How to Resize Photo with Name and Date for SSC, UPSC & NEET Online?
Filling out government job and entrance exam applications in India—such as SSC CGL, CHSL, MTS, UPSC IAS, NEET UG, JEE Main, and IBPS Bank PO/Clerk—requires strict compliance with photograph and signature guidelines. Most applications are rejected because the photo size exceeds 50KB or lacks a clear Candidate Name and Date of Photograph (DOP) printed at the bottom.
- Choose Your Exam Preset: Select SSC, UPSC, NEET Passport, NEET Postcard (4x6), or Signature (140x60 pixels) from the dropdown menu.
- Upload Your Photo: Select a clear front-facing photo from your mobile or PC.
- Enter Name & Date of Photo: Type your full name in capital letters and choose the current date (must be within the last 3 months of the exam notification).
- Adjust KB Size & Download: Check the live KB size indicator. If needed, slide the quality bar to keep the size strictly between 20KB and 50KB, then click Download.
