How the checklist works
Online applications fail at the last step more often than anywhere else: a photo that is 52 KB when the limit is 50, a signature at the wrong pixel size, a certificate PDF that is too large. This planner puts every file an application asks for on one page, with the rule for each one, so you can prepare them in one sitting instead of finding out at upload time.
Choose your exam or application, and the list fills in from the official notice: file type, the smallest and largest size allowed, and pixel dimensions where the notice gives them. Items that are captured inside the application, such as a live photograph, are listed too, so nothing surprises you.
Check your files before you upload
When a file is ready, use Check a file on its row. The file is read by your browser, on your device: its size in bytes, its real type and, for images, its width and height are compared with the rule. Nothing is uploaded, and the file is not kept after you close the page; only the result (name, size and status) is remembered in this browser.
Sizes are tested both ways that portals count a kilobyte. A file passes a maximum of N KB only if it is no larger than N × 1,000 bytes, and a minimum only if it is at least N × 1,024 bytes, so it is accepted whichever definition the portal uses. If a file fails, the row links to the tool that fixes it, with the right preset already chosen.
What the live summary means
- Ready counts the items you have ticked or that passed a file check, out of the items you need to prepare.
- Upload budget adds up the largest size each rule allows: the most your uploads could weigh in total.
- Checked so far adds up the files you have checked, shown against that budget.
- Need attention counts files that failed a check and rules that need you to read the notice.
Keep the official notice open
Every preset shows its source and the date it was last verified. Notices change from one year to the next and sometimes contradict themselves; where the NEET (UG) 2026 bulletin gives two different ranges for finger and thumb impressions, the checklist says so instead of picking one. For exams that are not listed, choose “Something else” and copy the rules from your notice.
Questions
Is anything I enter or check uploaded?
No. Your details and file checks stay in this browser. Files are measured on your device and are not stored or sent anywhere.
Which exams and applications are covered?
NEET (UG) 2026, SBI Junior Associates 2026, SSC CHSL 2026, the US visa digital photo and the UK digital passport photo. For anything else, build your own list from your notice.
Why is IBPS not listed?
We only publish presets we have verified against the current official notice, and we could not verify IBPS. Use “Something else” and copy the rules from ibps.in.
Can I come back later?
Yes. Your choices are saved in this browser until you clear them with Start over or clear your browser data.
Is the PDF accepted by the exam body?
The PDF is a personal checklist to help you prepare, not a document to submit. Always follow the official notice.
