Top reasons CUET photos get rejected
Wrong file size. A photo outside 10–200 KB, or a signature outside 4–30 KB, is rejected by the portal. The tool above fixes this automatically.
Signature file too large. CUET's 30 KB signature limit is tight — many students get stuck here. The tool compresses it to fit.
Background not white or light. A plain white or light background is required. Dark or busy backgrounds get flagged.
Face too small or not front-facing. Your face should cover about 80% of the photo and look straight at the camera.
Signature in capital letters or blurred. The signature must be legible, in running hand — never block capitals.
Wrong format. Only JPG/JPEG is accepted. PNG and other formats fail.
Note: Like other NTA exams, CUET allows spectacles if you wear them regularly — but not coloured glasses or sunglasses.
How to resize your photo for CUET UG

- Click Resize & compress — the tool outputs a JPG in the correct KB range (10–200 KB for the photo, 4–30 KB for the signature).
