  These are the specifications given in the UPPSC OTR scanning instructions. If your specific recruitment advertisement provides different upload requirements, follow that advertisement.

UPPSC Photo Size Requirements

The UPPSC scanning instructions provide the following specifications for the photograph:

UPPSC specifies the photograph using physical dimensions and DPI rather than one fixed pixel size.

UPPSC Signature Size Requirements

The UPPSC OTR guide gives a separate size for the signature:

UPPSC states that the signature must be genuine and complete. Initials are not sufficient, and signatures written in CAPITAL LETTERS are not permitted.

If a particular UPPSC recruitment advertisement gives a different file-size limit, use the requirement stated in that advertisement.

Why UPPSC Uses CM and DPI Instead of Fixed Pixels

You may see websites showing fixed pixel dimensions for UPPSC, but the official scanning guide specifies the photo and signature using centimetres and DPI. At 200 DPI, the approximate pixel equivalents are:

• Photo: 5 × 6 cm ≈ 394 × 472 px
• Signature: 6 × 3 cm ≈ 472 × 236 px

These are calculated equivalents, not separate UPPSC pixel specifications. The primary reference remains 5 × 6 cm / 200 DPI for the photo and 6 × 3 cm / 200 DPI for the signature.

Current UPPSC OTR: Photo and Signature Upload

The current UPPSC OTR process provides an Upload Photo and Signature option for candidates to upload and save their images.

Some older UPPSC advertisements used a different workflow in which the photograph and signature were placed on a white sheet and scanned as a combined image.

How to Prepare Your UPPSC Photo and Signature

Crop unnecessary margins with our Crop Signature Online tool, resize to the exact UPPSC dimensions with the Signature Resizer, and bring the final file under the KB limit using the Image Compressor.

1. 1

   Start with clear originals

   Use a clear photograph and a clean signature image. Avoid starting with files that are already blurry or heavily compressed.

2. 2

   Crop the image

   Remove unnecessary margins while keeping the complete photograph or signature visible.

3. 3

   Set the UPPSC dimensions

   Prepare the photo at 5 × 6 cm and the signature at 6 × 3 cm, both at 200 DPI.

4. 4

   Reduce the file size

   Keep the photo under 50 KB and the signature under 30 KB. Avoid excessive compression that makes the photograph unclear or the signature difficult to read.

5. 5

   Preview both files

   Check that the photograph is clear and the complete signature is visible before downloading.

6. 6

   Save them separately

   Use simple filenames such as uppsc-photo.jpg and uppsc-signature.jpg, and keep the original files separate from the final upload versions.

Common UPPSC Photo & Signature Mistakes

UPPSC OTR: Documents and Details to Keep Ready

The photograph and signature are only part of the application process. Depending on the recruitment, you may also need:

• Educational qualification details
• Date of birth information
• Category and reservation details
• Domicile information, where applicable
• Experience details for posts that require them
• Relevant certificates mentioned in the advertisement
• Mobile number and email address

The exact requirements depend on the recruitment and post, so keep your original records available while completing the application.

UPPSC OTR Application Flow

A simplified view of the current process is: Create OTR → Verify Email & Mobile → Upload Photo & Signature → Enter Personal Details → Complete OTR → Select Advertisement → Authenticate With OTR → Complete Application → Preview & Submit.

Your OTR information is used when applying for advertised UPPSC posts, so check important personal information carefully before continuing.

Before You Submit Your UPPSC Application

Take a final look at your images and application details:

• Photo is clear and correctly prepared.
• Photo is below 50 KB.
• Signature is clear and below 30 KB.
• Photo dimensions are 5 × 6 cm.
• Signature dimensions are 6 × 3 cm.
• Both files use the required image format.
• Signature is complete and not written in capital letters.
• Correct files have been selected in the OTR portal.
• Personal details match your original records.
• Application preview has been checked.
• Submitted application and payment details are saved.

Keep Your UPPSC Application Files Together

After completing your application, keep the original photo, original signature, final UPPSC-ready versions of both, educational and category documents, the submitted application, and your payment confirmation together in one folder. Keeping the original and final versions separately makes it easier to create a fresh copy if another recruitment requires different specifications.
