What is a 4 × 6 Inch Postcard Size Photo for NEET (UG)?

Unlike most Indian entrance examinations that ask for only one small passport photograph, the National Testing Agency (NTA) requires two photograph uploads in the NEET (UG) online application form:

Passport Size Photograph: 10 KB to 200 KB in JPG/JPEG format.
Postcard Size Photograph (4" × 6"): 10 KB to 200 KB in JPG/JPEG format.

Both photographs must be taken from the same camera sitting (white background, at least 80% face coverage, both ears visible, without cap or dark glasses). In addition to uploading the digital file online, you are required to paste a physical 4 × 6 inch print of this exact postcard photograph onto the second page of your NEET Admit Card proforma and hand it to the invigilator in the examination hall.

Converting 4 × 6 Inches into Pixels: Why 1200 × 1800 px?

The NEET Information Bulletin writes the dimension in inches (4" × 6") and kilobytes (10 KB to 200 KB) without printing a pixel figure. Here is how inches convert to pixels:

At 300 DPI (Photo Lab Print Standard): 4 in × 300 = 1200 pixels wide by 6 in × 300 = 1800 pixels tall.
At 200 DPI: 800 × 1200 pixels.
At 150 DPI: 600 × 900 pixels.

We pre-configure the tool above to 1200 × 1800 pixels and compress the output JPEG to land around 145–190 KB (well inside the 10–200 KB window). That way, the exact same file you upload on neet.nta.nic.in can be handed to a photo studio to print a crisp, full-bleed 4 × 6 inch postcard for your admit card.

Adding Candidate Name and Date of Photograph

If you want your Name and Date of Taking Photograph printed cleanly at the bottom of your 1200 × 1800 postcard photo, type them into the Name and Date boxes in the panel above. The tool draws a crisp white nameplate band at the base of the 4 × 6 frame so your face and shoulders are never obscured.

How it works

Select the same portrait photograph you used for your NEET passport photo (both uploads must be from the same sitting).
1200 × 1800 pixels (4 × 6 inch at 300 DPI) and the 10–200 KB window are already filled in.
Optional: Enter your full name and the date the photo was taken to add a clean white caption band at the bottom.
Click 'Resize & Download' to get your 1200 × 1800 px JPG under 200 KB—ready for both the NEET online upload and a 4×6 lab print.

Upload errors and how to fix them

Uploaded postcard photo has the wrong aspect ratio or dimensions

A passport photo (3.5 × 4.5 cm, ratio 7:9) is slightly wider than a 4 × 6 inch postcard (ratio 2:3). Use the pre-filled 1200 × 1800 px preset above to crop your portrait into a true 4 × 6 postcard frame.

Postcard photo file size exceeds 200 KB

At 1200 × 1800 pixels, a raw photo weighs 600 KB to 1.5 MB. Our encoder automatically tunes JPEG quality so your 1200 × 1800 postcard lands safely between 140 KB and 190 KB.

Name and Date of Taking Photograph missing or covering the face

Type your Name and Date in the optional fields above. The tool places a clean white strip at the bottom of the 1200 × 1800 frame without cutting off your chin or shoulders.

Which forms ask for this

Common questions

postcard size photo for neet in pixels — why is 1200 x 1800 px the standard?

A postcard photograph measures 4 inches wide by 6 inches tall. At standard photo-lab printing resolution (300 dots per inch), 4 × 300 = 1200 pixels and 6 × 300 = 1800 pixels. Exporting at 1200 × 1800 px under 200 KB gives you one file that works for the NTA online upload and prints cleanly on 4×6 photo paper for exam day.

Can I use my passport size photo to make the NEET 4x6 postcard photo?

Yes—in fact, NTA requires the passport photo and the 4×6 postcard photo to be from the exact same camera sitting against a white background. Just drop that photo above and it will be framed to 1200 × 1800 px within 10–200 KB.

Is Name and Date on the NEET postcard photo mandatory?

Recent NEET Information Bulletins focus on 80% face coverage with ears visible on a white background, though many coaching institutes and admit-card proforma instructions still ask for Name and Date at the bottom. You can include or omit the strip with one click above.

How do I print this 4x6 postcard photo for the NEET admit card proforma?

Take the downloaded 1200 × 1800 px JPG to any photo studio and ask for a single 4×6 inch print without scaling. Because 1200 × 1800 is already an exact 4×6 inch canvas at 300 DPI, it prints edge-to-edge on standard 4×6 photo paper.
