CUET UG Photo & Signature Size — Resize to 10–200 KB and 10–50 KB

What size do I need?

Your photo must be a JPG/JPEG between 10 KB and 200 KB. It must be a colour photo with your face covering 80% of the photograph, including your ears, without a mask, on a white background. Your signature must be a clearly legible JPG/JPEG between 10 KB and 50 KB.

The bulletin does not state pixel dimensions for either file, and it does not state an ink colour for the signature — so this guide gives none. In the Resizer, enter only the KB range and leave the width and height empty: the tool keeps your photo's own shape.

CUET asks for two photographs: a live photograph taken when you fill the form (by webcam, or by a QR code scanned with a mobile or tablet) and a recent scanned passport-size photograph. The live photograph is taken inside the CUET form itself — FormReady prepares the scanned file. A file can fail at both ends of the range: too big and too small. Always double-check your current notification before you submit — specifications change between cycles, and the CUET (UG) 2026 cycle is complete.

How to resize for CUET

1. Open the Exam Photo & Signature Resizer (the button above takes you straight there).
2. Choose Photo or Signature at the top of the tool.
3. Under “Choose your exam”, select Custom — there is no CUET preset, because the bulletin states KB ranges only.
4. Enter the Minimum KB and Maximum KB from this guide (photo 10 and 200; signature 10 and 50). Leave width and height empty — the bulletin states no pixel dimensions.
5. Add your photo or signature — tap to choose the file, or drop it in.
6. Position it inside the frame and use the zoom slider if you need to — the frame crops, nothing is stretched.
7. Tap Create my file, check the size shown is inside the required range, then tap Download.

Why was my file rejected?

The portal says my photo size should be between 10 KB and 200 KB — what do I do?

Open the Exam Photo & Signature Resizer, choose Photo, select Custom, enter 10 as the minimum and 200 as the maximum, add your photo and tap Create my file. The Resizer makes a JPG inside the 10–200 KB range — check the size it shows before you download.

My signature was rejected — is the CUET signature size 10–50 KB?

Yes. For CUET (UG) 2026 the signature must be a clearly legible JPG/JPEG between 10 KB and 50 KB. In the Resizer, choose Signature, select Custom, enter 10 and 50, and create the file again. Some other websites list 10–200 KB for the signature — the bulletin says 10–50 KB.

What pixel size should my CUET photo be?

The CUET (UG) 2026 bulletin does not state pixel dimensions for the photo or the signature. Enter only the KB range in the Resizer and leave width and height empty. Pixel sizes you see on other websites are their own presets, not bulletin rules.

Does CUET need a live photograph as well?

Yes. The bulletin asks for a live photograph taken when you fill the form, using a webcam or a QR code scanned with a mobile or tablet, as well as a recent scanned passport-size photograph. The live photograph is taken inside the CUET form itself.

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. FormReady processes your photo and signature in your browser, on your own device. Your files are never uploaded to FormReady.

Will this guarantee my form is accepted?

No tool can guarantee acceptance. FormReady matches the published size specification; final acceptance is decided by the exam portal. Always check the requirements in your current official notification before submitting.

What else does the CUET form need?

Preparing more than the photo and signature? The Document Pack prepares every document your form needs and downloads them together in one ZIP. Before you upload anything, run each file through the Document Validator — it checks size, format and dimensions against the verified specs and only checks; it never changes your file.

If a file is just over or just under size, the Image Compressor adjusts it to an exact KB. The bulletin also asks some candidates for a disability certificate (scanned PDF, 50–300 KB) or identity proof (JPG/JPEG, 10–200 KB) — the Document Pack covers those too. No thumb impression is needed for CUET.

Prepare everything — Document Pack Check before upload — Document Validator Fix the exact KB — Image Compressor
