- Upload Your Image: You will likely see an option to “Upload Image” or “Select File.” Click this and choose the photograph or signature file from your computer.
- Set Specifications:
- For Photograph: The UGC NET exam requires a photograph between 10 KB and 200 KB in file size and typically around 3.5 cm x 4.5 cm in dimensions. You’ll need to input these specifications. Some tools allow you to set dimensions in pixels, cm, mm, or inches.
- For Signature: For the signature, the file size is generally between 4 KB and 30 KB, and the dimensions are often around 4 cm x 2 cm.
- Sarkari Tools also provides options to set dimensions by pixel size or in KB. You may find options to directly specify the desired KB range for your photo or signature.

Important Considerations for UGC NET:
- Photograph:
- Dimensions: 3.5 cm x 4.5 cm.

When using online tools, always double-check the final file size and dimensions against the official UGC NET requirements before uploading. Some tools might have specific presets for exams, or you might need to manually enter the pixel dimensions that correspond to the required physical size. For example, if you need a photo of 3.5cm x 4.5cm, you would need to find the equivalent pixel dimensions based on the DPI (dots per inch) the tool uses or allows you to set.
Additional Guidelines
