CTET Photo & Signature Size — resize for the CTET application
CTET's online application has a wider acceptable file-size range than most exams, but still rejects images outside it. Use the table below, then resize instantly with the Custom option in the tool.
Open the resizer →Size requirements
| Type | Dimensions | File size | Format |
|---|---|---|---|
| Photograph | 3.5 cm × 4.5 cm | 10 KB – 100 KB | JPG/JPEG |
| Signature | same frame as photo (proportional) | 3 KB – 30 KB | JPG/JPEG |
These figures are compiled from the official application guidelines and widely-used reference sources, but exam authorities occasionally revise requirements between recruitment cycles. Always confirm against your own notification before submitting.
How it works
- 1.Open the resizer and upload your photo or signature.
- 2.Select Custom from the preset dropdown and enter the exact width, height, and KB limit shown below (always cross-check with your own exam's official notification, since requirements can change between cycles).
- 3.Drag to crop and position your image inside the frame.
- 4.Download — the file is resized and compressed to fit the limit automatically.
Frequently asked questions
Why is CTET's size range wider than other exams?
CTET allows a broader KB range than banking/SSC exams, but the image must still fit within it — the resizer handles this automatically.
Can I use the same photo for CTET and a teaching state-TET exam?
Many state TETs use similar conventions, but check your specific state's notification.
