Teletalk photo and signature rules
Many Bangladesh government job applications are made online through Teletalk’s websites: the shared portal alljobs.teletalk.com.bd, or a department’s own address such as dls.teletalk.com.bd. Each recruitment publishes a circular with the upload rules. The Department of Livestock Services (DLS) circular of 15 September 2026 sets these in section 7(খ):
| Upload | Size in pixels | Largest file | Smallest file |
|---|---|---|---|
| Colour photo (ছবি) | 300 × 300 (square) | 100 KB | Not stated |
| Signature (স্বাক্ষর) | 300 × 80 (300 wide, 80 tall) | 60 KB | Not stated |
The circular does not name a file format. JPG is the usual format for these uploads, so this page saves JPG. Source: DLS circular Ref. 33.01.0000.101.11.948.26-1838, dated 15 September 2026, hosted on Teletalk.
Check the circular for your post before you upload. Other recruiters on Teletalk, such as the Bangladesh Public Service Commission (BPSC) for BCS, publish their own circulars, and we have not checked their numbers.

How the square crop works
A photo straight from a phone camera is rarely square. Held upright, it is taller than it is wide. Crop to fill first scales the photo so it covers the whole 300 × 300 square. Then it trims the extra evenly from both ends of the long side: top and bottom for an upright photo, left and right for a sideways one. Nothing is stretched, so your face keeps its shape.
Because the crop is taken from the centre, a face that sits high in the frame can lose the top of the head. To avoid that:
- Crop to a square in your gallery first. Put your face in the middle, with your head and the top of your shoulders in the frame.
- Leave a little space above your head, so the trim doesn’t reach it.
- Look at the result before you upload it. If the crop is wrong, fix the photo in your gallery and add it again.
The other choices under When proportions differ don’t suit this form. Fit inside keeps the whole photo, but the file is no longer 300 × 300. Stretch makes it square by squashing your face. Add borders keeps the whole photo and fills the gaps with white, which leaves white bands on two sides.
How the 100 KB limit is met
A 300 × 300 photo has only 90,000 pixels, so as a JPG it is often well under 100 KB. The tool saves it at 90% quality first. If the file is still too big, it lowers the quality step by step and keeps the highest quality that fits. The pixel size never changes.
The limit is set to 100,000 bytes. Some sites count 1 KB as 1,000 bytes and others as 1,024, and 100,000 bytes is under 100 KB either way. The final size is shown next to your photo.
The DLS circular gives no minimum size, so none is set. If the circular for your post does give one, type it in Min size. The tool then raises the quality first and, if the file is still too small, adds invisible padding without changing the picture.
Making the photo on your phone
- Take the photo in good light. Face a window or stand in open shade. A plain wall behind you keeps the photo clear at this small size.
- Crop it to a square in your gallery, with your face in the middle.
- Open this page in your phone’s browser and add the photo. The settings are already 300 × 300 px, Crop to fill, JPG and a 100 KB limit.
- Download the JPG. Check that it shows 300 × 300 and a size under 100 KB.
- Upload it in the photo box of the Teletalk form and check the preview before you submit.
iPhone HEIC photos open here directly. To turn a HEIC file into a JPG without resizing it, use HEIC to JPG.
Why a photo upload fails
- The file is over 100 KB. Download it again from this page and don’t edit it afterwards.
- The size is not 300 × 300. Cropping or editing the file again in a gallery app changes it. Upload the downloaded JPG as it is.
- It is not a real JPG. Renaming photo.png to photo.jpg doesn’t convert it. Keep Output format on JPG.
- It went through a chat app. Sending a photo through WhatsApp or Messenger recompresses it. Download it again on the phone you apply from.
- Part of the head is cut off. Crop the photo to a square with your face in the centre, then add it again.
The DLS circular also asks for a signature of 300 × 80 px, no more than 60 KB. Make it with the Teletalk signature resizer, which opens with those settings. To check any file before you upload it, use the Image Size Checker.
