CUET UG Photo and Signature Size 2026

About the CUET upload rules

CUET UG is the common entrance test for undergraduate admissions to central universities and many other universities, conducted by the National Testing Agency. Like other NTA exams, it accepts a photo between 10 and 200 KB and a signature between 4 and 30 KB, both in JPG.

CUET applications are often filled from phones, so a clear photo taken in daylight and a signature on white paper are all you need. The tool works on mobile and keeps your files on your phone.

How to make the CUET signature

2. Take a photo from straight above in good light, without your shadow on the paper.
3. Tap Signature above, choose the photo and crop tightly around the signature.
4. Keep Make paper pure white on. It removes shadows and grey paper.
5. Download the file. It will be 400 x 160 px and 4 to 30 KB.

No paper nearby? Use Sign on screen in the tool and sign with your finger. Some exams want a signature on paper only, so check the notification if you are unsure.

Common reasons CUET uploads get rejected

• The file is a few KB over the limit because it was compressed on a different site that counts KB differently. This tool stays safely inside both ways of counting.
• The photo is stretched because it was resized without cropping. Always crop to the right shape first, as the tool does.
• The background is busy or dark. Use a plain light wall, or the FormKit app's white background option.
• The signature is faint or on lined paper. Sign darker on plain paper.
• The file is PNG or HEIC instead of JPG. Files made here are always JPG.
