Official Photo & Signature Guidelines
Compare what your form demands with what this tool produces by default:
| Parameter | This tool (default preset) | Official requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Dimensions | 413 × 531 px | Exact pixel dimensions per notification — commonly 413 × 531 px |
| File size | Target 100 KB slider (adjustable) | Must stay inside the notification's KB window — most forms prefer 20–50 KB |
| Format | JPG / JPEG | JPG / JPEG only |
| Name & Date stamp | OFF — toggle anytime | Not required for this document type |
- The standard passport-size photo used across Indian application forms is 3.5 cm × 4.5 cm.
- At 300 DPI, 3.5 × 4.5 cm equals 413 × 531 pixels — the print-shop standard.
- Use a plain white or very light background, front-facing, with the face filling about 75% of the frame.
- No cap, no sunglasses; if you wear spectacles, avoid glare and heavy reflections.
- For print, choose a photo taken in even daylight — shadows on the wall behind you will show when printed.
- Official portals often cap file sizes at 20–100 KB for this format — keep the target slider conservatively midway.
How to Resize in 3 Steps
Upload your photo
Pick a clear, front-facing photo — or switch the unit selector to centimetres and enter 3.5 × 4.5 directly.
Adjust framing if needed
Use zoom, rotate and the vertical-position slider so your head sits fully inside the frame without cropping.
Download for print or upload
Download the JPG — upload it to a portal or take the file to a photo shop for printing at exact size.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many pixels is a 3.5 × 4.5 cm photo?
At 300 DPI it is 413 × 531 pixels. That is the print-quality standard photo shops use, and the Excel default this page produces. At lower resolutions (like 150 DPI) the same physical size is only about 207 × 266 pixels.
Can I enter centimetres directly instead of pixels?
Yes — choose the Custom option in the preset dropdown, then pick 'Centimetres (cm)' in the unit selector and type 3.5 and 4.5. The tool converts to file-ready pixels at 300 DPI automatically.
Is this the same as the NEET postcard size?
No — the passport size (3.5 × 4.5 cm) is much smaller than the NEET postcard size (4 × 6 inch or about 10.2 × 15.2 cm). Use the NEET postcard page if that is what your form demands.
Will this print clearly at the photo studio?
Yes — 300 DPI is exactly the print industry standard, so the file will come out razor-sharp at the expected photo dimensions. Download using the PNG format for pixel-perfect print quality if you don't need the KB compression.
Tip: if your form also requires a photo with name & date, use the SSC Photo Maker.
