Navy Agniveer (SSR/MR) Photo & Signature Resizer
Prepare your Indian Navy Agniveer (SSR/MR) photograph and signature for the joinindiannavy.gov.in application. Navy has one requirement many candidates get wrong: your photograph must be taken while holding a black slate with your name and photo date written on it — it is not a separate upload, it's part of the same photograph.

Navy Agniveer Photo & Signature Requirements
Indian Navy Agniveer (SSR/MR) recruitment is handled directly through joinindiannavy.gov.in, separate from Army Agnipath (CEE) and Air Force Agniveer Vayu (CASB). If you're also applying to another branch, use our general Agniveer photo & signature resizer instead — the requirements can differ by branch.
| Document | Dimensions | File Size | Format | Main Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Photograph | Passport-size | 10–50 KB | JPG/JPEG | Light background, front portrait, holding a black slate with name and photo date in white chalk, capital letters |
| Signature | — | Check current advertisement | JPG/JPEG | Clear handwritten signature on plain white paper |

Important
The photo requirements (10–50 KB and black slate details) follow closely matching wording used across recent SSR and MR recruitment advertisements. A signature upload is also reported as part of the Navy Agniveer application process, but the exact signature file-size requirement should be confirmed in the current SSR/MR advertisement before uploading.
Navy Agniveer Photograph Requirements
- Recent, passport-size, colour photograph.
- File size 10–50 KB.
- Light background with a clear front portrait — not a full-body shot.
- No headgear, except for Sikh candidates.
- Must be taken on or after the date specified in the current advertisement.
- The photograph must be taken while holding a black slate in front of your chest, with your name and the date of the photograph written on it in white chalk, capital letters.
- This is uploaded as one single file — the slate is part of the photograph, not a separate document.
- Format: JPG/JPEG.
Some third-party guides describe an exact date format for the slate text or claim the name must match your Aadhaar card. We could not confirm either detail in the advertisement wording we checked — write your name and the date clearly and legibly, and follow any explicit format instruction shown on the application portal itself.
A live photograph is also captured through your webcam during the application process, separate from this uploaded file.

- 6
Preview and download
Confirm that both your face and the slate text remain clearly legible.
Navy Agniveer Signature Requirements
Navy Agniveer SSR/MR application instructions include a scanned signature uploaded separately from the photograph. Because exact file-size requirements can vary between recruitment batches, always confirm the current limit before uploading.

- Use black or blue ink.
- Use your normal handwritten signature.
- Do not upload typed text.
- Format: JPG/JPEG.
- Some current application guides report a maximum size of around 20 KB, but confirm the exact limit in your current advertisement.

Scan or photograph it
Use good, even lighting and avoid shadows.

Common Navy Agniveer Upload Problems
| Problem | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Photo is rejected | Confirm it's JPG/JPEG, within the 10–50 KB range, passport-size, and clearly shows the required slate. |
| Slate text is unreadable | Use clear, thick chalk writing and photograph in bright, even lighting. |
| Face isn't clearly visible | Make sure the slate doesn't cover any part of your face and that the portrait is properly framed. |
| Signature is rejected | Check that it is handwritten, clear, on plain white paper, and within the current size limit. |
| Wrong background | Use a plain, light background for the photo — not a busy or dark background. |
| Headgear issue | No headgear is allowed except for Sikh candidates — check the current advertisement if you're unsure about the applicable rule. |
| Photo taken too early | Confirm the "not before" date in the current advertisement — an older photo may be rejected. |
| Using another branch's specification | Army, Air Force and Navy Agniveer requirements differ — don't assume a file prepared for another branch will meet Navy requirements. |
If your file is above the allowed limit, use our image compressor to reduce its file size.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to upload a separate slate photo for Navy Agniveer?
No. The black slate is part of your required photograph — you hold the slate while the photograph is taken, rather than uploading it as a second file.
What is the file size for the Navy Agniveer photo?
Recent SSR/MR advertisements commonly specify a range of 10 KB to 50 KB. Confirm the exact figure in your current advertisement.
What should I write on the Navy Agniveer slate?
Write your name and the date the photograph was taken in white chalk, using capital letters. We could not confirm a specific date format or an Aadhaar-matching requirement in the advertisement wording we checked, so follow any explicit format instruction shown on the current application portal.
Is headgear allowed in the Navy Agniveer photo?
Recent advertisement wording generally does not allow headgear, except for Sikh candidates. Confirm the current rule in your applicable recruitment advertisement.
Does Navy Agniveer require a signature upload?
Yes. Navy Agniveer SSR/MR application instructions include a separate scanned signature upload. Some application guides report a maximum size of around 20 KB in JPG/JPEG format, but you should confirm the exact file-size limit in the current SSR/MR advertisement before uploading.
Is the Navy Agniveer photo the same as the Army or Air Force Agniveer photo?
No. Each branch runs its own recruitment process and requirements can differ. Do not assume a file prepared for Army or Air Force Agniveer will automatically meet the current Indian Navy requirements.
Is there also a live photo during the Navy Agniveer application?
Yes. In addition to the photograph you upload, a live photograph is captured through your webcam during the application process.
Can I resize my Navy Agniveer photo and signature on mobile?
Yes. Upload the image from your phone browser, crop it, adjust the file size, preview and download.
Is my photo uploaded to your server?
No. This tool processes your images locally in your browser. Your files are not uploaded, stored or shared with our servers.
