GATE Photo & Signature Resizer
GATE, conducted by a different IIT/IISc each year, has photo and signature specifications that shift slightly across cycles more than most exams — recent brochures cite a photo between 5KB and 200KB (3.5×4.5cm) and a signature within a similarly wide range, often specified as fitting inside a physical 2cm×7cm box rather than a fixed pixel size. Because the organizing institute changes annually, always cross-check the current year's official brochure rather than relying on a previous cycle's figures — this is one of the exams where specs genuinely do move year to year.
| Item | Dimensions | File size |
|---|---|---|
| Photo | 350×450px | 5-200KB |
| Signature | 280×80px | 5-200KB |

Frequently asked questions
Why do GATE photo specs seem to change every year?
A different IIT or IISc organizes GATE each year, and each publishes its own brochure — always check the current year's official specifications rather than a previous cycle's.
What is the GATE photo size?
Typically 5KB to 200KB, 3.5×4.5cm, JPEG/JPG, white background — verify against your specific year's brochure.
What if my GATE application is marked "defective"?
You'll be notified via email/SMS and given a window to re-upload corrected photo/signature — it does not mean automatic rejection.
