Drop your photo, get a JPEG between 10 and 200 KB — the scanned-photograph window in NTA’s UGC-NET bulletin. Signature and the PwD single-PDF upload work here too. Nothing is uploaded; it all runs in your browser.
The UGC-NET information bulletin (NTA) asks for scanned images in JPG/JPEG format only: a recent photograph between 10 KB and 200 KB — colour or black & white, 80% face visible (without a mask) including ears, against a white background — and your signature (its size window has a wrinkle covered below). This page is preset for the photo: drop it, download the JPEG, upload it to the form. There's also a live photograph step and, for PwD/PwBD candidates, a single-PDF certificate upload — both covered below.
The June-2026 bulletin states the signature file size as 4 KB–30 KB in its introductory steps — and as 10 KB–50 KB in both the “Steps to apply online” section and the detailed Part III upload instructions, all in the same PDF. Two of three mentions say 10–50 (the intro line reads like a leftover from an older cycle's window). You don't have to guess: a signature file between 10 KB and 30 KB passes every reading. Type 10-30kb into Target, run your signature scan through, and whatever the form's own error messages say wins over any guide — this page included. Sign in running handwriting with a blue or black pen on white paper; the bulletin is explicit that writing your name in capital letters is not accepted as a signature and the form would be rejected.
The bulletin gives no pixel or centimetre dimensions for either upload — the photograph is described only as passport size. Any scan in the Indian passport-photo shape (3.5×4.5 cm portrait — type 350x450 into Exact size if you want a concrete number) inside the KB window will do; file type and kilobytes are what the upload widget actually enforces. If a guide quotes you exact mandatory pixels for UGC NET, it's quoting something the bulletin doesn't say. And if you see guides split between “4–30 KB” and “10–50 KB” for the signature — now you know why: both numbers are genuinely in the official PDF.
Besides the scanned photo, the form captures a live photograph through your camera or webcam while you fill the application (if your device has no webcam, the form shows a QR code so you can do the capture on a phone). The bulletin's advice for it: a light-coloured background, proper lighting, and 80% face visibility including ears, without a mask. No file tool can help with a live capture — just set up decent light before you start the form so you're not fighting the camera step mid-application.
PwD/PwBD candidates upload their Disability Certificate or UDID card with both sides in the same PDF, between 50 KB and 300 KB. PixFit builds exactly that: photograph both sides of the card, drop the two images here, choose PDF as the output format, tick Combine into one PDF, and set Target to 50-300kb — the result is a single two-page PDF guaranteed inside the window (the 50 KB floor is met honestly, with spec-valid padding if your scans compress smaller).
No cap, no goggles — though spectacles are allowed if you use them regularly. Polaroid and computer-generated photos are not acceptable, and NTA warns that a photograph that looks de-shaped, hand-made or computer-made gets the form rejected as unfair means — so no beautify filters or AI headshots; use a plain recent photo. The bulletin also advises keeping 6–8 passport-size prints of the same photograph: the uploaded photo is matched against the one you paste on the attendance sheet at the exam centre. PixFit only does the file plumbing — exact kilobytes, JPEG output (iPhone HEIC decodes right in the browser), and EXIF/GPS stripped by re-encoding. Composition is on you and the bulletin.
These figures come from the UGC-NET June-2026 information bulletin (fetched from NTA's own CDN). UGC NET runs twice a year and every cycle publishes a fresh bulletin at ugcnet.nta.nic.in — the current cycle's PDF and the form's own error messages win if they disagree with anything here. Sitting the science-stream Joint CSIR-UGC NET? Its bulletin is separate and its signature window differs — the CSIR NET page covers it. Applying to other NTA exams too? The CUET UG, JEE Main, NEET and CTET pages cover those formats.
