Drop your FMGE photograph, signature or thumb-impression scan, get a JPG under 80 KB — the cap in NBEMS’s own FMGE June 2026 bulletin. Runs entirely in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
The NBEMS application form for the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination takes three images — the photograph, the signature and the left-thumb impression — and the FMGE June 2026 Information Bulletin’s image-upload instructions put the same cap on all three: .jpg/.jpeg, less than 80 KB. The bulletin publishes no pixel dimensions for any of them. It also warns, in its own words, that images “not in accordance with the guidelines” — or left unfixed in the edit window — “shall invite rejection of application”. This page is preset to a 78 KB target so the file lands under 80 KB on every byte convention; PixFit finds the best quality that fits. Drop each image in turn and download the results.
FMGE wants the photo twice: a real-time capture from your webcam while you fill the form, and an uploaded photo not more than 3 months old. The bulletin is blunt about both ends: uploading an older pre-saved photograph “shall invite rejection”, and “in case of gross difference in your appearance in real time photograph and uploaded photograph, the application will be rejected”. So don’t reach for the years-old studio JPEG that passed your last exam form. The uploaded photo must be colour on a white background, no selfie, no spectacles, cap, stethoscope, makeup or ornaments, face taking 70–80% of the frame, full face with ears, neck and shoulders, nothing below the shoulders, and no retouching — the bulletin bans digital enhancement explicitly, and PixFit doesn’t alter your pixels, it only re-encodes.
The signature is your complete signature, not initials, in blue or black ink inside a 3.5×1.5 cm box (width×height) on a blank unlined white page — scanned at 200 dpi and cropped to the box only. At 200 dpi that box works out to roughly 276×118 pixels, which you can type into the Exact size field above if your crop came out loose. On file size the bulletin disagrees with itself: the scanning instructions say less than 80 KB, while the camera-route editing step in the same section says “resize the image to 20–100 Kb”. A 90 KB file passes one sentence and fails the other. The safe answer is the intersection: set the minimum to 21 KB and keep the 78 KB target, and your signature satisfies every sentence in the bulletin. The left-thumb impression is simpler: fresh blue/black ink pad, horizontal print of the left thumb in the same 3.5×1.5 cm box, clear and unsmudged, same under-80 KB rule. One more stake the bulletin spells out: the signature you produce on exam day is checked against the uploaded one, and a mismatch means disqualification.
The top community answer for this exact question says the FMGE photo should be “more than 80 kb” — the bulletin’s rule, inverted — and adds a 3.5×4.5 cm photo size and a 6×3 cm signature box that appear nowhere in NBEMS’s instructions (the 6×3 box is AIIMS’s, a different board). Other guides reproduce the bulletin’s 20–100 Kb line without noticing the contradiction two paragraphs later. The authority is the Information Bulletin for your session on natboard.edu.in — FMGE runs twice a year (June and December), and the December 2026 bulletin should appear there when applications open. NBEMS runs NEET-PG under the same instruction set; if that’s your exam, use the NEET PG page. Heading for US residency instead? The ERAS photo page covers the AAMC/ECFMG upload (JPEG, ≤150 KB).
These three files identify you completely: face, signature, fingerprint. PixFit re-encodes them entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to any server, and the re-encode strips EXIF metadata (including GPS) from phone photos as a side effect. A 4 MB phone photo of your signature box comes out as a clean sub-80 KB JPG in a couple of seconds, and if it lands under 20 KB, the minimum-size padding brings it back inside the window at zero quality cost.
