JEE Main Photo & Signature Resizer

JEE Main photo and signature requirements

JEE Main applications are filled on the NTA portal, usually in two sessions. Candidates upload a recent photograph and signature, and NTA uses the photo on the admit card and for identity checks at the exam centre. The information bulletin lists the accepted formats, dimensions and file sizes for each session.

The dimensions, file size range, format and DPI shown in the tool come from our admin-maintained preset for JEE Main conducted by the National Testing Agency, together with the date they were last checked and a link to the official website. Requirements can change with every notification, so compare them with the notification for your exam cycle before uploading. If a value differs, pick the custom option in the exam resizer or tell us through the contact page so we can update the preset.

How the resizer meets every rule

• Exact pixels: the image is cropped to the required shape and resized to the exact width and height, never stretched.
• KB range: the tool finds the highest JPEG quality under the maximum; if the result is below the minimum, it adds harmless padding bytes so the portal accepts it.
• Portal-safe sizes: the maximum is treated as 1,000-byte kilobytes and the minimum as 1,024-byte kilobytes, so the file passes whichever definition the site uses.
• DPI: written into the file when the preset specifies it.

Photo tips that prevent rejection

• Recent colour photo, face centred, both ears visible where possible, neutral expression.
• Plain light background, even light, no shadows, no caps or dark glasses.
• Don’t upload a photo of a printed photo or a selfie with a tilted head.

JEE Main tips

If you apply for both sessions, use the same recent photo so it matches your admit cards. Keep the signature consistent with how you will sign in the attendance sheet. For JEE Advanced and JoSAA counselling you may need the same images again, so save your final files.

Your documents stay private
