Teletalk photo & signature size: 300×300 under 100KB, 300×80 under 60KB
The photo and signature specs Teletalk's own validator enforces for Bangladesh government job applications, why greyscale photos get rejected, and how to hit both limits exactly.
Applying for a Bangladesh government job through a Teletalk portal means uploading a photo and a signature that pass an automated check. Get a number wrong and the form rejects the file with a vague error, usually minutes before the deadline. Here is what is actually enforced.
The Teletalk specs
These are the numbers published on Teletalk's own validation page:
| Upload | Dimensions | Max size | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Photograph | 300×300 px | 100 KB | Must be colour |
| Signature | 300×80 px | 60 KB | Some circulars ask for 300×60 |
Three things trip people up:
- Greyscale photos are rejected. Teletalk states that black & white, monochrome and greyscale photos will not be accepted, and the portal runs facial recognition to screen out unsuitable images. A scanned photocopy of a photo often reads as greyscale even when it looks fine to you.
- Both size constraints bind at once. Resizing to 300×300 is easy; getting under 100KB at that size depends on the photo's detail. A busy background eats your byte budget.
- Aspect ratio. A phone photo is not square. Naively resizing a 3:4 portrait to 300×300 stretches your face. The photo must be cropped to the target shape first, then resized.
Always check your own circular. Signature dimensions in particular vary between organisations — 300×80 is the common case, but 300×60 and others appear. The circular wins over any guide, including this one.
What about e-Passport and NID?
A point of confusion worth clearing up: the online e-Passport application at epassport.gov.bd does not ask adults to upload a photo at all. Your biometric photo is captured in person at the passport office, or at a Bangladesh mission abroad during enrolment. Missions that require printed photos attached to the summary sheet specify a physical size in millimetres, not pixels — check the instructions from the specific office handling your file, and use the print sizes below rather than the Teletalk numbers.
The same caution applies to NID services: use the size the form in front of you states. Photo specs that circulate on job-help pages are frequently copied from the Teletalk requirement and applied to forms that never asked for it.
Doing it in one step
The Teletalk Photo & Signature Resizer has these presets built in: it centre-crops to the right shape, resizes to the exact pixels, then walks the JPEG quality down until the file fits under the cap — as high-quality as the limit allows, never more compressed than needed. It also checks whether your photo is greyscale and warns you before you upload it. If your circular uses different numbers, the custom mode takes any width × height × KB combination.
Tips for passing review, not just upload validation:
- Plain light background; even lighting; no shadows across the face.
- Face centred and looking straight on — crop before worrying about file size.
- Don't upscale a tiny photo to meet pixel dimensions; blur gets rejected too.
Printing physical copies
Shops print passport photos on 4×6 inch paper, usually six 35×45mm copies per sheet. The Passport Photo Print Sheet tool lays your photo out on a 4×6 with cut guides — take the PDF to any studio or print at home at 100% scale (turn off "fit to page", which silently resizes everything).
Both tools run in your browser; your photo is never uploaded anywhere.
