NTA gives file-size limits and paper sizes, not pixel sizes. The presets use sensible pixel sizes with the right shape; you can change them.
These figures were last checked in November 2026. Requirements can change with each notification, so confirm them in the current official notice on neet.nta.nic.in before you upload. All four boxes in the tool can be edited if your form asks for something different.
Passport photo and postcard photo are different
The passport-size photo is a close-up of the face. The postcard-size photo is a larger 4 × 6 inch picture. Both should be recent, in colour, on a white background, with about 80% face coverage and both ears visible. Keep printed copies too, because the admit card needs a postcard photo pasted on it.
Why uploads get rejected
- The file is a few KB over or under the allowed range.
- The file is PNG, HEIC or PDF when the form accepts only JPG.
- The face is too small, off-centre or in shadow, or the background is not plain and light.
- The signature is in capital letters, faint, or signed by someone else.
- A screenshot or a photo forwarded through a chat app was used, which lowers quality.
Questions and answers
Can I crop my passport photo to make the postcard photo?
It is better to use a separate picture taken for the 4 × 6 inch shape. Stretching a small close-up makes it blurry.
What ink should I use for the signature?
Black ink on white paper, in running handwriting and not capital letters.
