UGC NET Photo Size: 10 to 200 KB
The short answer
UGC NET uses the same 10 to 200 KB range as other NTA exams and lets you choose colour or black and white. The latest bulletin I could read is June 2025, so check the notice for your cycle before you upload. It names no pixel size either, so the tool below uses 413 × 531.
Copy the numbers from your own exam notice: sizes change from year to year and between exams.
The file is made exactly 413 × 531 pixels and under 200 KB (you are told if it ends up below 10 KB). It is counted as 1 KB = 1,000 bytes, so it fits whether the website counts 1,000 or 1,024.
Your files stay on your device. This tool runs entirely in your browser and nothing is uploaded to a server.

Frequently asked questions
Is the UGC NET photo rule the same every cycle?
It has been the same in recent bulletins I could read, but the NTA can change it. The page says which bulletin it was read from, and you should always check the one for your cycle.
Can I upload a scanned photo?
Yes, a scan or a phone photo both work as long as the picture is clear and the file stays within the size range. Do not upload a photo of a printed photo if the face is blurred.
What size should the UGC NET signature be?
The same bulletin gives 4 KB to 30 KB for the signature. See the UGC NET signature page for the steps.
