Agniveer Photo & Signature Size
The three Agniveer portals do not use the same rules. Air Force in particular wants a sky blue background and a slate with your name on it.
Agniveer photographs are generally 10-50 KB at about 350 x 450 px in JPEG. The catch is the background: Army and Navy want a plain light or white background, while Air Force (Agniveer Vayu) requires a sky blue background and a black slate held with your name and photo date in white chalk capitals. Set the size in PhotoResizer.

Why Agniveer uploads get rejected
For Air Force it is almost always the background and the slate: a white-background photo is rejected where sky blue is required, and the black slate must show your name and the date the photo was taken in white chalk, in capital letters. Across all three services, signing in block capitals is prohibited - the signature must be in running hand. The rest is file size, since a phone photo is several megabytes against a 50 KB cap.

- Open PhotoResizer and upload your photograph.
- Set 350 x 450 px and a target inside 10-50 KB, then download.
- Repeat for the signature in running hand, black or dark blue ink on unruled white paper.
