BPSC 2026 Photo, Signature & Document Upload Kit

Tools for BPSC

Official requirements

Common mistakes to avoid

• ⚠Using a photo above 50 KB: BPSC portal may accept the upload but downstream document verification flags oversized photo files.
• ⚠Blue background photo (passport-style from a studio): BPSC requires a white or light plain background, not the blue background common in India studio portraits.
• ⚠Uploading a PNG signature: some BPSC portal implementations require JPG for the signature slot; PNG uploads fail validation silently.
• ⚠Scanning documents on dark or shadow-heavy backgrounds: increases file size by 3× and can push a single-page certificate above 300 KB before compression.
• ⚠Using specs from a previous BPSC notification: BPSC updates upload requirements between CCE cycles — confirm against the latest notification PDF.

Frequently asked questions

Does BPSC 70th CCE have the same photo requirements as BPSC 69th CCE?

Usually yes — BPSC photo and signature specs have been consistent across recent CCE cycles at 20–50 KB and 10–40 KB respectively. However, confirm in the notification PDF for your specific exam before uploading.

Can I apply for BPSC with the same photo I used for UPSC CSE?

Only if the photo is within BPSC's size range. UPSC allows photos up to 200 KB; BPSC typically caps at 50 KB. If your UPSC photo file is 80–200 KB, you need to re-compress it for BPSC. The cropping and composition can stay the same.

What is the maximum file size for my caste certificate on the BPSC portal?

BPSC generally caps individual document uploads at 300 KB. Scan in grayscale at 150 DPI, compress with the PDF tool above, and you will hit this limit cleanly for a single-page certificate.

Why does the BPSC portal show "invalid file type" when I upload my signature?

The BPSC portal requires JPEG format for the signature slot. If you scanned to PNG or TIFF and are uploading that, it will fail. Use the compress-image tool above — it always outputs a genuine JPEG file.

How do I compress a 600 KB scanned certificate to under 300 KB without losing text clarity?

Use the PDF compressor above. If your scan is 600 KB it was probably scanned at 300 DPI color. The compressor converts to grayscale and reduces DPI — a single-page A4 text certificate compresses cleanly to 100–200 KB with all printed text remaining legible.

Does BPSC accept signatures in blue ink or only black?

BPSC notifications typically specify black or blue ink as acceptable for signatures. Black ink scans more crisply on a white background and compresses to a smaller file; if you have a choice, use black.
