How to Resize Photos and Signatures for BPSC/JSSC Forms Without Losing Quality

How to Resize Photos and Signatures for BPSC/JSSC Forms Without Losing Quality (2026 Guide)

If you are applying for BPSC, JSSC, or SSC exams, the most frustrating part is uploading your photo and signature. State commission portals will instantly reject your file if it does not meet strict pixel and KB requirements. Typically, BPSC and JSSC require a passport photo between 20 KB to 50 KB (approx. 200 x 230 pixels) and a signature between 10 KB to 20 KB (approx. 140 x 60 pixels).

Here is how to resize your documents perfectly on your smartphone or PC without blurring the image.

Step-by-Step Guide Using Free Web Tools

1. Avoid WhatsApp: Never use WhatsApp to transfer your scanned photo to your PC, as it compresses the file and destroys the quality. Use email or a USB cable.
2. Use a Dedicated Tool: Open your browser and go to a free, exam-specific tool like SimpleImageResizer.com or Testbook's Crop Photo Online Tool.
3. Set the Exact Pixels:
   • Upload your photo. Uncheck "Keep Aspect Ratio."
   • For Photograph: Set the width to 200 pixels and height to 230 pixels.
   • For Signature: Set the width to 140 pixels and height to 60 pixels.
4. Compress to Target KB: Set the maximum file size. Keep the photo around 40 KB (to stay safely under the 50 KB limit) and the signature around 15 KB.
5. Format: Ensure the output format is selected strictly as JPEG/JPG. PNG or PDF formats will be rejected by the JSSC and BPSC portals.
6. Download: Click resize and download your files. They are now 100% ready for upload.

Pro Tip: Your signature must be done with a black or dark blue ink pen on plain white paper. Photos older than 3 months with distracting backgrounds are the leading cause of form rejection.
