CLAT Photo and Signature Size Maker

CLAT is the entrance test for the National Law Universities, not a government job exam, so its applicants are mostly school-leavers and law graduates. The consortium form is unusually vague about photo size, which is why the numbers you see online come from common practice rather than an official table.

Output is JPG, resized to your pixels and kept at or under the max KB. If a minimum is set, the file is padded up to it. Always confirm the exact rules in the official notification.

What CLAT is and what it asks for

The Common Law Admission Test is run by the Consortium of National Law Universities for admission to their five-year law degree and their LLM programmes. You apply on the consortium portal and upload a photograph and a signature.

The official instructions only say a recent passport-size photo on a plain background, without exact numbers. In practice, applicants use a photo around 200x230 pixels at 20 to 50 KB and a signature around 140x60 pixels at 10 to 20 KB, both JPG.

Because those figures are community standard rather than officially published for the cycle, treat them as a safe guide and check the current consortium instructions for your year.

Size the CLAT photo and signature

Resize the photo to the passport shape and compress to a KB size so it fits around 20 to 50 KB. Size the signature the same way to its smaller window, signing in black ink on white paper.

Use a clear, front-facing photo on a plain background, with no tinted glasses or red-eye. Keep your signature the same as the one you will give on the admit card, since a mismatch is the usual flag.

Category, disability, and BPL certificates are uploaded separately as PDFs, so they are not part of the photo and signature step. The tool resizes and compresses only and cannot change the background.
