UP Police: photo and signature guide

UPPRPB runs each recruitment on its own application portal, and the photo and signature limits are written in that portal's instructions. A recent portal used the sizes below; yours may differ.

Official size and format

Photograph (recent portal example)JPEG/JPG, 35 x 45 mm, minimum 20 KB and maximum 50 KB.
Signature (recent portal example)JPEG/JPG, 35 x 15 mm, minimum 5 KB and maximum 20 KB.
DocumentsCertificates are uploaded after fee payment on the same portal, in the format and size its instructions list.

How to prepare the files with PDF Saathi Hub

  1. Read the photo, signature and document instructions on your recruitment's application portal first; note the KB and millimetre values.
  2. Prepare clear scans or straight photos of your passport photo and signature.
  3. In Photo / Sign KB, enter the minimum and maximum KB from your portal and create the JPEGs. Use the Photo Editor for cropping to the millimetre ratio.
  4. Upload through the portal linked from uppbpb.gov.in and check the preview before final submission.

UP Police constable, SI, jail warder and other recruitments have separate portals and notices. Never copy sizes from a different recruitment or an old blog post.

Note for this cycle

The UPPRPB website carries a notice/release section for each recruitment with the official advertisement and the link to its application portal. Start there, not from search results or forwarded links.

Official sources

These rules change between recruitment years and notices. The current official notice and the upload screen of your form are the final word; this guide is only a helper, not an official recruitment page.
