The NTA JEE Main portal requires a photo of 200×230 pixels in JPEG format, between 10 KB and 200 KB, with a plain white background. JEE Advanced uses the same specifications. This tool generates an NTA-compliant photo in seconds — no studio, no cost.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) portal validates these specifications automatically on upload:
| Requirement | Specification | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Pixel dimensions | 200×230 px | 3.5×4.5 cm at 300 DPI |
| File size | 10 KB – 200 KB | Portal accepts within this range |
| Format | JPG | JPEG compression |
| Resolution | 300 DPI | Print quality standard |
| Background | Plain white | No shadows, no patterns |
| Face coverage | 70–80% | Face centred, looking directly at camera |
| Glasses | Not allowed | Remove before taking photo |
| Expression | Neutral | Mouth closed, eyes open |
⚠ Note: Same NTA portal as NEET — same photo specs
On the NTA JEE Main application, photo upload is in the 'Upload Documents' section. Upload your JPEG file and verify the preview. The same photo appears on your admit card and is checked at the exam centre.
Use rear camera against a plain white wall. Good natural light from the front, no shadows on face. Neutral expression, mouth closed.
Click the upload area above or drag your JPG/PNG file. Maximum 10 MB. Works on all Android and iOS phones.
Adjust the crop box so your face fills 70–80% of the frame. The live preview shows exactly what the final photo looks like.
Click Generate. Download the 10–200 KB portal version. Use the size slider if you need an exact KB target.

JEE Main requires a photo of 200×230 pixels in JPEG format, between 10 KB and 200 KB. Plain white background, no glasses, neutral expression. Same specifications apply for JEE Advanced.
Yes. Both JEE Main and NEET are conducted by NTA and use identical photo specifications: 200×230 pixels, 10–200 KB, JPEG, white background. You can use the same photo for both applications if it is recent.
Yes, if the photo is recent and you appear the same. NTA uses the photo for identity verification, so it must match your current appearance. If significant time has passed between sessions, consider retaking the photo.
The NTA portal may accept the wrong size initially but flag it during document verification. A rejected photo can delay your admit card. Always verify the pixel dimensions and file size before submitting.
Yes, but check that it meets the NTA specifications: 200×230 pixels, 10–200 KB. Most studio photos are higher resolution and need to be resized. Upload the studio photo to this tool to resize and compress it automatically.
