Official Photo & Signature Guidelines
Compare what your form demands with what this tool produces by default:
| Parameter | This tool (default preset) | Official requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Dimensions | 480 × 640 px | Exact pixel dimensions per notification — commonly 480 × 640 px |
| File size | Target 100 KB slider (adjustable) | Must stay inside the notification's KB window — most forms prefer 20–50 KB |
| Format | JPG / JPEG | JPG / JPEG only |
| Name & Date stamp | OFF — toggle anytime | Not required for this document type |
- Submit a recent, good-quality colour photograph against a plain, light background — the face should occupy most of the frame.
- GATE accepting centres specify the photograph in JPEG format; the pixel window in recent applications is roughly 480 × 640 px.
- Keep the file inside the bulletin's KB range — oversized files fail on upload, undersized files look blurry at verification.
- Sign in black ink on white paper; the signature must be inside the box and must not touch the edges.
- Wear plain clothes; avoid caps, sunglasses and reflections on spectacles.
- Always re-check the GATE organising institute's brochure PDF before uploading — specs shift year to year.

Frequently Asked Questions
What photo size does the GATE application portal accept?
Recent GATE brochures ask for a clear colour passport-style photograph in JPEG format, with the pixel window around 480 × 640 px and a modest file size range. Because the exact numbers shift every cycle, always confirm against the organising institute's bulletin before uploading.
Does my GATE photo need a name and date stamp?
No — GATE applications do not require the Name & DOP stamp. Keep the stamp option off in the tool; it is switched off by default on this page.
My GATE signature upload keeps failing. What is wrong?
Most failures are file size or format problems. Make sure you are uploading a JPEG inside the bulletin's KB range, scanned tightly around the signature, and use the custom dimensions if the portal asks for a different box size.
Can I use a photo taken years ago for GATE?
GATE wants a recent photograph that resembles you on exam day. Very old photos risk tag mismatched-face queries later. Take a fresh photo against a plain background, then run it through this tool.
Tip: if your form also requires a photo with name & date, use the SSC Photo Maker.
