RRB ALP 2026 Photo & Signature Specifications

The Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) applies the same strict image standards across Assistant Loco Pilot (ALP), Group D, and NTPC applications. These limits are tighter than SSC applications.

RRB ALP Document Matrix

Railway exams share identical photo and signature restrictions[cite: 9]. If you recently prepared files for an SSC portal, be aware that you cannot reuse them directly without recompressing them down further.

⚠️ The 40KB Catch: While SSC allows photos up to 50 KB, RRB ALP restricts photos to a maximum of 40 KB[cite: 9]. Furthermore, signatures are capped extremely low at 15 KB[cite: 9]. This makes correct compression vital to maintain visual clarity.

Formatting Your Railway Uploads

  1. Navigate to the ExamReady Photo Resizer.
  2. Select the RRB-specific presets.
  3. Upload your passport photo. The tool uses target-based compression to ensure the file stays under 40 KB without degrading quality[cite: 15].
  4. Download the image securely and upload it directly to your RRB dashboard.
