Getting a CUET photo under 200 KB
The CUET (UG) 2026 Information Bulletin asks for a scanned passport-size photograph in colour, with 80% of the face visible including the ears, without a mask, against a white background, as a JPG or JPEG between 10 KB and 200 KB.
The bulletin gives no pixel size, so the photo stays as large as 200 KB allows. Each attempt is a little smaller than the last, and you get the first one that fits.
Tips
- Crop around your head and shoulders before uploading, so your face fills most of the photo.
- Besides this upload, the form takes a live photo with your webcam or phone.
- NTA checks photos against your Aadhaar details, so keep your Aadhaar photo recent.
Requirements from the CUET (UG) 2026 Information Bulletin, checked 7 October 2026. Forms change their rules, so check the form itself if something is rejected.
How it works
- 1
Drop your file
A PDF or an image. It goes over an encrypted connection and nowhere else.
- 2
Pick your limit
Choose the size the form asks for. We start with a cleanup that changes nothing you can see.
- 3
Download it
If it needs more, we find the gentlest quality setting that still fits, and delete everything soon after.
Questions
Is it free?
Yes. There is no sign-up and no watermark.
What happens to my file?
It is processed on our server and deleted automatically: the original 5 minutes after the run finishes, the compressed file after 10. A file you upload but never compress is deleted within 30 minutes. You can also delete everything right away with Delete now.
Will it look worse?
We try a lossless cleanup first, which does not change how the file looks. Only if that is not enough do we lower image quality, and we pick the gentlest setting that still fits your size.
What if my file cannot get that small?
You get the smallest version we could make and a clear note saying so, instead of a file that silently misses the limit.
Why does the size page aim a little under its limit?
Some sites count a kilobyte as 1000 bytes and others as 1024. We aim under the stricter one, so a 200 KB page aims for 200,000 bytes and the file passes either way.
