Common University Entrance Test (Undergraduate) — resize your photo, signature, and documents to the exact size required. Nothing is ever uploaded.

Also need to: compress a PDF to a size limit or make a passport-style photo?
Common University Entrance Test (Undergraduate) applicants need their photo and signature to match the portal's exact upload requirements — currently photo, signature, each with its own pixel size and file-size window. National-level entrance tests process lakhs of applications through fully automated portals, so a photo or signature that's a few KB over the limit, or slightly the wrong pixel size, is rejected instantly rather than flagged for manual review.
This page pre-loads CUET UG's own spec into the resizer below, one tab per required item, so you can upload a photo, crop it to the correct ratio, and compress it into the required KB range without looking up a single number yourself.
National-level entrance tests process lakhs of applications through fully automated portals, so a photo or signature that's a few KB over the limit, or slightly the wrong pixel size, is rejected instantly rather than flagged for manual review. Entering the target pixel size and KB range once, instead of fighting with an image editor's percentage-based "save for web" slider, is what actually gets a file to land inside a specific window on the first try.
The resizer binary-searches JPEG quality first (the gentlest way to shrink a file) and only reduces the actual pixel dimensions if quality alone can't fit under the maximum — so a photo doesn't get visibly softer than it needs to be just to hit a byte count.
Check the final pixel dimensions, not just the file size — a correctly-sized-in-KB image at the wrong width/height can still be rejected. Everything runs in your browser using Canvas and WebAssembly — your photo is never uploaded anywhere, including to this site.
Common reasons a CUET UG photo or signature gets rejected:
As loaded in this tool (not yet independently verified against the latest official notification): photo at null×nullpx (10-300 KB), signature at null×nullpx (4-30 KB). Always cross-check this against the current CUET UG notification before submitting, since specs can change between recruitment cycles.
No. Cropping, background removal, and compression all run locally in your browser — your photo is never sent to a server, including ours.
The background isn't plain — a patterned wall, furniture, or another person visible behind you. This tool's crop-and-compress flow is built specifically to avoid that.
A clear photo works fine — sign in dark ink on plain white paper, photograph it in good light, then use this tool's background removal and auto-trim to clean it up into a proper signature file.
Always check the official CUET UG notification directly at https://cuet.nta.nic.in before submitting — specs in this tool are a starting point, not a guarantee they match the current cycle.
