What the NEET PG size rules mean
- The NEET PG photo is a portrait with the same shape as a 35×45mm passport photo at 350×450 pixels.
- Its 80KB photo limit is more generous than the typical 60KB across the 14 central government exams on KbSnap (5 of 14 allow a larger file).
- The signature box is a wide box (7:3), 2.3 times wider than it is tall at 350×150 pixels, 10–80KB.
Tips for this spec
- 80KB is tight for a 350×450 photo. A plain light background and even lighting leave more of the file size for your face, so it stays sharp.
Verify the current requirement on the official NEET PG website before you upload. Sizes can change with each notification.
Common reasons NEET PG uploads are rejected
- The photo must be taken within the last 3 months against a white background, with the face covering 70–80% of the frame. Selfies, spectacles and caps are not allowed.
- Sign in black or dark blue ink inside a 3.5 cm × 1.5 cm box and crop exactly to the box. A loose crop with extra paper around it is a common reason for rejection.
- The photo, signature and thumb impression must each be under 80KB in JPG/JPEG. A raw phone photo is usually several MB.

Frequently Asked Questions
What photo size does KbSnap use for NEET PG?
The KbSnap preset for the NEET PG photo is 350×450px, 10–80KB, in JPG format. Confirm these numbers in your current notification before you upload, and aim for the middle of the KB range so a re-save does not push the file over the limit.
What signature size does KbSnap use for NEET PG?
The KbSnap preset for the NEET PG signature is 350×150px, 10–80KB. Sign on plain white paper in the ink colour your notification asks for (black is the safest choice) and crop tightly so the signature is clearly readable.
How do I reduce my NEET PG signature to 10–80KB?
Upload your scanned signature in the Signature step above, adjust the crop, and process it. KbSnap resizes it to 350×150px and compresses it into the 10–80KB range, then shows a pass/fail check before you download.
Any special rules for NEET PG?
The NEET-PG 2026 bulletin asks for each file to be under 80KB, the signature to be signed in black or dark blue ink inside a 3.5 cm × 1.5 cm box, and a colour photo taken within the last 3 months against a white background.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. Cropping, resizing, and compression all happen in your browser using the Canvas API. The file never leaves your device.
Why do different exams need different sizes?
Each exam body sets its own portal validation rules independently — there's no shared standard across UPSC, SSC, banking, and state PSCs.
