APSC Photo and Signature Size Maker

Unlike most commissions that cap the photo at 50 KB, the APSC form gives a wider window, often quoted at 50 to 200 KB. That sounds generous, but supporting documents have their own strict greyscale-PDF rule, so it pays to know which file follows which.

Output is JPG, resized to your pixels and kept at or under the max KB. If a minimum is set, the file is padded up to it. Always confirm the exact rules in the official notification.

What the Assam Civil Services form expects

The Assam Public Service Commission runs the Combined Competitive Examination for the Assam Civil Service and Assam Police Service, along with engineering and other departmental posts. The form is filled online on the APSC portal.

The photo and signature are commonly cited at a file size between roughly 50 and 200 KB as JPG, on a light or white background, with the photo taken within the last three months. Pixel dimensions are not published officially, so any exact pixel figure you see on a resizer site is a guess.

The tool above opens locked to the APSC spec: 200 × 250 px at 50–200 KB, so the export already matches.

Because the official numbers are stated as KB ranges rather than fixed pixels, follow the KB caps and format in your specific notification and treat pixel values as approximate.

Keep the photo and the documents separate

For the photo and signature, resize to a sensible passport shape and compress to a KB size so each sits inside the 50 to 200 KB window. A recent front-facing photo with both ears visible is the safe choice.

Supporting documents are different: APSC asks for them as PDFs up to 4 MB, scanned at 200 DPI in greyscale, so do not treat them like the photo. Keep the colour JPG for the photo and the greyscale PDF for certificates.

If your photo lands under the lower limit after compressing, increase a too-small file to bring it back over the floor. The tool resizes and compresses only and cannot change the background.

Frequently asked questions

Both are commonly cited at roughly 50 to 200 KB as JPG. APSC does not publish pixel dimensions, so use a standard passport shape and confirm the KB caps in your current notification.

APSC quotes a wider 50 to 200 KB window than the 50 KB cap many commissions use. It gives more room for a clear photo, but the file must still be JPG and within that range.

Supporting documents go in as PDFs up to 4 MB, scanned at 200 DPI in greyscale, which is separate from the colour JPG photo and signature. Do not mix the two formats.

No. APSC publishes KB ranges, not pixel dimensions, so the pixel figures on third-party sites are estimates. Follow the KB caps in your notification instead.
