AFCAT Photo & Signature Size 2026
AFCAT stands for Air Force Common Admission Test.
This exam needs more than a photo and signature.
- •Photograph, captured live in the portal
- •Signature
- •Left thumb impression
Prepare all of them before you start the form.
Photo requirements
AFCAT takes your photograph through your camera during the application itself. You cannot upload a saved photo, so there is no pixel size or file size to match. Get the capture right instead.
How to get the capture right
- •Upload a recent passport-size colour photograph while looking straight at the camera with a relaxed face
- •Capture a live image using the device camera during the application process
- •Use a plain light-coloured background with proper lighting
- •Photograph and live image must both belong to the candidate only and be clear
