Just like State PSC exams, every state's police recruitment board (UPPRB in Uttar Pradesh, CSBC in Bihar, Rajasthan Police, and others) is an independent body with its own portal and its own photo/signature rules. State Police Constable is also one of the largest recruitment categories in the country by sheer volume — UP Police Constable alone has run drives for 30,000+ vacancies. This guide covers the common pattern, one fully-verified example, and how to find your exact state's requirement.
Why State Police Requirements Differ From Central Exams
Central exams like SSC GD Constable are run by one national body with one consistent specification. State police recruitment works differently — UP, Bihar, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and every other state each run their own board, their own portal, and their own instructions. This means two things worth knowing before you start:
- A spec that worked for one state's police exam is not guaranteed to work for another state's — even the unit of measurement can differ (UP Police specifies pixels directly, for example, while other states may use millimetres)
- Requirements can also change between recruitment cycles for the same state, so don't assume a spec from a previous drive still applies
Three States We've Fully Verified
Of the state police exams we've checked, three have fully independently-verified specifications — and each turns out to have a genuinely distinct rule worth knowing before you apply:
| State | Photo | Signature | Distinct Rule |
|---|---|---|---|
| UP Police Constable | 180×225px, 20–50KB | 200×80px, 5–20KB | Specified in pixels; running handwriting only, block letters rejected |
| Bihar Police Constable | 35×45mm, max 50KB | 40×20mm, 15–25KB | Signature required in BOTH English and Hindi, as two separate uploads |
| MP Police Constable | 200×250px, 50–200KB | 300×100px, 30–100KB | Also pixel-native, but a different aspect ratio and KB range than UP — 2026 notification not yet released at time of writing |
See the dedicated guides for the complete breakdown of each, including ready-to-use resizer presets: UP Police Constable, Bihar Police Constable, and MP Police Constable.

UP Police →Rajasthan Police — What We're Not Guessing At
Rajasthan Police Constable is also among the most-searched state police recruitment drives in India — but as of this writing, Rajasthan Police's 2026 notification had not yet been released, and we couldn't independently confirm the signature dimensions from available sources (only a KB range, with some disagreement between sources on the photo's exact KB limit too). Rather than publish a guessed number, here's the honest state of things: we'll add a dedicated Rajasthan Police guide once the current notification is live and verifiable, and in the meantime, the Universal Compressor below works once you know your own exact requirement from the official notification.
How to Find Your Exact State Police Photo Requirement
- Download the official notification PDF from your state's police recruitment board website — never rely on a coaching institute's summary alone
- Search the PDF for the photo and signature specifications section, usually within the application instructions
- Note the exact dimensions (check whether it's given in pixels or millimetres), the KB limit, and any special rules like signature style
- Keep the notification PDF saved — most state portals reject an upload at the form level with an on-screen error if your file doesn't match
Resize your photo for any state police exam — free
Use the Universal Image Compressor to hit your state's specific KB limit, and the Crop tool to set the correct aspect ratio once you know your exact requirement.

Do's
- Always read your own state's current notification in full before taking or uploading a photo
- Check whether your state specifies dimensions in pixels or millimetres — don't assume
- Check whether your state has a specific signature-style rule (like UP Police's running-handwriting requirement) before you finalise your signature scan
- Save the notification PDF so you can re-check the exact spec during form filling
Don'ts
- Do not assume a photo prepared for one state's police exam will automatically work for a different state's exam
- Do not reuse a photo from a previous recruitment cycle without re-checking the current notification
- Do not guess at the KB limit — state police portals commonly enforce both a minimum and a maximum, and guessing wrong causes an upload rejection
State police recruitment requirements vary widely and change frequently — always verify against your own state's current official notification before applying. SarkariKagaz.pro is not affiliated with any state police recruitment board.
राज्य पुलिस कांस्टेबल फोटो साइज़ — हिंदी में जानकारी
बहुत से उम्मीदवार पूछते हैं — राज्य पुलिस कांस्टेबल फोटो का साइज़ कितना होना चाहिए? इसका सीधा जवाब देना मुश्किल है, क्योंकि हर राज्य के पुलिस भर्ती बोर्ड का अपना अलग नियम होता है — जैसे UP पुलिस अपना स्पेसिफिकेशन सीधे पिक्सल में देती है (180×225 फोटो, 200×80 सिग्नेचर), जबकि दूसरे राज्य मिलीमीटर में दे सकते हैं।
हमने अभी तक तीन राज्यों का स्पेसिफिकेशन पूरी तरह वेरीफ़ाई किया है — UP पुलिस, बिहार पुलिस (जहां सिग्नेचर अंग्रेज़ी और हिंदी दोनों में अलग-अलग अपलोड करनी होती है), और MP पुलिस। राजस्थान पुलिस का 2026 नोटिफिकेशन अभी जारी नहीं हुआ है, इसलिए वहां के सही नंबर जानने के लिए अपने राज्य का आधिकारिक नोटिफिकेशन ज़रूर देखें।
सही dimensions और KB लिमिट पता चलने के बाद, SarkariKagaz.pro का फ्री टूल इस्तेमाल करें — फोटो को अपने राज्य की लिमिट के अनुसार तुरंत बदलें। यह टूल पूरी तरह मुफ़्त है और आपकी फोटो कभी भी किसी सर्वर पर अपलोड नहीं होती।
