JPG, PNG or WebP · you can also paste (Ctrl+V)

Your photo stays on your device. Face detection and background removal also run on your device.

NTA gives no pixel size, so this tool outputs 350 x 450 pixels inside the 10 to 200 KB range. You also capture a live photo in the form: use a light-coloured background and good lighting, and if your computer has no webcam, scan the QR code with a phone or tablet.

At the exam centre you need one passport-size print identical to the uploaded photo, for the attendance sheet, so keep a few copies of the same picture.

How to make your JEE Main Photo in 4 steps

Take a clear photo facing the camera, with even light and no shadows, against a background that meets the requirement (white).

The tool centres your face automatically. Tap "Make background white" if needed, adjust with Zoom and Move, and check that every line shows ✅.
Tap Download and upload the JPG file to your application.

Common reasons this photo is rejected

A black and white photo. JEE Main asks for colour.
Face too small or ears hidden by hair. NTA wants 80% face visibility.
A mask, or a background that is not white.
Uploading someone else's photo, which NTA treats as unfair means.
Expecting to fix it later. The bulletin says correction will not be allowed afterwards.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need both a live photo and an uploaded photo for JEE Main?

Yes. The bulletin asks for a live photo captured during the application and a scanned passport-size photo as a JPG/JPEG.

What if my laptop has no webcam?

Scan the QR code in the form with a phone or tablet and capture the live photo there.

What other files does JEE Main ask for?

A signature (JPG, 10 to 100 KB) and your Class 10 certificate or marks sheet as a PDF of 50 to 300 KB, plus a PwD/UDID certificate PDF if it applies.

Is my photo uploaded to a server?
