> RRB Station Master 2026 applications are open in November 2026. Shrink your photo, signature and certificate PDFs to the KB limits in your browser.

To get your RRB Station Master 2026 photo and signature under the KB limit, save each one as a JPG and shrink it with [Reduce File Size](/reduce-file-size/), then check the size before you upload. If the portal also asks for exact pixel dimensions, set those first with your computer's built-in editor, because Filevale does not resize images.

As of November 2026, the Railway Recruitment Board has opened applications for 1,265 Station Master posts under CEN 08/2026, as reported by Adda247. Reported last date: 25 November 2026. Applications go through rrbapply.gov.in, and the upload step is where most people get stuck: the form rejects a photo or signature that is too large, too small or in the wrong format.

## Check the exact limits first

The official CEN 08/2026 notice and the upload page on rrbapply.gov.in list the allowed format, the minimum and maximum size in KB and any pixel dimensions for the photo and signature. Read them there, not from a forum post, because the numbers differ between recruitments. Write the limits down before you start so you can compare each file as you go.

## Shrink the photo or signature to the KB limit

[Open Reduce File Size](https://filevale.com/reduce-file-size/)

Reduce File Size shrinks photos, PDFs, videos, audio and more, and it runs in your browser, so your photo and signature are not uploaded anywhere.

1. Open Reduce File Size on your phone or computer.
2. Add your photo or signature file.
3. Run it and compare the new size with the portal's limit.
4. Download the result and check the size again in your file manager before you upload it.

If the file is still above the limit, try again with the result or start from a smaller crop of the original. If it falls below the minimum, start from the original file and shrink it less.

## Convert iPhone photos and other formats to JPG

[Open Image Converter](https://filevale.com/image-converter/)

Government portals usually expect JPG or JPEG. iPhone photos are often saved as HEIC, and images saved from the web may be WebP or PNG. Convert them before shrinking:

- [HEIC to JPG](/heic-to-jpg/) turns iPhone HEIC photos into JPGs that open anywhere.
- [Image Converter](/image-converter/) turns any image into JPG, PNG, WebP or AVIF.
- If you scanned your signature into a PDF, [PDF to JPG](/pdf-to-jpg/) saves the page as a JPG image.

On iPhone, the free [Filevale app](/go/ios?src=guide) has the same kind of tools on-device; the browser tools above work without installing anything.

## Resize pixel dimensions with built-in tools

Filevale cannot resize or crop images. If the notice gives pixel dimensions, use what your device already has:

- **Windows:** open the photo in Paint, choose *Resize*, switch to *Pixels* and enter the width and height. Use the crop tool first if the photo needs to be tighter around your face or signature.
- **Mac:** open the photo in Preview and choose *Tools → Adjust Size* to set the width and height in pixels, then *File → Export* as JPEG.

Resize first, then shrink to the KB limit, since resizing changes the file size.

## Certificates and documents as PDF

[Open Compress PDF](https://filevale.com/compress-pdf/)

If the form or a later document verification step asks for PDFs within a size limit, [Compress PDF](/compress-pdf/) makes PDFs smaller for email and uploads. Scanned certificates usually shrink the most. For more on what works and what doesn't, see [how to compress a PDF for email](/guides/compress-pdf-for-email/) and [how to get a file under a size limit](/guides/limit-file-size/).

## Frequently asked questions

### What size should my RRB Station Master photo and signature be?

Use the KB range, format and dimensions given in the official CEN 08/2026 notice and on the rrbapply.gov.in upload page. This guide does not repeat the numbers because they can change between recruitments, and the portal checks against its own rules.

### Why does the portal say my file is too small?

Many recruitment portals set a minimum size as well as a maximum. If you shrank the photo too far, go back to the original, resize it to the required dimensions and shrink it less so it lands inside the range.

### Is it safe to process my photo and signature online?

With Filevale the work happens inside your browser and the files are not uploaded, which matters for personal photos and signatures. Keep your originals in case you need to redo a step or upload again later.
