Passport-Style Photo Resizer
Your online application photo is captured live
For the RRB ALP online application you do not upload a photo file. Your photograph is captured live through your webcam or phone camera at the time of registration on rrbapply.gov.in. Your signature, on the other hand, is uploaded as a file and must meet the specification below.
A separate passport-style photo may still be useful if it is requested in later instructions or for your own records. Always follow the requirements stated for the relevant stage, and confirm every figure on this page against the current CEN before you submit.
RRB ALP Signature Size & Requirements (CEN 01/2026 — Online Application)

| Signature Type | Candidate's own running handwritten signature |
| Ink | Black ink |
| Paper | Plain white paper |
| File Format | JPG / JPEG |
| File Size | 30 KB to 49 KB |
| Minimum Dimensions | At least 140 × 60 pixels |
| Minimum Resolution | 100 DPI |

Do not use block letters, capital letters, or disjointed letters in place of your normal running signature — a mismatched style can be rejected at scrutiny.
Important
These specifications are based on CEN 01/2026. Requirements can change with a new RRB ALP notification, so always confirm against the current CEN before submitting your application.
Resize Your Signature for RRB ALP
Upload your signature into the tool above, crop the unnecessary white space, adjust the dimensions and file size to the required range, preview the result, and download the final JPG for your RRB ALP application. If you only need to trim the edges first, use the crop signature online tool and then return here to set the size.
How to Prepare Your RRB ALP Signature
- 1
Sign clearly
Write your normal signature on plain white paper using black ink. Use your natural running handwriting and avoid block or capital letters.
- 2
Capture a clear image
Scan the signature at the required resolution, or take a sharp, evenly lit photo with a phone. Avoid glare, shadows, and blur.
- 3
Crop and resize
Remove excess white space while keeping the full signature visible. Resize to at least 140 × 60 pixels and adjust the file size to the 30–49 KB range.
- 4
Preview before uploading
Check the final image for clarity, dimensions, file size, JPG format, and centring within the 35 × 20 mm box before uploading it to your RRB ALP application.
Preparing a Passport-Style Photo (General Use)
| Check | General Preparation |
|---|---|
| Dimensions | Use the dimensions specifically requested for that stage |
| Format | JPG / JPEG if required |
| Background | Follow the relevant notice or instruction |
| Photo | Use a recent, clear image |
| Accessories | Follow the stage-specific instructions |
The 200 × 230 px preset in this tool is a general passport-style image option — it is not the CEN 01/2026 online application photo requirement, since that application uses live photo capture. Use it only if a later stage or your own records specifically call for a passport-style photo, and always follow the exact dimensions given in that instruction. If you need to build one from scratch, the passport size photo maker can help you frame it before you match the requested size.
How to Prepare a Passport-Style Photo
- 1
Take a clear photo
Use a recent, well-lit photo against a plain background as instructed.
- 2
Crop to passport proportions
Crop the image so your face is centred and clearly visible.
- 3
Resize and compress
Resize and adjust the file size to match whatever is requested for that stage.
- 4
Preview and download
Check the final image for clarity and correct sizing before saving or printing.
Preparing Your Live Photo for the RRB ALP Online Application
Since the RRB ALP online application captures your photograph live, prepare for the camera step instead of a file:
- Use a webcam or your phone's front camera when prompted.
- Wear non-white, preferably dark-coloured clothing for contrast against the background.
- Do not wear a cap, mask, or glasses unless you are instructed otherwise.
- Sit or stand at eye level with the camera, facing straight ahead with a neutral expression.
- Keep your entire face and head clearly visible and centred in the frame.
- Follow the instructions shown during registration for anything not covered here.
RRB ALP Signature Upload Errors
| Common Problem | Likely Cause | What to Do |
|---|---|---|
| File size too large | Image is above the 49 KB limit. | Compress the image until it falls within 30–49 KB. |
| File size too small | Excessive compression pushed the file below 30 KB. | Start with a clearer source and compress carefully. |
| Wrong dimensions | Image is smaller than 140 × 60 pixels. | Resize to at least the minimum dimensions. |
| Low resolution | Source image is below 100 DPI. | Rescan or recapture at the required resolution. |
| Unsupported format | Image is not JPG/JPEG. | Convert to JPG/JPEG before uploading. |
| Block or capital letters used | Signature style doesn't match the running-handwriting requirement. | Sign again in your normal running style. |
| Signature cropped | Trimming removed part of the signature. | Leave a small margin and confirm nothing is cut off. |
| Signature looks unclear | Over-compression or a poor original image. | Start with a clearer original and avoid excessive compression. |
If you are not sure whether the final file matches every figure, check it against the requirements with the signature size checker before you upload.
Keep Your Application Images Consistent
Use your normal handwritten signature consistently, and follow the photograph instructions given for each stage of the recruitment process. Requirements can change between the online application, examination, and later stages, so check the relevant official instructions each time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the RRB ALP signature size 2026?
As per CEN 01/2026, the RRB ALP signature must be at least 140 × 60 pixels, saved as JPG/JPEG, between 30 KB and 49 KB, at a minimum of 100 DPI.
Does RRB ALP require a photo upload for the online application?
No. The RRB ALP online application uses live photo capture through your webcam or phone camera during registration. There is no photo file to prepare for that step.
Do I need a 200×230 px photo for RRB ALP Document Verification?
The CEN 01/2026 online application uses live photo capture rather than a photo-file upload. If a passport-style photograph is requested at a later stage, follow the dimensions and specifications stated in that stage's official instructions. The 200×230 px preset in this tool is a general passport-style preparation option and should not replace an official requirement.

Between 30 KB and 49 KB, as specified in CEN 01/2026. Always confirm against the current notification before applying.

No. RRB ALP requires your normal running handwritten signature. Block, capital, or disjointed letters may be rejected at scrutiny.
Why was my RRB ALP signature rejected?
Common reasons include incorrect file size, dimensions below the minimum, an unsupported format, low resolution, or a signature written in block or capital letters instead of running handwriting.

Yes. This tool works in modern mobile browsers without needing to install any app.
Is this RRB ALP Resizer free?
