Step 1: Choose Your Exam

On the MyExamPhoto homepage, you'll see a dropdown menu labeled "Select Exam". We have pre-configured dimensions for over 50+ major Indian exams including NEET UG, JEE Main, Kerala PSC, and UPSC.

Selecting an exam automatically sets the correct:

  • Width and Height (in px or cm)
  • Maximum file size (e.g., 200KB)
  • Required format (JPG/JPEG)

Step 2: Upload Photo

Click the upload box and select your photo file. You can also drag and drop the file. We accept JPG, PNG, and WEBP formats.

Exam Name Dimensions File Size
NEET UG Passport Size 10KB - 200KB
Kerala PSC 150px x 200px Max 30KB
JEE Main 3.5cm x 4.5cm 10KB - 200KB

Step 3: Crop Correctly

A cropper window will appear. This is the most critical step. Adjust the box to frame your face and shoulders strictly. Use the scroll wheel to zoom in or out.

Pro Tip: Ensure both ears are visible and you are looking straight at the camera. Do not tilt your head.

Step 4: Process & Download

Click 'Process Photo'. The tool will resize and compress the image instantly in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to a remote server, ensuring 100% privacy.

Check the preview and the final file size. If it looks good, click 'Download'. Your photo is now ready for upload!
