For the Railway Recruitment Board Level-1 (Group D), your photo is captured live in the online application — there is nothing to upload or resize. The signature should be about 140×60 pixels and 30–49 KB. Resize your signature with the tool above. It's free and runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
This form captures your photo live during the online application (webcam or phone camera) — there is nothing to upload or resize.
RRB captures the photo LIVE in the application module (webcam or phone front camera) — no upload/resize. Dress in non-white (preferably dark) clothing; face the camera at eye level, full face centred in the frame; no cap, mask or spectacles. Uploading a picture of a pre-existing photo leads to summary rejection. If the live photo fails validation/matching, Annexure-IX (Gazetted-Officer-attested identity proof) is required.
The notice gives a range or a physical size, not one exact pixel size. Treat these dimensions as a target and check the notes and the quoted notice text below.
Sign in BLACK ink on plain white paper in running handwriting (cursive/joined letters) — NOT in BLOCK, CAPITAL or disjointed letters (capital-letter signatures are rejected). Scan at ≥100 DPI; 140×60 px is the MINIMUM dimension; position the signature centred within a 35 mm × 20 mm scan box. The same signature must be used at every later stage (CBT/DV/ME).

About the RRB Group D application form
The Railway Recruitment Board Level-1 (Group D) is conducted by the Railway Recruitment Board. The online application portal has strict requirements for photo and signature uploads — images outside the specified dimensions or file size are automatically rejected.
The photograph is captured live by the online application (or the authority's app) — you don't upload or resize a photo. The signature should be about 140×60 pixels and between 30 and 49 KB on plain white paper in black ink.
Common reasons RRB Group D forms get rejected
- A live photo that breaks the photo rules in the notice.
- A cap or mask in the live photo.
- Wrong file format. The notice asks for JPG.
- Signature on lined or coloured paper instead of plain white.
Tips and tricks for the RRB Group D upload
- 1Sign in your running, joined-up handwriting. RRB rejects signatures in capital, block or separated letters.
- 2Use black ink on plain white paper and keep the signature centred in a box of about 35 mm × 20 mm when you scan it, at 100 DPI or more.
- 3The file has to be 30 to 49 KB, so a small file fails as well as a big one. Under 30 KB? Scan at a higher DPI or save at a higher JPG quality. 140×60 pixels is the smallest size allowed, so don't go below it.
- 4For the live photo, wear non-white clothes, dark if you can, and look into the camera at eye level with your whole face in the middle of the frame.
- 5Never point the camera at a printed photo or a phone screen. RRB rejects those applications outright.
- 6Keep the paper you signed on. You must use the same signature at every later stage: the CBT, document verification and the medical.
