MP Police Constable 2026: How to Create the Official Photo, Signature & Handwriting Template

The Madhya Pradesh Employees Selection Board (MPESB), formerly Vyapam, has one of the most unique document upload requirements in India. Unlike SSC or Banking exams where you upload files separately, MP Police Constable and many MP state exams require a single template image that contains your photograph, your signature, and a handwritten statement in one frame.

For many aspirants, creating this combined image becomes a technical nightmare: mobile apps ruin sharpness, add watermarks, or make the handwriting unreadable after compression'leading to the dreaded Form Rejected status. At SarkariPixel.in, we focus on what matters most for MPESB: clarity-first image preparation (Enhance), correct sizing (Resize), and targeted KB control (Compress).

1) Understanding the MPESB Template rule

MP Police Constable 2026 notifications typically require a template image around 700px width and 800×900px height (approx). Inside this single frame, you arrange:

• Top box: Passport photograph (often with Name + Date printed on it)
• Middle box: Your signature
• Bottom box: A specific handwritten self-declaration (Hindi/English as per notice)

Important: MPESB is strict about readability. If your handwriting is too light, too small, or becomes blurry after compression, your application can be rejected even if the file size is correct.

2) Preparing the elements (the SarkariPixel workflow)

Before you paste anything into the MP template, your three components must be gold standard quality. This is where most rejections happen: candidates try to fix everything at the end by aggressively compressing, which destroys handwriting clarity.

Step 1: Fix the photo (Name & Date)

Many MP Police workflows require the candidate's name and the date of photograph printed clearly at the bottom of the photo (studio-style). If your notice demands this, don't use random watermark apps.

1. Open Image Resize Tool.
2. Upload your photo and set a clean, portal-friendly size (you can resize later again if needed).
3. Enable Text overlay → choose Below photo (white band) (best readability) → enter your Name + Date.
4. Download the stamped photo and keep it ready for the template.

Step 2: Clear the signature & handwriting (contrast is everything)

Mobile photos of signatures and handwritten statements often look gray, have shadows, or include paper texture noise. MPESB scanning systems are harsh: if your ink isn't dark, the text can disappear after resizing/compression.

1. Open Enhance Lab.
2. Upload your signature photo and handwriting photo separately.
3. Use Enhance to make the background clean white and the ink deep black (avoid over-processing that creates jagged edges).
4. Download the enhanced images.

Step 3: Hit the 200 KB target (without killing readability)

After you combine the template (using MPESB's official format/template sheet or any simple layout tool like gallery collage / MS Paint), your final file must often be under 200 KB. This is where targeted compression matters.

1. Open Compression Lab.
2. Upload the final combined template JPG.
3. Set Target KB to 1–80 KB (safe buffer under 200 KB).
4. Preview at 100% zoom. If any handwriting becomes unreadable, go back and re-enhance (don't just compress harder).

3) Why use the SarkariPixel Launch Toolkit?

As a fellow exam aspirant, I know you don't have time to memorize pixel math. The Launch Toolkit acts like a command center: it nudges you toward the correct order (Enhance first, then Resize/Compress), and loads exam-friendly presets for common photo/sign proportions.

• Guided sequence: Enhance first'critical for MPESB's contrast-heavy scanning.
• Presets: Use SSC/Banking presets to get photo/sign proportionally correct before placing them into the MP template.
• Privacy-first: Your data stays in your browser memory (RAM). We don't upload or store photos'helpful for cyber cafe workflows.

4) Handling certificates: JPG → PDF for verification stages

While the main MPESB application uses an image template, your 10th marksheet and caste/EWS certificates may be needed later in PDF format for verification. Our Resize/Compress tools are for images. If you have a marksheet PDF that is too large, use this safe workflow:

1. Use PDF → Image to turn each page into JPG/PNG.
2. Use Compression Lab to hit the required KB targets for those images.
3. Use Images → PDF to assemble a clean, portal-ready PDF again.

5) Common rejection reasons for MP Police templates

• Small handwriting: If your statement is too small to read after compression, MPESB can reject it. Use a black gel pen and write large enough for the template box.
• Missing date on photo: If the notice demands date stamping and your photo is missing it (or is too old), your form can be marked invalid.
• Background noise/blur: Keep a plain white background; remove wall texture/shadows using Enhance Lab.

6) Privacy: the gold standard for MP aspirants

Madhya Pradesh has millions of students from rural areas who rely on public internet centers. SarkariPixel.in is 100% client-side: your signature, handwriting sample, and photo never leave your device. Most free sites upload your data to servers; we process everything locally in your browser.
