Frequently Asked Questions
Is the JEE Main photo size in pixels fixed?
No. The bulletin sets only the file size, 10–200 KB. This page starts at passport size, 413 × 531 px, and you can type another width and height.
Will my file be accepted?
The sizes come from the official notice linked on this page, and the badge shows when your file is inside the range. Rules change with each notice, so always check the current one before you submit.
Does it change my face or background?
No. It only crops, resizes and compresses, so your photo stays as it was taken.
Does it work on phones?
Yes. It works in modern mobile browsers, and iPhone HEIC photos open directly.
