Drop a marksheet scan or document, get a JPEG or one-page PDF under the AIBE portal’s real 600 KB rule — the number in the Bar Council’s own helpdesk FAQ. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
The All India Bar Examination is run by the Bar Council of India; notifications live at allindiabarexamination.com and registration happens on a per-edition portal (for AIBE-XXI it was aibexxi.register.smartexams.in). Across the whole application — semester marksheets, the enrolment certificate or undertaking, ID proof — the one numeric rule the Council’s own helpdesk FAQ publishes is this: uploads must be in JPG, JPEG or PDF and each file must be under 600 KB. The same FAQ’s own advice when a file won’t upload: “You may compress the file before uploading” — without saying how. That is what this page does: it’s preset to 585 KB, safely under 600 KB whichever way the server counts a kilobyte, and everything runs in your browser.
AIBE’s document list is unusually heavy. A final-semester candidate on a 3-year LL.B uploads marksheets for semesters I–V; on a 5-year integrated course, semesters I–IX; graduates awaiting their degree upload all semesters. Each must be a self-attested scanned copy — the instructions say twice, in so many words, not a mobile photo — and each file must clear the 600 KB gate. A colour scan at 300 DPI routinely comes out at 1–3 MB, so most applicants hit the cap on file after file. Drop each scan here: PixFit binary-searches encoder quality for the best-looking file at 585 KB — or switch the output to PDF and get a one-page PDF with the fitted image embedded, the finished file still guaranteed at-or-under target, since the portal accepts PDF everywhere it accepts JPEG. Already have a multi-page PDF (a combined marksheet file)? The PDF compressor at a 500 KB target clears the 600 KB rule with margin.
There is no public first-party pixel or byte spec for the AIBE photograph and signature. Both of the Council’s official FAQs answer the upload question the same way: “Please check the Dimension, Size and File type before uploading” — the actual limits are enforced by the registration portal itself at upload time, and that portal is only online while a registration window is open. So: believe the form on your screen. When it states a size, type it into the target (and Exact size) fields above and this page will hit it precisely. Until then the safe preparation is generic: a portrait passport-style crop on a plain light background for the photo, and a signature in black ink on white paper — scanned, not photographed at an angle. If your signature scan picked up grey paper or shadows, the signature cleanup tool whitens the background and hands back a clean JPEG ready to fit.
Resizer sites fill the vacuum with confident, mutually contradicting numbers: one sells an “AIBE photo” at 350×450 px, 10–50 KB with a 350×150 signature; another says 200×230 px, 10–200 KB; a third circulates 10–50 KB for both plus “50–500 KB” certificates. They cannot all be right, and none of those figures appear in any Bar Council document — the only number in the Council’s own FAQ is the 600 KB document cap. Some of those figures may echo an older edition’s portal; the current edition’s form is the only authority, which is why this page tells you to read it rather than inventing a spec.
Candidates not yet enrolled with a State Bar Council (final-semester students, graduates awaiting enrolment) upload a signed undertaking — again a scanned copy of the signed document, not a mobile photo. Enrolled candidates upload a self-attested enrolment certificate. All of it rides under the same 600 KB rule. These uploads aren’t throwaway: the photo and signature you submit are printed on the Certificate of Practice issued after you pass — the Council’s FAQ has a whole section on correcting a COP with a wrong or missing photo. Upload files you’d want on your practice certificate.
This is India’s licence-to-practise exam: per the Council’s own press release, AIBE-XXI was held on 7 June 2026 across 292 centres in 60 cities with 1,75,701 candidates, and results were declared in July 2026 with a 65.92% pass rate. Registration for the next edition opens with a notification on the AIBE website — and historically the portal opens, the marksheet uploads jam, and the helpdesk FAQ’s “compress the file” advice becomes the most-needed sentence in Indian legal education. Prepare the scans before the window opens and the form is ten minutes of work.
Marksheets and certificates carry your name, roll numbers and college history; an enrolment certificate carries your Bar Council number. None of it should detour through a resizer’s server: PixFit runs entirely in your browser — files never leave your device — and the re-encode strips EXIF metadata (including GPS) as a side effect. Register only through the portal linked from allindiabarexamination.com. Sitting other law exams too? See CLAT, AILET and the full verified table.

The AIBE-XXI registration window has closed and the registration portal is offline between editions; each edition’s portal restates its own photo/signature rules on the form — if the form on your screen disagrees with this page, believe the form.
