The Rajasthan Eligibility Examination for Teacher (REET) is one of the most prestigious exams for aspirants who want to teach in government schools across Rajasthan. With the Board of Secondary Education, Rajasthan (BSER) maintaining strict standards for online applications, the document upload stage is where many candidates face their first challenge.
A blurry signature, a dark background photo, or a marksheet PDF that crosses the size limit can cause your application to get flagged as Defective. As a fellow exam aspirant, I know that when the REET notification is out, your mind should be on Child Development, Pedagogy, and Subject Knowledge'not on technical pixel errors.
At SarkariPixel.in, we focus on a gold standard workflow: Enhance for readability, Resize for exact proportions, and Compress to hit portal KB limits without destroying clarity.
Tap & go (tools)
Note: Compression Lab is for images (JPG/PNG). If your PDF is too large, use the safe PDF → Image → compress images → Images → PDF loop.
1) REET 2026 technical specifications overview
Rajasthan portals are very specific about both the dimensions and the visual weight (KB) of your identity documents. If you are applying for Level 1, Level 2, or both, keep these files ready before you start the form.
Official document specification table
| Document Type | Format | Dimensions | File Size (KB) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Passport Photograph | JPG / JPEG | 3.5 cm × 4.5 cm | 20 KB – 50 KB |
| Official Signature | JPG / JPEG | 3.5 cm × 1.5 cm | 10 KB – 20 KB |
| B.Ed / BSTC Marksheet | PDF only | N/A | Under 300 KB |
| Category Certificate | PDF only | N/A | Under 300 KB |
2) Preparing the gold standard REET photo & signature
REET exams often happen in hot months, and biometric verification at centers can be strict. Your uploaded photo must match your real face clearly. Meanwhile, the signature must be professional and readable'government systems often auto-convert or downscale images, so you need clean ink contrast.
Step 1: Enhance for mobile scans (signature first)
Most candidates click signature photos using a smartphone. This often produces a grayish background that looks unprofessional and can trigger portal rejection.
- Open Enhance Lab.
- Upload your signature photo.
- Enhance until the paper background becomes clean white and the ink becomes deep black (avoid over-processing).
- Download the enhanced signature.
Step 2: Use the SSC/Universal preset (photo proportions)
We don't have a button labeled REET yet, but our SSC preset uses the same standard 3.5 cm × 4.5 cm photo ratio required by many Rajasthan portals.
- Open Launch Toolkit.
- Select the SSC preset.
- Upload your photo: the tool locks the aspect ratio so your face doesn't look stretched.
Step 3: Hit safe KB targets (without blur)
Once your photo and signature are correctly sized, target safe KB values so the upload never fails on a slow network day:
- Photo: target ~45 KB (within 20–50 KB)
- Signature: target ~15 KB (within 10–20 KB)
Use Compression Lab for JPG/PNG images and verify readability at 100% zoom before downloading.
3) The marksheet challenge: the image to PDF loop (safe workflow)
REET candidates must upload B.Ed, BSTC, Graduation marksheets and category certificates in PDF format. Many students have a 2MB scan PDF and the portal asks for 300 KB.
Important technical warning: Our Resize and Compress tools are strictly for images. If your PDF is too large, use this professional SarkariPixel loop to keep roll numbers and marks readable:
- Use PDF → Image to convert each page into JPG/PNG.
- Use Compression Lab to hit a target like 2–50 KB total (or lower if multiple pages).
- Use Images → PDF to assemble it back into a sharp, portal-ready PDF under 300 KB.
4) Why privacy-first matters for Rajasthan aspirants
Students in Rajasthan often travel to nearby cities to fill forms at E-Mitra centers or cyber cafes. That is a major privacy risk: Aadhaar numbers, signatures, and certificates can get saved on public computers.
- 100% client-side: processing happens locally in your browser.
- No uploads: we don't send your documents to a server.
- Session privacy: your documents disappear when you close the tab.
5) Common rejection reasons for REET (avoid these)
- Signature in blue ink: BSER prefers black ink. Blue can look faint after grayscale/downscaling.
- Selfies: avoid front camera distortion. Use a normal photo with a light background.
- Shadowy thumb impression (if required): use Enhance Lab to make ridges visible and sharp.
6) Pro-tip: build your REET Digital Kit
As a founder who balances exam preparation with building this site, I know the value of time. Don't wait for the REET portal to open to organize your documents.
- Prepare your ~45KB photo and ~15KB signature using SarkariPixel.
- Prepare your marksheets/certificates PDFs under 300 KB using the PDF → Image loop.
- Store them in a folder named REET_2026_FINAL.
When the application window opens, you can finish your form quickly while others struggle with file size errors.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I use a photo with a red/blue background?
A: BSER typically recommends a white or very light background. Dark or multi-colored backgrounds increase rejection risk. If your background looks dirty, use Enhance Lab lightly to clean it.
Q: My PDF is 3–10 KB. Will it be accepted?
A: Treat 300 KB as a hard limit. Use the safe loop: PDF → Image → compress images → Images → PDF and aim ~2–80 KB for safety.
Q: Does SarkariPixel work on Android?
A: Yes. It works in your mobile browser. On many phones you'll also see an Install option (PWA) so you can pin it like an app and open it quickly.
