Exam PhotoCheck the official notice before you upload. We read these rules in the documents named under Sources on 11 November 2026. A new notice can change them, and the form on the day is the final word. This site is not connected with any exam body.
What the notice says, upload by upload

Numbers that changed from older years
Many pages still show 10 to 300 KB for the photo or 4 to 30 KB for the signature. Those are from earlier bulletins. The 2027 bulletin says 10 to 200 KB for the photograph and 10 to 100 KB for the signature.
No pixel size is given
The bulletin does not give a size in pixels or centimetres for either image. It asks for a passport size photograph. Our resizer makes the photo 413 by 531 pixels, which is the common 3.5 cm by 4.5 cm passport shape, and the signature 420 by 180 pixels. Both pixel sizes are our choice; the KB limits are the bulletin's.
The live photo
The bulletin says to switch on your camera or connect a webcam. If the device has no camera, you can scan a QR code with a phone or tablet and take the picture there. It asks for a white background, proper lighting and 80% face visibility including ears, without a mask.
Other files in the same step
The Class 10 certificate or marks-sheet goes up as a PDF of 50 to 300 KB. The same PDF limit applies to a disability or UDID certificate where it is needed. These are documents, not pictures, so this site's image resizer is not meant for them.
Your own photo, uploaded correctly
The bulletin warns that the photograph and signature must be the candidate's own, and that corrections are possible only in the correction window NTA announces. Check both previews before you submit.
