The NTA NEET portal requires a photo of 200×230 pixels in JPEG format, between 10 KB and 200 KB, with a plain white background. This same photo appears on your NEET hall ticket and is used for identity verification at the exam centre — so quality matters. This tool generates a NTA-compliant photo that passes portal validation.
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 photo used for hall ticket — keep quality high
On the NTA NEET application form, photo upload appears in the 'Upload Documents' section. Upload your JPEG file, confirm the crop preview, and proceed. The same photo will appear on your hall ticket — ensure it is clear and recent.
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.
Photo upload in NTA NEET application form. If rejected, check the file size first — it is the most common cause.
NEET UG and PG require a photo of 200×230 pixels in JPEG format, between 10 KB and 200 KB. Background must be plain white, expression neutral, no glasses. The same photo appears on your hall ticket.
No. NTA follows biometric standards and does not allow glasses in the NEET photo. Remove your glasses before taking the photo, even if you wear prescription glasses.
If your hall ticket photo looks different from your current appearance, or if the photo quality is poor, invigilators may flag you for additional verification. Always use a recent, clear photo taken with good lighting.
Both NEET and JEE Main are conducted by NTA and use the same photo specifications: 200×230 pixels, 10–200 KB, JPEG, white background. You can use the same photo for both if it is recent and meets the quality requirements.
No. Aadhaar photos are often low resolution and may not meet the 200×230 pixel requirement. Always take a fresh, high-quality photo specifically for your NEET application.
