RRB Photo and Signature Size Maker

Railway recruitment runs through a single portal for all the RRBs, but the photo rules differ by exam. The NTPC form takes an uploaded studio photo, while the latest Group D cycle captures the photo live, so what you prepare depends on which one you are applying for.

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.

NTPC and Group D, two different photo steps

The Railway Recruitment Boards run their exams as centralised notifications on one apply portal. NTPC covers non-technical posts at graduate and 12th level, like Station Master and clerks, while Group D fills level-1 posts like Track Maintainer and Pointsman at 10th-pass level with a physical efficiency test.

For RRB NTPC you upload a recent colour passport photo, around 35 by 45 mm, at 20 to 50 KB as JPG on a white background, taken in a studio rather than as a selfie. The signature is about 140x60 pixels at 10 to 40 KB.

RRB Photo and Signature Size Maker

The latest Group D cycle instead captures your photo live through your webcam or phone camera, so there is no photo file to resize for that exam. Its signature is still uploaded, commonly at 30 to 49 KB as a JPG.

Prepare your railway files

For an NTPC photo, resize to the passport shape and compress to a KB size so it fits 20 to 50 KB. Size the signature the same way to its own window, signing in running hand with a black pen, not in capitals.

RRB advises NTPC candidates to keep around a dozen copies of the same photograph for the various stages, and your photo and signature must match across every stage or you risk disqualification. The left thumb impression is taken at the exam venue, not on the form.

If a file is under its lower limit, increase a too-small file to clear the floor. The tool resizes and compresses only and cannot change the background.
