Complete Guide to KTET Photo & Signature Upload (2025)
Applying for the Kerala Teacher Eligibility Test (KTET) requires adherence to Pareeksha Bhavan's digital image standards. Incorrect dimensions or blurry images are common reasons for application issues. This tool ensures your files meet the exact 150x200px and 150x100px requirements.
1 Passport Photo Guidelines
- Recent Color Photo: The photograph must be taken within the last 6 months. Old photos where your appearance has changed significantly may lead to disqualification during verification.
- Background: Use a plain white or off-white background. Avoid dark, patterned, or shadowed backgrounds.
- Lighting: Ensure even lighting on your face. Avoid shadows on the eyes or background. Flash reflections on spectacles are a common reason for rejection.
- Expression: Maintain a neutral expression. Look directly at the camera. Both ears should be visible.
- Attire: Formal or casual wear is acceptable. Avoid wearing hats, caps, or dark glasses (unless for medical reasons).
- The "Name & Date" Rule: While sometimes optional, adding your Name and Date of Photo is recommended for clarity. Our tool makes this easy. Check official notification for specific category requirements.
2 Signature Guidelines
- Ink Color: strict use of Blue or Black ink only. Red, Green, or other colors are not accepted.
- Paper: Sign on a clean, plain white paper. Do not use ruled or textured paper.
- Size: The signature must be clear and legible. Use a space of approx 3.5cm x 1.5cm before scanning.
- Clarity: The digital image must be clear. Blurry, pixelated, or faint signatures will be rejected.
- No Capital Letters: Do not sign in all capital letters; this is not considered a valid signature.
100% Secure & Client-Side: How It Works
Most online resizers upload your personal photos to a remote server to process them. This creates a privacy risk. Safe Web Utils is different.
- ✔ No Server Uploads: Your images are processed locally in your browser using JavaScript. They never leave your computer or phone.
- ✔ Instant Processing: Since there is no upload/download lag, resizing happens in milliseconds.
- ✔ Data Privacy: We do not store, view, or sell your data. Once you close this tab, the data is gone forever.
Why Applications Get Rejected?
Uploading a 200px wide image when 125px is required causes distortion or cropping by the official server.
Forgetting to crop or resizing incorrectly can lead to form rejection.
Reducing file size below 20KB manually often makes the face or signature unreadable.
How to Use This Tool Properly
Step 1: Take a High-Quality Source Image.
Use your mobile phone's main camera (not selfie camera) in daylight. Stand 1 meter away from a white wall.
Step 2: Upload to Tool.

Step 3: Enable Annotation.

Step 4: Verify and Download.
