State TET Photo & Signature Resizer

State Teacher Eligibility Test (varies by state) — resize your photo and documents to the exact size required. Nothing is ever uploaded.

These specs have not yet been verified against the current official notification. Always confirm on the official website before submitting.

Each state runs its own TET with its own portal — check your specific state board’s official notification.

State TET's exact photo/signature specs haven't been loaded into this tool yet. You can still resize your photo using the general tool below — just enter the dimensions and file-size range from the official notification.

What is the State TET Photo & Signature Resizer?

State Teacher Eligibility Test (varies by state) applicants need their photo to match the portal's exact upload requirements — exact numbers for which haven't been loaded into this tool yet (see the notice above). Teaching eligibility test portals typically process a huge volume of applications in a short registration window, so getting your photo and signature right on the first attempt avoids losing time to a resubmission right before the deadline.

This page still gives you the full resizer tool below — you'll just need to enter State TET's dimensions and file-size limits yourself from the official notification, since they haven't been confirmed here yet.

How to use it

Open the official State TET notification (link above) and confirm the current photo requirements — specs do change between recruitment cycles.
Enter the width, height, and KB range from the notification into the resizer below.
Upload your photo or signature — JPG, PNG, WEBP, or a HEIC photo straight from a phone.
Crop to the locked ratio, and use background removal (or paper-background removal for a signature) if the notification requires a plain background.
Click "Resize & Compress" and download once the final size shows green — if it shows red, widen the range slightly or try a different source photo.

How it works, and why it's private

Teaching eligibility test portals typically process a huge volume of applications in a short registration window, so getting your photo and signature right on the first attempt avoids losing time to a resubmission right before the deadline. 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.

Keep a copy of the exact file you uploaded until your application is confirmed, in case you need to resubmit it elsewhere in the same form. Everything runs in your browser using Canvas and WebAssembly — your photo is never uploaded anywhere, including to this site.

Example

Common reasons a State TET photo or signature gets rejected:

• The signature was scanned or photographed on a full sheet of paper with a large blank margin still attached

• The photo is more than a few months old, or taken in different lighting/clothing than what the portal's guidance expects

• The image is blurry or low-resolution after being resized down awkwardly in a messaging app before upload

• The file format doesn't match what's required (a PNG uploaded where only JPG is accepted, or vice versa)

Frequently asked questions

What is the exact photo size for State TET?

This tool doesn't have State TET's exact photo size loaded yet — check the official notification (linked above) and enter the dimensions into the general resizer below.

Is my photo uploaded anywhere when I use this tool?

No. Cropping, background removal, and compression all run locally in your browser — your photo is never sent to a server, including ours.

What's the most common reason State TET rejects an uploaded photo?

The signature was scanned or photographed on a full sheet of paper with a large blank margin still attached. This tool's crop-and-compress flow is built specifically to avoid that.

Can I take the photo with my phone, or does it need a studio?

A phone photo works fine as long as the lighting is even and the background is plain — this tool's crop and background removal handle the rest.

Where do I confirm State TET's current requirements are still accurate?

Always check the official State TET notification directly before submitting — specs in this tool are a starting point, not a guarantee they match the current cycle.
