What the NEET (UG) 2026 bulletin specifies
NTA’s Information Bulletin for NEET (UG) 2026 asks for a photograph in JPG/JPEG between 10 KB and 200 KB, taken after 1 January 2026, in colour or black and white, with about 80% of the face (without a mask) visible including the ears, against a white background. It also requires a live photograph captured with your camera during the application.
The signature must be JPG/JPEG between 10 KB and 100 KB. Documents such as the Class X certificate and category certificate are PDFs between 50 KB and 300 KB.
How to use the NEET photo and signature size tool
- Choose the preset. NEET (UG) photo or NEET (UG) signature.
- Add your image. Use a recent photo with a white background, or a clear signature.
- Check the result. Size, bytes and pixels are shown. The photo preset keeps your image’s shape.
- Compress PDFs too. For certificates, switch to the Compress PDF tab and set 300 KB.
Settings explained
- Photo size
- The bulletin does not set pixel dimensions, so the preset keeps your photo’s proportions and adjusts quality only.
- Finger and thumb impressions
- The 2026 bulletin gives two different ranges for these (10–200 KB in one place, 50–300 KB in another), so there is no preset. Check the latest notice on the NTA portal and use Custom.
NEET 2027 and later
These presets come from the 2026 bulletin. NTA publishes a new bulletin each year, often with changes; this page will be updated when the next one is published, but always check the current bulletin on neet.nta.nic.in.

Troubleshooting
- The photo is below 10 KB

- Use the Compress PDF tab with a 300 KB target, ticking grayscale for printed documents.
Frequently asked questions
What is the NEET photo size in KB?
10 KB to 200 KB, JPG/JPEG, according to the 2026 bulletin.
What is the NEET signature size?
10 KB to 100 KB, JPG/JPEG, in the 2026 bulletin.
Is this an NTA tool?
No. Myriadfile is independent and not affiliated with NTA.
Why does the tool aim slightly under the limit?
Portals count a kilobyte as either 1,000 or 1,024 bytes. Myriadfile keeps the maximum under N × 1,000 bytes and any minimum above N × 1,024 bytes, so the file passes either way.
Is it safe to resize ID documents here?
Yes. Files are processed in your browser and never uploaded, so your photo, signature and certificates stay on your device.
