UPPSC Photo and Signature Size: Working Bands for UP Applicants (Free)
UP applicants juggle UPPSC alongside national exams, and its uploader publishes its own bands: the photo commonly lands around 20-50 KB with 4.5 x 3.5 cm framing, the signature around 10-20 KB.
Because UPPSC forms open in short windows, having both files ready before registration day is the whole game.
Working bands to prepare against
Photo: JPEG around 4.5 x 3.5 cm held between 20 and 50 KB, plain light background, face centred. Signature: dark ink on white, 10-20 KB, cropped tight.
- These are the working bands recent cycles used; the live notice on registration day wins.
Prepare a mid-band photo near 35 KB so portal re-encoding keeps you inside limits.
Two-minute preparation
- Crop to head-and-shoulders from your sharpest source.
- Run the 50 KB ladder preset and check the achieved size readout.
- Capture or reuse the signature scan; compress into 10-20 KB.
- Store both files together; registration asks for them in one sitting.
Where UPPSC uploads fail
Scans of photographs with grey backgrounds, phone photos with shadow gradients, and signatures photographed at an angle all fail reviewer checks even when weight passes.
Flat even light and a square-on crop fix all three before compression.
Reusing across UP portals
UP police, state PSC and university forms cluster around the same bands; one well-prepared pair serves several applications while notices align.
When a portal states different numbers, re-run the preset instead of editing the old export.
