Postcard Size Photo for NEET 2026: Size, Format, Guidelines & Upload Rules

The Postcard size photograph (4"x6") is a mandatory document for the NEET UG application. Unlike the passport photo, the postcard photo is used for identity verification at the exam center. In this detailed guide, we cover every official NTA requirement to ensure your application isn't rejected.

01. Official Physical & Digital Size

[Write your detailed content here. You can explain that the physical size must be 4 inches by 6 inches. Mention that when scanning, the resolution should be high enough to be clear but small enough to fit the 10KB-200KB limit. You can write as many paragraphs as you need for SEO ranking. By using the text-justify class, this paragraph will look clean and aligned on all devices.]

[Add another justified paragraph here if needed to explain DPI settings, pixel requirements, or aspect ratios. Long text blocks look much more professional for AdSense when they are justified.]

02. Format & Background Requirements

[Write your detailed content here. Discuss the JPG/JPEG format requirement. Emphasize the White Background rule. Explain why NTA does not allow "Blue" or "Red" backgrounds and how it affects the facial recognition software used during the exam. Ensure you mention that the background must be plain without any scenery or shadows.]

The Name-Date Stamp Rule

NTA strictly mandates that your Full Name and Date of Capture must be printed clearly at the bottom of the postcard photo. Use our tool at the top of this page to add this stamp automatically in the correct font and size.

03. NTA Upload Rules & Face Coverage

[Write your detailed content here. Explain the 80% face coverage rule. Mention that ears must be visible. Talk about the "No Spectacles" or "No Cap" rule. Mention that the photo should not be older than 6 months from the date of application. Provide advice on lighting and camera positioning to avoid "Red-eye" effects.]
