UPTET Photo Specifications 2026
UPTET (Uttar Pradesh Teacher Eligibility Test), conducted through UPESSC's (UP Education Service Selection Commission) official application portal, is a qualifying exam for teaching eligibility — a different category from the banking, SSC, and police recruitment exams that make up most of this site's guides. Candidates are typically B.Ed or D.El.Ed qualified, applying to establish eligibility to teach in UP government schools rather than sitting a direct recruitment exam. The photo requirement itself follows a standard passport-style format: 35mm × 45mm, sized between 30KB and 300KB.
| Parameter | Required Value | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Dimensions | 35mm × 45mm (3.5cm × 4.5cm) | Confirmed |
| File Format | JPG or PNG — both accepted | Confirmed — dual format |
| File Size Range | 30 KB – 300 KB | Confirmed |
| Background | White or light, plain background | Confirmed |
UPTET Signature Specifications 2026
The signature carries the same dual-format allowance as the photo:
| Parameter | Required Value |
|---|---|
| Dimensions | 35mm × 15mm (3.5cm × 1.5cm) |
| File Format | JPG or PNG — both accepted |
| File Size Range | 10 KB – 200 KB |
| Background | Plain white paper |
Most exams covered on this site — SSC, IBPS, UP Police, and others — accept JPEG/JPG only, and candidates who are used to that pattern sometimes assume every government form works the same way. UPTET is a real exception: its application portal accepts both JPG and PNG for the photo and signature. That said, if you're not specifically choosing PNG for a reason (like preserving a transparent background, which isn't relevant here anyway), JPG remains the more universally recognised format and keeps your file size easier to control — PNG files tend to be larger for the same visual quality, so watch the 300KB (photo) and 200KB (signature) ceilings if you go that route.

Open UPTET Resizer →UPTET Is a Teacher-Eligibility Exam, Not a Recruitment Exam
It's worth understanding what UPTET actually qualifies you for, since it shapes how you should think about the application overall: passing UPTET establishes your eligibility to apply for teaching posts in Uttar Pradesh government schools — it is not itself a direct recruitment exam like SSC GD or UP Police Constable. Most candidates are already B.Ed or D.El.Ed qualified by the time they sit for it. That context doesn't change the mechanical photo requirements, but it's a genuinely different applicant profile from the police and banking exams that dominate this site, and worth keeping in mind if you're cross-referencing other guides here.
Common Mistakes With UPTET Photos
Do's
- Confirm whether you're uploading JPG or PNG, and check the file size against the correct range either way (30KB–300KB for the photo)
- Keep the photo at exactly 35mm × 45mm and the signature at 35mm × 15mm
- Use a plain white or light background for both the photo and signature
- Default to JPG unless you have a specific reason to use PNG — it's the more broadly expected format even where PNG is technically allowed
Don'ts
- Don't assume UPTET is JPEG-only just because most other exams are — PNG genuinely works here
- Don't let a PNG file balloon past the 300KB (photo) or 200KB (signature) ceiling — PNG compresses less efficiently than JPEG for photographic images
- Don't reuse a photo prepared for a strictly JPEG-only exam's spec without checking UPTET's own 35×45mm dimensions and size range
- Don't confuse UPTET's teacher-eligibility context with a direct recruitment exam — the document requirements around it may differ from what you're used to on police or banking forms

UPTET फोटो साइज़ — हिंदी में जानकारी
बहुत से उम्मीदवार पूछते हैं — UPTET फोटो का साइज़ कितना होना चाहिए? जवाब है: फोटो 35mm × 45mm की होनी चाहिए, फाइल साइज़ 30KB से 300KB के बीच। सिग्नेचर 35mm × 15mm की होनी चाहिए, 10KB से 200KB के बीच। सबसे खास बात — UPTET में JPG और PNG दोनों फॉर्मेट स्वीकार किए जाते हैं, जबकि ज़्यादातर एग्ज़ाम सिर्फ़ JPEG/JPG ही मांगते हैं।
ध्यान रहें — UPTET कोई सीधी भर्ती परीक्षा नहीं है, बल्कि यह उत्तर प्रदेश के सरकारी स्कूलों में शिक्षक बनने की पात्रता तय करने वाली परीक्षा है। ज़्यादातर उम्मीदवार पहले से B.Ed या D.El.Ed योग्यता रखते हैं। यह इस साइट पर मौजूद पुलिस और बैंकिंग एग्ज़ाम की तुलना में एक अलग तरह की परीक्षा है।
