31 October 2026; "not stated" means the source gives no figure for it.

Upload	Pixel size	Print size	File size	Format	Background
Photo	394 × 472 px at 200 DPI (computed; the tool uses this)	50 × 60 mm at 200 DPI	at most 50 KB	format not stated	white paper (photo pasted on it)
Signature	472 × 236 px at 200 DPI (computed; the tool uses this)	60 × 30 mm at 200 DPI	at most 30 KB	format not stated	not stated

UPPSC sizes in pixels and millimetres

Print sizes become pixels at a resolution (pixels = mm ÷ 25.4 × DPI); pixel sizes become print sizes the other way round. Computed for the UPPSC uploads at 200 and 300 DPI.

Upload	Aspect ratio	Megapixels	At 200 DPI	At 300 DPI
Photo	5:6 (print size)	0.42 MP at 300 DPI	394 × 472 px	591 × 709 px
Signature	2:1 (print size)	0.25 MP at 300 DPI	472 × 236 px	709 × 354 px

What the UPPSC KB limits mean in bytes

The UPPSC photo limit of 50 KB is 51,200 bytes when 1 KB = 1,024 bytes and 50,000 bytes when 1 KB = 1,000 bytes; a file of 50,000 bytes or less passes either way.

The UPPSC signature limit of 30 KB is 30,720 bytes when 1 KB = 1,024 bytes and 30,000 bytes when 1 KB = 1,000 bytes; a file of 30,000 bytes or less passes either way.

Estimated JPG file size for UPPSC 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	394 × 472 px	21.6 KB	27.6 KB	36.4 KB	63.3 KB	at most 50 KB
Signature	472 × 236 px	7.6 KB	10.5 KB	14.8 KB	28.7 KB	at most 30 KB

Will the UPPSC photo fit the limit?

For the UPPSC photo at 394 × 472 px (50 × 60 mm at 200 DPI), quality 91 (about 48.2 KB) is the highest setting that stays under 50 KB.

For the UPPSC signature at 472 × 236 px (60 × 30 mm at 200 DPI), even quality 95, the highest setting estimated here, stays under 30 KB at about 28.7 KB.

How to resize your photo for UPPSC

Take or scan the photo

Use a recent true colour photo (background: white paper (photo pasted on it)). Frame it in the 50 × 60 mm shape.

Drop the file into the tool at the top of this page. The "UPPSC photo" preset is already set to 50 × 60 mm and at most 50 KB, in a file type the source does not name (JPG is the safe choice).
Check the result

Read the before and after sizes: the UPPSC photo must end at or under 50,000 bytes. Download it.
Switch to the signature

Pick the "UPPSC signature" preset, set to 60 × 30 mm and at most 30 KB, and repeat with the signature file.
Upload and preview

Upload the files on the UPPSC form and check the preview before you submit; verify the figures with the official notice first.

What the UPPSC source also says

The photo is pasted on white paper, signed beside it and both are scanned, then cropped to the sizes above.
Signature: Signed in full inside the box; initials or capital letters are not accepted.

UPPSC compared with similar forms

Of these 5 forms, the UPPSC photo limit of 50 KB is the same for every form here that sets one; a file made for a stricter form usually passes a more generous one only if it also meets the minimum and the pixel size.

Form	Photo size	Photo file size	Signature file size
UPPSC (this page)	50 × 60 mm	at most 50 KB	at most 30 KB
TGPSC Departmental Tests	35 × 45 mm	at most 50 KB	at most 30 KB
IBPS PO	200 × 230 px (preferred)	20 KB–50 KB	10 KB–20 KB
ISRO ICRB	200 × 230 px (preferred)	20 KB–50 KB	10 KB–20 KB
