Exam and ID form photo and signature sizes
Indian exam and ID forms set their own photo and signature sizes, and few agree. Here are all 22 uploads from 10 forms (SSC, RRB, NEET, JEE Main, UPSC, IBPS, Kerala PSC, TNPSC, PAN and the driving licence), each with its pixel size and KB limit from its own notice, and a tool for each.
What does each form ask you to upload?
Every file each form asks for, grouped by form. Filter by a form's name, such as NEET or PAN, or by a size.

Can one photo work for two forms?
Only where two forms ask for the same pixel size and their KB ranges overlap. These are the pairs where that holds, with the range a single file must land in:
One file, two forms
| Upload | Pixel size | File size | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| SSC signature and NEET signature | Pixel size709 x 236 px | File sizeKeep it 10 to 20 KB | Source |
| SSC signature and JEE Main signature | Pixel size709 x 236 px | File sizeKeep it 10 to 20 KB | Source |
| NEET photo and JEE Main photo | Pixel size413 x 531 px | File sizeKeep it 10 to 200 KB | Source |
| NEET photo and UPSC photo | Pixel size413 x 531 px | File sizeKeep it 20 to 200 KB | Source |
| NEET signature and JEE Main signature | Pixel size709 x 236 px | File sizeKeep it 10 to 50 KB | Source |
| JEE Main photo and UPSC photo | Pixel size413 x 531 px | File sizeKeep it 20 to 200 KB | Source |
Every other pair differs in pixel size, so a file made for one is the wrong shape or size for the other. Make each on its own page.
Which minimums are hard to reach?
A KB minimum on a small box asks a lot of each pixel. The table divides each minimum by the box's pixels, most demanding first.
On our signature measurements, a clean scan at full quality came to about 0.4 to 0.5 bytes a pixel. A minimum above that is out of reach for a clean scan at that box.
| Form and upload | Pixel size | File size | Bytes per pixel |
|---|---|---|---|
| IBPS signature | 140 x 60 px | 10 to 20 KB | 1.22 |
| TNPSC photo | 130 x 170 px | 20 to 50 KB | 0.93 |
| The driving licence signature | 256 x 64 px | 10 to 20 KB | 0.63 |
| TNPSC signature | 230 x 75 px | 10 to 20 KB | 0.59 |
| IBPS photo | 200 x 230 px | 20 to 50 KB | 0.45 |
| IBPS left thumb | 240 x 240 px | 20 to 50 KB | 0.36 |
| IBPS declaration | 800 x 400 px | 50 to 100 KB | 0.16 |
| UPSC photo | 413 x 531 px | 20 to 200 KB | 0.09 |
| UPSC triple signature | 500 x 500 px | 20 to 100 KB | 0.08 |
| RRB signature | 827 x 472 px | 30 to 49 KB | 0.08 |
| SSC signature | 709 x 236 px | 10 to 20 KB | 0.06 |
| NEET signature | 709 x 236 px | 10 to 100 KB | 0.06 |

| JEE Main photo | 413 x 531 px | 10 to 200 KB | 0.05 |
| The driving licence photo | 420 x 525 px | 10 to 20 KB | 0.05 |
The IBPS, TNPSC and driving licence signatures sit above it, and so does the TNPSC photo. Their pages measured exactly that, and each says what to do instead.
How these numbers were checked
Each size on this page was read at the issuing authority's own website, not copied from another converter or from a search result.
The page it came from and the date it was read are printed above, so you can check the same source in one click.
What happens to your photo?
Your selected photo is processed in your browser, without an image upload to a server. The page may download code and codecs needed for editing.
Save your result before closing the tab; unsaved edits are kept in memory rather than in an online account.
Common questions
What is the photo size for online forms?
There is no single size. The photos here run from 130 x 170 pixels for TNPSC to 420 x 525 for the driving licence, with limits from 10 to 200 KB. Use the tool on your form's own page.
Can I use my passport photo for an exam form?
Only after resizing it. A passport print is usually 35 x 45 mm, but each form wants its own pixel size and KB range, and the file must land inside both.
Why does the form reject my signature for being too small?
Because it is under the form's KB minimum. A signature is mostly white paper, which compresses to very little. See the minimums table above for the forms where this bites.
