1) DigiLocker vs manual upload: what you need to know
UP Police Constable 2026 forms may offer DigiLocker integration for marksheets and certificates. It can be convenient, but many aspirants end up switching to manual uploads due to mismatches or glitches.
DigiLocker path
- What it does: Links DigiLocker to fetch documents automatically.
- Common failure: Aadhaar name does not match marksheet name exactly (spelling, initials, spacing).
Manual upload path (the reliable fallback)
- What it needs: You scan/photo documents and upload JPG/PDF.
- Key requirement: Files must be compressed correctly (photos under 50 KB; certificates often 50-200 KB or per portal rules).
2) Official UP Police 2026 photo & signature specs
UPPRPB is strict about face visibility. Avoid selfies, dark backgrounds, heavy filters, and glare.
Image-based document requirements
| Document type | Dimensions (cm) | File size (KB) | Rule/background |
|---|---|---|---|
| Passport photo | 3.5 x 4.5 | 20-50 KB | White or light grey background |
| Signature | 3.5 x 1.5 | 5-20 KB | Black ink only, clean white paper |
| Caste certificate (manual) | N/A | 50-200 KB (portal-dependent) | Sharp scan; serial number visible |
Pro-aspirant checklist (avoid face rejection)
- Face coverage: Face should occupy around 75% of the photo (no far-away shots).
- Eyes & ears: Eyes open; both ears visible if the notification demands it.
- No glare: Avoid spectacles if glare is visible (follow portal rules).
3) How to use Launch Toolkit for UP Police (SSC preset hack)
Even if you do not see a dedicated UP Police button, the SSC preset is a strong match because both typically use the 3.5 x 4.5 cm standard.
The "banger" workflow
- Open Toolkit: Go to Launch Toolkit.
- Select preset: Choose SSC (sets the right base dimensions/aspect).
- Auto-clean (recommended): Use Enhance Lab to fix yellow indoor tint and brighten background.
- Target compression: Use Compression Lab and target 45 KB for photo and 15 KB for signature.
- Download: Upload the output files. Do not forward via WhatsApp (it can change quality/size).
4) Solving the signature rejection problem
UP Police forms commonly flag signatures when the scan looks low quality.
- Common mistake: Blue ball pen on ruled paper.
- Fix: Black gel pen on plain white A4 sheet. If the scan looks gray, use Enhance Lab to increase contrast so it looks like a professional scan.
5) Privacy: why aspirants trust SarkariPixel
UP Police aspirants often use cyber cafes and share sensitive documents. That is risky. SarkariPixel tools are client-side: resizing, enhancing, compressing, and merging happens locally in your browser memory. Your documents are not uploaded to our server.
6) Common UP Police form errors to avoid
- Blurry certificates: If using manual upload, ensure serial number and roll number are readable after compression.
- Recency: Many boards require a recent photo (example: within last 6 months). Do not use an old school photo.
- Multiple applications: Do not re-apply due to a small mistake. Wait for the official correction window (Sanshodhan).
FAQ
Can I use the SSC preset for other state police exams?
Yes. Many state police forms follow the 3.5 x 4.5 cm standard. SSC preset is a practical universal starting point, but always confirm your portal limits.
My photo is 52 KB. Will it be accepted?
No. If the portal limit is 50 KB, 52 KB will usually fail. Use Compression Lab and target 45 KB to stay safely under the cap.
Is a red background allowed?
It is discouraged for most government applications. Stick to white or light grey unless the notification explicitly asks for another color.
Final word
Do not let file dimensions delay your uniform dream. Spend 5 minutes preparing your photo, signature, and certificates with the Toolkit (SSC preset), submit your form successfully, and get back to GS and Hindi revision.
