Drop your photo, get a JPEG inside the Bihar Public Service Commission portal’s own photo window — then fit the two signatures (English and Hindi) its upload step requires in a second pass. Everything runs in your browser; nothing leaves your device.
Bihar Public Service Commission applications — the Combined Competitive Examination, judicial services, teacher and departmental recruitments — run through a One Time Registration account on bpsconline.bihar.gov.in, and the upload rules on this page were read from that portal’s own published application code (July 2026), word for word as the portal displays them to candidates. The photograph: “Size of photograph must be less than 35 kb”, width between 150 and 220 pixels, height between 250 and 320 pixels. The signature — and here BPSC is unusual — is two uploads, not one: an English signature and a Hindi signature, each less than 20 kb at 250–320 pixels wide by 150–220 high (landscape). The portal’s own warning is blunt: “If your photo is not identifiable then your application form will [be] rejected.” This page presets the photo: 200×300 pixels — inside both axes of the window, at passport-like 2:3 — with a 34 KB target, under “35 kb” whichever way the server counts a kilobyte.
An honest heads-up most resize tools skip entirely: in the current OTR flow the photograph is typically captured live by webcam, not picked from disk. The commission’s Integrated 72nd CCE advertisement tells candidates to apply from a system with a good-quality webcam, in sufficient light, against a white or light background — and its Step 6 describes capturing a live photo, then uploading the two signatures. The portal’s code carries instructions for both paths (the live capture enforces the same <35 kb, 150–220×250–320 numbers), so if your screen shows a camera pane, prepare the background and lighting rather than a file — and use this page for what is always an upload: the two signatures, and your documents.
Every candidate uploads a signature twice — once signed in English, once in Hindi — and each file faces the same gate: under 20 kb, 250–320 wide, 150–220 high. Sign both in ink on white paper, photograph them, and run each through this page with Exact size set to 300x180 and the target set to 14kb — why 14 and not 19 is explained in the next section. If your scan has grey paper or shadows, pass it through the signature cleanup tool first: it finds the ink, whitens the background, and hands back a clean JPEG ready for the final resize.
BPSC’s own 72nd CCE advertisement states the signature spec twice, differently, and both differ from the portal. Its pre-application checklist says signatures must be “.jpg/jpeg, maximum 15KB, dimension 220*100 pixel”; six pages later its Step 6 says 20kb with width 150–220, height 250–320 — which is the photo’s pixel window pasted into the signature sentence. The portal itself displays <20 kb at 250–320×150–220. The pixel conflict is unresolvable (a 220×100 file fails the portal’s 250-pixel minimum width), and the portal is what runs the check — so use the portal’s dimensions. The byte conflict, though, can be satisfied on all counts at once: a 300×180 signature at 14 KB is under the checklist’s 15KB and the portal’s 20 kb, at no visible quality cost for a signature. That’s why this page suggests 14kb, not 19. If the upload screen in your own account shows different numbers, believe the screen.
The same advertisement’s checklist requires every supporting certificate — caste, domicile, qualification, the lot — as a scanned .pdf of at most 100 KB each. A phone scan saved as PDF is routinely several hundred kilobytes to a few megabytes, so this trips more applications than the photo does. PixFit’s image → PDF under 100 KB page fits a photographed document straight into a compliant one-page PDF, and compress PDF to 100 KB shrinks an existing scan — both in your browser, nothing uploaded.
Photo and signatures are Step 6 of the OTR profile — the last step before Lock Profile, and the commission is explicit that after locking, no correction or change to any entry is possible, while the list of advertisements you can actually apply to only appears after the lock. So the moment to verify all three images — identifiable face, readable signatures, right sizes — is before you tick the confirmation box, not after. One profile then serves every BPSC advert; the 72nd CCE preliminary exam (originally 26 July 2026) is currently postponed with a new date to be announced, so profiles are being made and reused right now.
Search results for this exact task, read in July 2026: one tool sells the “official size” as a 20–100KB window; another resizes the photo to 200×230 at 10–50 KB with a 140×60 signature — IBPS’s boxes, a different recruiter entirely; a third offers 250×250 within 25KB plus a 220×100 signature (the advert checklist’s number — which the portal’s own instruction contradicts); a fourth targets 20–50 KB; a fifth simply sells “15KB to 25KB”. Five confident specs, none matching what the portal displays — and not one mentions the webcam capture or the second signature. When a guide and the portal disagree, the portal wins: it runs the check.
Same letters, different country: Bangladesh’s Public Service Commission runs BCS recruitment through Teletalk portals with an exact 300×300 / 300×80 spec and a facial-recognition check — covered on our Bangladesh government jobs page. If you searched “BPSC photo resize” and BCS is what you meant, that page has the verified numbers.
Registration and applications happen only at bpsconline.bihar.gov.in, with notices and advertisements on bpsc.bihar.gov.in. A photo and two signatures tied to your government-job profile shouldn’t detour through a resizer’s server: PixFit runs entirely in your browser — the images never leave your device — and the re-encode strips EXIF metadata (including GPS) as a side effect. Applying to other commissions too? See UPPSC, JKPSC, OPSC and the full verified table.
Spec source: the candidate-facing upload instructions shipped in BPSC’s own online application portal (bpsconline.bihar.gov.in, read July 2026) and the Integrated 72nd Combined (Preliminary) Competitive Examination advertisement dated 05-05-2026 on bpsc.bihar.gov.in, whose internal contradictions are described above. These numbers can change — if the upload screen in your account disagrees, believe the portal.
