Resize Your Photo & Signature for AFCAT Forms
AFCAT applications need a recent photo and a signature within set size limits, or the upload is rejected. Here are the usual specs and the free tools to hit them, all in your browser.
The requirement
- Photo file size
- 10 KB – 50 KB
- Signature file size
- 10 KB – 50 KB
- Photo
- Recent passport-style, light background
- Format
- JPG / JPEG
These are typical published values and can change from year to year and from one portal to another. Always confirm the exact requirement in the official notification or upload portal before you submit — the official source takes precedence over anything here.
Step by step
- 1Crop the photo to a passport 3.5:4.5 frame on a light background.
- 2Compress it to fit the 10–50 KB limit with the pre-armed 50 KB compressor.
- 3Scan or photograph your signature on white paper and crop it tightly.
- 4Compress the signature to fit 10–50 KB, then upload both to the AFCAT portal.
