Before you upload to Indira Gandhi National Open University
- Use a recent photo and save the final file as JPG.

- Keep the file between 4 KB and 100 KB to avoid portal upload errors.
- Use a plain light background with no patterns, shadows or extra border.
Common rejection checks
Most IGNOU upload failures come from the same small issues: wrong pixel size, wrong file type, a file just above the KB limit, or a crop that leaves too much blank space. This page targets the 140 x 160 px and 4-100 KB specification so you can download a ready-to-upload file and still inspect it before final submission.
If your source image is from an iPhone, convert HEIC to JPG first. If the background is not clean enough, use the background remover before running the final resize.
