Where this spec comes from
These figures are commonly-cited ranges, read from the official notice by hand and re-checked on a set date — nothing here is scraped, so a number never changes without a person confirming it. The notice for your own exam year always wins.

How do I make a CTET photo to 10–100 KB?
Use the tool below: drop your photo, frame the face, then download a JPG at 3.5×4.5 cm @ 300 dpi (413×531 px) · 1.38×1.77 in within 10–100 KB. TryQuickImg does this in your browser — the file is not uploaded to our servers for processing.
Why do exam photo uploads fail?
Common fails: over the KB cap, wrong pixels, HEIC instead of JPG, dark background, or a cropped face. Resize first, then compress to the printed limit, and convert HEIC→JPG if the portal rejects iPhone photos.
Is my photo uploaded to TryQuickImg?
No. TryQuickImg runs the crop, resize, and compress steps in your browser. After the page loads you can go offline and still finish.
Should I trust this page or the official notice?
The official notice wins. Specs change by year and form version. Use this page as a browser-side prep tool, then match the printed portal rules.
