EPFO Photo & Signature Size - Resize Online

The photo and signature limits EPFO asks for, both on the SSA recruitment form and the UAN member portal, plus a free way to hit them.

Quick answer

EPFO recruitment forms ask for a photo of 20-50 KB at about 200 x 230 px and a signature at about 140 x 60 px, both JPEG in black ink. Upload yours to PhotoResizer, set the values, and download upload-ready files.

EPFO photo & signature specifications

Requirement	Photograph	Signature
Format	JPEG / JPG	JPEG / JPG
File size (SSA form)	20 KB - 50 KB	20 KB - 50 KB
Dimensions	about 200 x 230 px	about 140 x 60 px (200 DPI)
Scan size	3.5 x 4.5 cm passport style	Signed on white paper
Ink / colour	Recent colour photograph	Black ink only
UAN portal photo	up to about 100 KB	Not applicable

Two different EPFO uploads get confused. The SSA / Social Security Assistant recruitment form uses the KB limits above, while the UAN member portal profile photo allows a larger file (around 100 KB). Older EPFO notifications specified 10-20 KB for the signature, so always confirm against the notification PDF you are applying against - PhotoResizer supports any custom KB and pixel size.

Why EPFO uploads get rejected

A signature written in CAPITAL LETTERS is explicitly not accepted by EPFO. The other common causes are uploading the photo in the signature slot (or the reverse), which EPFO warns will get your admission to the exam denied, and a file outside the KB range.
