GATE 2026 photo & signature rules
Beyond the size, the GATE 2026 portal expects the photograph to follow these rules. Check each one before you upload.
- Use a recent photograph — typically one taken within the last 3–6 months.
- Face the camera directly, with a full front view of your face.
- Do not wear a cap or hat; your head must be uncovered. Religious head coverings that do not hide the face are usually allowed.
- Your full face must be clearly visible.
- Use a plain, uncluttered background.
Signature
- Sign in black ink.
- Sign on plain white paper.
Common reasons GATE 2026 photos get rejected
Most rejections come down to a handful of avoidable mistakes:
- The photo is not exactly 240×320 px. Portals validate the dimensions and reject images that are even slightly off.
- The file size is outside the 5–200 KB range — the image is either too large or compressed too far.
- The background is not white, or it is patterned or shadowed.
- The photo is not saved as a JPEG file.
- The photograph is old — an outdated photo can be rejected.
- A cap, hat or head covering hides part of the face.
- The face is blurred, over-exposed, tilted, or not centred and clearly visible.
- The signature is not within 140×60 px / 5–100 KB, is signed in capitals, or is not in dark ink on white paper.

GATE 2026 photo — frequently asked questions
What is the GATE photo size?
A recent passport-style colour photo, roughly 3.5 x 4.5 cm (~240x320 px), JPG, in the low-hundreds of KB, on a plain white background. Verify the exact band against the official GATE information brochure.
What is the GATE signature size?
A signature in black ink on white paper, scanned to JPG, typically a few KB up to about 100 KB. Confirm against the GATE brochure for your cycle.
How do I resize my GATE 2026 photo to 5–200 KB?
Upload your photo to the free tool on this page. It crops the image to 240×320 px and compresses it into the 5–200 KB range the GATE 2026 portal accepts, then lets you download a ready-to-upload JPEG file. Everything happens in your browser — the photo is never uploaded to a server.
What background should the GATE 2026 photo have?
A white background. Avoid patterns, shadows, and objects behind you; a plain wall in even lighting works best.
Which file format does GATE 2026 accept for the photo?
JPEG. Save or export your photograph as a JPEG file before uploading it.
Can I prepare my GATE 2026 photo on a mobile phone?
Yes. The tool runs in your phone's browser — there is no app to install, and your photo never leaves the device. You can crop and compress it to the required 240×320 px, 5–200 KB right after taking it.
