Upload errors and how to fix them
These are the messages the IAF Agniveervayu portal shows. Each one has a fix.
- Error:
File size should be between 100 KB and 200 KB
- Fix: Unusually, the IAF photo must be at least 100 KB. Do not compress it to 20–50 KB like bank forms; Auto-fit keeps it inside 100–200 KB.
- Error:
Photo does not match live image
- Fix: The form will not submit until the uploaded photo matches the live webcam image. Take both on the same day, without changes in beard or headgear.
- Error:
Slate with name and date not visible
- Fix: The slate must be readable in the photo. Write large with white chalk and do not crop it out.
- Error:
Signature file too small
- Fix: The signature must be 80–150 KB, far more than most exams. Auto-fit raises quality and size to reach it.
About the IAF Agniveervayu upload rules
The IAF Agniveervayu form turns the usual advice upside down. Most exams want small files; here the photo must be 100–200 KB, the signature 80–150 KB and the left thumb impression 50–100 KB. A photo compressed to 30 KB for a bank form will be refused.
The slate photo
Your photo must show you holding a black slate in front of your chest, with your name and the date the photo was taken written on it in white chalk, in capital letters. It must be a colour photo taken within one month of registration, on a light background, with no face mask or headgear (except for Sikh candidates). SahiSize does not add a printed strip for IAF, because the notice asks for a real slate in the picture.
Tips for the slate:
- Write large; the letters must be readable after the photo is resized.
- Hold the slate below your chin so it does not cover your face.
- When cropping, keep both your face and the whole slate inside the frame.
Live image match
During registration a live image is captured with your webcam and compared with the uploaded photo. You can submit only if they match. Take the uploaded photo close to the day you register, and do not change your beard or hairstyle in between.
Your checklist
- Slate photo, 100–200 KB.
- Signature in black ink, signed only by you. Scan just the signature area, not the full page; 80–150 KB.
- Left thumb impression from a stamp pad on plain paper; scan only the thumb area; 50–100 KB.
- If you are under 18 on the day you apply: your father’s, mother’s or guardian’s signature. The notice gives no size, but the official portal’s upload page lists 80–150 KB, the same as yours.
Timing
Intake 02/2027 registration ran from 06 July to 26 July 2026. IAF usually opens intakes around January and July.
If the portal still rejects it
Look for a file that is too small rather than too big. Then retake the slate photo in brighter light if the live match fails.
IAF Agniveervayu size FAQ
What is the IAF Agniveervayu photo size?
JPG, 100–200 KB, not older than one month, light background, holding a black slate with your name and the photo date in white chalk capitals.
Can SahiSize add the name and date for me?

I am 17. What extra do I upload?
Your father's, mother's or guardian's signature, scanned and uploaded in the separate field.
Can I grow a beard after the photo?
The notice warns that a change in appearance such as a beard or headgear may cancel your candidature for the online test and Phase II. Keep the same look.
When are IAF Agniveervayu registrations?
