India Post GDS Photo Size & Signature (2026): Exact Requirements
India Post GDS form needs a 4.5cm x 3.5cm photo (20–50KB) and 4.5cm x 2cm signature (10–20KB). Resize both instantly and free with this browser tool.
The India Post GDS (Gramin Dak Sevak) application asks for a photograph and signature with strict size rules. The photo is 4.5cm x 3.5cm JPEG between 20KB and 50KB, and the signature is 4.5cm x 2cm JPEG between 10KB and 20KB. Files outside these ranges are rejected by the portal uploader.
Use this tool to crop, resize and compress both files to the GDS spec in seconds — fully in your browser.

Pro tips

- Sign carefully in one stroke; a messy signature can cause a mismatch later.
- If your photo is blurry, retake it instead of upscaling — portals reject low-quality images.
