RRB now takes your photo live from the camera, so there is no photo file to upload. Use the second box to practise: it checks background, light and blur.

Check the green 30-49 KB tick

The minimum is 30 KB, and most free tools make the signature too small. This one raises it to the minimum safely.

From RRB CEN 06/2026 and 07/2026, as reported by PW and Oliveboard. Each RRB notice (CEN) can change this, so check yours.

Why 30 KB minimum matters A clean signature on white paper is often only 8-15 KB. The form rejects it. The tool keeps all the detail and raises the file above 30 KB without blurring it.

The New RRB Live Photo: What Changed

7 Checks Before You Tap Capture

Use the practice box above. It reads your selfie and tells you what to fix.

CheckDo this
BackgroundStand in front of a plain white or off-white wall
ClothesWear dark or coloured clothes, not white
LightFace a window or a bright light; no light behind you
FaceLook straight at the camera, both eyes open, neutral face
HeadwearNo cap, mask or tinted glasses; religious headgear is fine if the full face shows
PhoneHold it at eye level and keep it still
NetworkUse a steady connection so the capture does not time out

Live photo rules from PW and Oliveboard. If the background check fails here, it will look poor on the form too.

RRB Signature Rules

The tool makes 350 × 200 px, which keeps the 35:20 shape and is well above the 140 × 60 minimum.

RRB vs Bank Exam Uploads

Many railway aspirants also fill IBPS and SBI forms. The rules are very different.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the RRB photo size in 2027? +

There is no photo file now. RRB captures your photo live through the webcam or phone front camera inside the form, so no KB or pixel size applies.

What is the RRB signature size? +

A JPG of 30-49 KB, at least 140 x 60 pixels, signed in running hand with a black pen inside a 35 x 20 mm box on white paper.

Why does my RRB signature say the file is too small? +

The minimum is 30 KB. A plain signature is usually smaller. This tool raises the file above 30 KB without changing how it looks.

Can I wear spectacles in the RRB live photo? +

Tinted glasses are not allowed. Some guides say no spectacles at all, so remove clear glasses too if you can see the screen without them.

What colour clothes should I wear for the live photo? +

Dark or coloured clothes. White clothes blend into the white background.

Can I take the live photo on my phone? +

Yes, the front camera works. Keep the phone at eye level, face the light and hold still.

Does the practice box upload my selfie? +

No. It only checks the photo inside your browser. Nothing is uploaded or saved.

Is the SC/ST certificate needed for everyone? +

No. Only SC/ST candidates claiming free railway travel upload it, in the format given in the notice.

Can I use my RRB signature for bank exams? +

Not as it is. Bank exams want 10-20 KB. Make a new file with the IBPS Document Resizer.
