India Post GDS photo and signature size, made for you

The India Post GDS form asks for a photograph and a signature as JPG files. Choose your picture, and Nova Forms saves it at the size in the table: a photo of 30 to 100 KB and a signature of 20 to 50 KB. It is made on your device, so nothing is uploaded.

India Post GDS sizes

These are the sizes in the notices we know of for India Post GDS (Gramin Dak Sevak). Exams change them from time to time, so always read the size on your own notice. If it is different, open the tool and choose Other size.

The July 2026 notification asks for a fresh photo on a plain white or light background, with your face filling most of the picture. It says not to upload a selfie or a scan of an old photo, and to look at the preview after you upload.

Photograph, if the portal says 50 KB 320 × 400 pixels (4:5) 30–50 KB Make it →

We read these sizes in the India Post GDS Online Engagement notification of Schedule-II (July 2026) and the user manual of the GDS online engagement portal.

How to make your India Post GDS pictures

  1. Choose a row

    Tap Make it on the picture you need in the table. Nova Forms opens already set to that size and KB.

  2. Choose your picture

    Pick a photo from your phone or computer, or take one with your phone camera. For a photo, move and zoom it until your face is in the frame.

  3. Make it

    Tap the button at the bottom. The file is made at the size in the table, and you see the size in KB.

  4. Save and upload

    Tap Save file, then upload that file on your form. Do the next picture the same way.

Why use this tool

The size is set for you

Each button opens the tool with the pixels and the KB limit already filled in. You can still change them.

Inside the KB range

The picture is made at the size in the table, and the file is kept between the smallest and the largest KB. A little invisible padding brings a small file up to the smallest.

A clean signature

A photo of your signature on paper becomes dark writing on a clean white background, cut to fit.

Made for phones

Big buttons, a camera button on phones, and a frame you move and zoom with your fingers.

Private

Everything happens in your browser, on your device. Your photo is not sent to a server.

Free

No watermark, no account, no limit on how many you make.

Tips for India Post GDS

Questions

What size is the India Post GDS photo?
The GDS Online Engagement notification of Schedule-II (July 2026) asks for a JPG or JPEG photo of 30 to 100 KB, recommended at 320 × 400 pixels (a 4:5 shape) and 72 to 150 dpi. Check your own notification, because the sizes can change with each schedule.
What size is the India Post GDS signature?
The same notification asks for a JPG or JPEG signature of 20 to 100 KB, recommended at 300 × 120 pixels (a 5:2 shape). The user manual of the portal says 20 to 50 KB for the signature. Nova Forms makes 20 to 50 KB, which is inside both.
The GDS portal FAQ says 50 KB for the photo and 20 KB for the signature. Which one is right?
That FAQ page is older and gives smaller limits. The July 2026 notification and the user manual give 30 to 100 KB for the photo. If your photo is refused for its size, use the second photo row in the table (30 to 50 KB), which is inside every version we saw. For the signature, read the limit on the upload screen of your own schedule.
Can I upload a selfie?
The notification says not to upload a selfie or a scan of an old photo. Ask someone to take a fresh photo of you from the front, then make it here.
Why does my file have an extra note about padding?
Some sizes have a smallest file size too, such as 30 KB for the photo. When a clean picture comes out smaller than that, a little invisible padding is added so the form accepts it. The picture itself is the same.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The photo is opened, resized and saved in your browser, on your own device.
