Official requirements

The numbers below come from the official notice. Each source is quoted as we read it.

  • Photo

    JPG10–200 KB

    Official item: 'Passport Size Photograph (with 80% face without mask)'. Recent passport-size photograph, in colour or black & white, on a white background; 80% of the image must be the candidate's face (visible including ears, without a mask). Taken after 01 January 2026 (Step 2(b); the bulletin's checklist note says 'taken on/after 01 January 2026'). The bulletin states no pixel, cm or dpi values. Spectacles only if regularly used; Polaroid and computer-generated photographs are not acceptable; the photograph need not be attested. The same photograph is pasted on the Attendance Sheet at the examination centre.

  • Photo (live capture)

    Taken live on the portal

    Captured live inside the application form (webcam, or the on-screen QR code scanned with a phone/tablet); not a file upload. Light-coloured background, proper lighting, 80% face visible including ears, no mask. It is matched with the photograph in the Aadhaar database.

  • Signature

    JPG10–100 KB

    Official item: 'Signature'. Step 2(d)(ii) and the Appendix-IX upload screen agree: JPG/JPEG, 10-100 kb. No pixel/cm dimensions and no ink-colour or capital-letter rule are stated in the bulletin.

  • Thumbprint

    JPG50–200 KB

    Official item: 'Left and Right hands Fingers and Thumb impressions' - one upload showing the left and right hand finger and thumb impressions (not a single left-thumb image). The 2026 bulletin gives two different values: Step 2(d)(iii) and the Appendix-IX upload screen say JPG/JPEG 10-200 kb; the note under the 'Candidate's Left and Right hand Fingers and Thumb impressions' heading says 'File size must be between 50 kb to 300 kb'. This page checks against the range both statements share (50-200 kb), which satisfies either (see the other readings below). No pixel/cm dimensions are stated. The bulletin says unclear impressions are rejected.

  • Document

    JPG50–200 KB

    Identity Proof - conditional: needed only for candidates who verify their identity by a method other than Aadhaar or DigiLocker (Step 2(d)(viii); upload-screen row 'Identity Proof').

What we check — and what we don't

  • File type. The file you download is a JPG.

  • Pixels. The width and height in pixels, when the notice states them. We scale the picture, and crop it when the notice sets both sides, and never stretch it.

  • File size. The size in KB, kept inside the notice's limits however a KB is counted.

We do not check what the picture shows, such as the background, the face position, the date of a photo or whose signature it is. A portal may check these too, and only the portal can accept or reject your upload. We are not affiliated with National Testing Agency: always confirm the numbers on the official notice.

How to fix your file

  1. Pick what you are uploading, then choose or drop your JPG, PNG or WebP file (up to 25 MB). It is read on your device.
  2. Press Fix my file. We scale, crop and compress it until it fits the official numbers above.
  3. Download the fixed copy and upload it on the official application portal.
