A requirement that exists almost nowhere else
Alongside the ordinary passport photograph, NTA asks NEET candidates for a postcard-size photograph: 4 × 6 inches, in colour, on a plain white background, taken on or after 1 January of the exam year, with the candidate's name and the date of the photograph printed on it, saved as a JPG between 10 and 200 KB. Around two million people meet this requirement every cycle, and no tool site outside India has ever heard of it.
4 × 6 inches is a physical size, so the text goes inside it
This matters and it is easy to get wrong. A postcard photograph is a print size, which at 300 dots per inch means exactly 1200 × 1800 pixels. If you add a strip underneath for your name, the result is no longer 4 × 6 — it is 4 × 6.7, and printing it means either cropping or shrinking. So the name and date band here is reserved inside the frame, and the photograph is fitted into what remains. The output is 1200 × 1800 whatever you do with it.
Keep the whole photo or fill the frame
Two ways to fit. Keeping the whole photograph scales it until it fits and fills the leftover space with white, so nothing is lost — usually what you want, because a postcard photo of a person is rarely already 2:3. Filling the frame crops the overflow instead, which is right when your original is already close to the correct proportions and you would rather not have white margins.
Name and date, shaped properly
The name is drawn by your browser, which means Devanagari, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Gurmukhi, Malayalam and Kannada come out correctly — with conjuncts formed and vowel signs in the right places — using your own device's fonts. This is one of the main reasons the tool runs on your device rather than on a server, where complex-script shaping is far less reliable.
Landing between 10 and 200 KB
A 1200 × 1800 photograph at full quality is comfortably over 200 KB, so the tool searches for the highest JPEG quality that fits under the ceiling. If a very plain photograph compresses below the 10 KB floor, the file is padded with a JPEG comment block rather than left to be rejected — the size changes and the image does not.
Printing it afterwards
If you also need physical copies, the print sheet tool lays several photographs onto one sheet at true physical size with cut guides. Keep the digital 4 × 6 for the upload and print separately; do not upload a scan of a print, which loses quality twice over and usually picks up a colour cast from the paper.
Common questions
What size is a postcard photo in pixels?
1200 × 1800 pixels, which is 4 × 6 inches at 300 dots per inch. Landscape is 1800 × 1200. That is what this tool produces.
Does NEET really need a second photograph?
Yes. NTA asks for a passport photograph and a separate postcard photograph, both of the same person, both with your name and the date printed on them.
Why is the name printed inside the photo instead of below it?
Because 4 × 6 is a physical print size. Adding a band underneath would make the image taller than 6 inches, and it would be cropped or shrunk when printed.
My photo has white bars down the sides.
That is the "keep the whole photo" setting doing its job — your original is not 2:3. Switch to filling the frame if you would rather crop than pad.
What date do I write on it?
The date the photograph was taken. NEET requires it to be on or after 1 January of the exam year, and that date is what gets checked.
Is anything uploaded?
No. The postcard is composed in your browser and never leaves your device.
