BPSC Photo and Signature Size 2026: KB, Pixels, Format
For the BPSC Integrated 72nd CCE (2026), you do not upload a photo: it is captured live by webcam during profile creation. You upload one English and one Hindi signature as JPG/JPEG. The advertisement gives two limits (15KB at 220x100 px in one place, 20KB in another), so keep each signature under 15KB. Certificates go in as PDF up to 100KB.

Source: BPSC advertisement for the Integrated 72nd Combined (Preliminary) Competitive Examination, published May 2026 on bpsc.bihar.gov.in (online application 07.05.2026 to 31.05.2026). The advertisement is in Hindi; the checklist before the application steps says signatures up to 15KB at 220x100 px, while "Step 6" of profile creation says up to 20KB with width 150-220 px and height 250-320 px.
Make both signature files with the signature resizer: it whitens the paper, crops the ink and lets you set the pixel size and a KB ceiling. Keep the photo resizer handy for other BPSC posts that ask for an uploaded photo.

Which signature size should you use?
The two lines in the same advertisement do not agree, so aim for a file that passes the stricter one. A JPG under 15KB is also under 20KB, so size is easy. The pixel sizes conflict outright (220x100 is wide and short; 150-220 by 250-320 is tall), so start with 220x100 px, which the checklist names exactly, and if the upload screen rejects it, follow the size the screen asks for. Whatever the portal accepts on the day is what counts.
Sign your Hindi signature the way you normally sign in Hindi. Do not write your name in Devanagari block letters just for this form if that is not how you sign.
Step by step: BPSC profile and application
- Complete One Time Registration (OTR) on bpsconline.bihar.gov.in with a working email ID and mobile number. Candidates who registered on the old portal must do the OTR again.
- Continue through the DigiLocker (Meri Pehchan) screen, or use the browser Back button to skip it and go to the application portal.
- Fill the profile steps: personal, address, other, qualification and experience information, saving each one.
- At Step 6, allow camera access and capture your live photo against a white or light wall in good light.
- Upload the English and Hindi signature JPGs, tick the declaration and click Submit and Lock Profile.
- Open the New Application tab, choose the advertisement, pay the fee and submit the application.

Getting certificates under 100KB
The advertisement asks for all relevant certificates and documents to be uploaded as PDF in the place given in the form, each as a scanned copy of up to 100KB. Scan each certificate on its own, in black and white or greyscale if colour is not needed, at a modest resolution. A single page certificate scanned at around 150 to 200 DPI in greyscale usually compresses well under 100KB without becoming unreadable. If you already have the certificate in DigiLocker, you can link it through the OAMS consent screen instead of scanning it. Before you submit, open each PDF on your phone and zoom in on the marks and dates: if you cannot read them, the verifying officer will not either. The compress PDF to 100KB tool can shrink a scan that is just over the limit.
Things you cannot change later
The advertisement is strict about a few points. Name, father's name, mother's name, gender, Aadhaar and date of birth entered in OTR cannot be changed afterwards. Once the profile is locked and you apply to an advertisement, the details entered cannot be corrected. Only one OTR per candidate is allowed; more than one can get the application rejected. There is no need to post a hard copy of the form to the Commission.
Check your webcam before you reach Step 6. If the laptop has no camera or a very poor one, use another computer. A dark or cluttered background is the most common reason a live photo turns out unusable.
Is it the same for BPSC TRE and other posts?
The TRE 4.0 teacher recruitment advertisement (No. 15/2026) uses the same profile flow: live webcam photo, then one English and one Hindi signature up to 20KB. Other BPSC advertisements can differ, so read the one you are applying under. If you are applying for teacher recruitment, the BPSC TRE 4.0 application checklist covers that drive in detail.
Common mistakes
- Uploading a signature above 15KB, or as PNG instead of JPG/JPEG.
- Uploading only an English signature and forgetting the Hindi one.
- Starting the live photo step in a dim room or against a patterned wall.
- Skipping a fresh OTR because you had registered on the old BPSC portal.
- Uploading certificate scans over 100KB instead of compressing them to PDF under the limit.
