Advertisement 52/2026 confirms a photo upload, a live photo and a signature written three times, but sends you to the portal's Photos and Signature instructions for file sizes, which could not be opened. The KB limits come from UPSC's Examination Notice 08/2026-CAPF for the same Common Application Form. No official pixel size was found.
The tool checks the file it makes against these numbers. A passing file is not a guarantee that the UPSC EPFO APFC portal will accept it.

Avoid mistakes
Why UPSC EPFO APFC photos get rejected
- The photo is outside 20 to 200 KB. Files that are too small are refused as well as files that are too big.
- The signature is outside 20 to 100 KB, or it is a photo of the whole page instead of a close crop of the signature.
- The face is too small, cut off at the top, or turned to one side.
- The background is dark, patterned or has shadows, or the photo is blurred, too dark or too bright.
- A selfie, a group photo, a photo of a printed photo, or an old photo was used.
- The file is a PNG, HEIC or PDF when the form wants JPG, or it was renamed instead of converted.
Tips for a clear photo and signature
- Stand in front of a plain white or light wall, facing a window, so the face is evenly lit without shadows.
- Keep the face straight and fill about three quarters of the photo height, from the top of the hair to the chin. Eyes open, mouth closed, no caps or dark glasses.
- Sign on plain white paper with a black or dark blue pen, press firmly, and photograph it from straight above in daylight.
- Crop closely around the signature or thumb mark. White space wastes the size limit and makes the mark look small.
- Use the same photo everywhere in the UPSC EPFO APFC application and keep a few prints; the same photo is often needed at the exam centre.
