UP Police Constable Photo Specifications 2026
Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment and Promotion Board (UPPRB) is one of the few recruiting bodies on this site that specifies its photo requirement directly in pixels rather than millimetres — a genuine difference from SSC, IBPS, and most central exams, and worth knowing before you start preparing your photo. With 32,000+ vacancies in recent UP Police Constable recruitment drives, this is also one of the largest single recruitment exercises covered on this site.
| Parameter | Required Value | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Dimensions | 180 × 225 pixels (≈47.6mm × 59.5mm at 96 DPI) | Exact — specified in pixels |
| File Format | JPEG / JPG only | Required |
| File Size Range | 20 KB – 50 KB | Strict — both a minimum and a maximum |
| Background | White or light-grey, preferred | Required |
| Photo Age | Recent (taken within 6 months) | Required |
| Shadows | None on face or background | Required |
UP Police Constable Signature Specifications 2026
The signature requirement carries a rule genuinely distinct from most other exams on this site — UPPRB explicitly rejects block-letter signatures:
| Parameter | Required Value |
|---|---|
| Dimensions | 200 × 80 pixels (≈52.9mm × 21.2mm at 96 DPI) |
| File Format | JPEG / JPG only |
| File Size Range | 5 KB – 20 KB |
| Signature Style | Running/cursive handwriting only — block letters not accepted |
| Background | Plain white paper |
Unlike most exams where signature style isn't explicitly policed, UP Police Constable's official instructions specifically disallow block letter (capital, printed-style) signatures. Sign the way you'd sign a bank cheque or a document — in your normal running handwriting — not the way you might print your name for legibility. This is worth double-checking before you scan and upload, since it's easy to default to block letters without realising it's disallowed.

Open UP Police Resizer →Why UP Police Specifies Pixels, Not Millimetres
Central exams like SSC, UPSC, and IBPS typically state photo requirements in millimetres because the historical convention traces back to physical passport-photo printing standards. UPPRB's own notification, by contrast, gives the requirement directly in pixel dimensions — a more web-native way of specifying it, since the portal ultimately just checks pixel width and height on upload regardless of how the number is phrased. Our resizer converts the pixel spec to the equivalent millimetre size using the standard 96 DPI web conversion (the same one documented on our general resizing guide), so the output still lands exactly on 180×225 pixels regardless of which unit you think in.
UP Police Constable's Physical Verification Stages
UP Police Constable recruitment doesn't end at the written exam — shortlisted candidates go through Document Verification (DV) and a Physical Standard Test (PST) in person. Your application photo is checked against your face at these stages, on top of the usual online-upload validation, so it's worth treating this photo as something that needs to hold up to in-person scrutiny — genuinely recent and recognisable — not just technically within spec.
Common Mistakes With UP Police Constable Photos
Do's
- Double-check whether your editing tool's output is measured in pixels or millimetres before uploading — UPPRB's own spec is in pixels (180×225)
- Sign in your normal running handwriting, not block letters
- Keep the photo genuinely recent, since DV/PST stages check it against your current appearance in person
- Confirm the file lands within the 20KB–50KB range for the photo and 5KB–20KB for the signature — both have a floor as well as a ceiling
Don'ts
- Don't sign in block/capital letters — this specific exam rejects that style
- Don't assume a photo prepared for a different exam's mm-based spec will land on the correct pixel dimensions here — verify with our resizer instead of eyeballing it
- Don't use a photo with visible shadows on the face or background
- Don't compress the file so aggressively that it falls under the 20KB minimum — an under-sized file is rejected just like an oversized one

UP पुलिस कांस्टेबल फोटो साइज़ — हिंदी में जानकारी
