GATE Photo & Signature Resizer

GATE works differently from most Indian exams: instead of one exact size, the GOAPS portal accepts a range of pixel sizes and rejects anything outside it. For the 2027 cycle the photo must be between 200 × 260 and 530 × 690 pixels and the signature between 250 × 80 and 580 × 180 pixels. This page sets sizes safely inside both ranges.

How to Resize Your Photo and Signature for GATE

1. Choose your photo – a recent passport-style colour photo.
2. Photo 450 × 580 px is selected, inside the allowed range and under 200 KB.
3. For the signature, choose your scan and select Signature 540 × 180 px.
4. Resize, download and upload both on GOAPS.

GATE Photo Rules

• Pixels: at least 200 × 260, at most 530 × 690 – the shape of a 3.5 × 4.5 cm passport photo.
• File size: 5–600 KB, JPG/JPEG.
• Face: should cover about 60–70% of the photo, looking at the camera, with a light background.
• No caps, dark glasses or filters – crop to head and shoulders with Crop Image first.

GATE Signature Rules

• Pixels: at least 250 × 80, at most 580 × 180 – roughly three times as wide as it is tall.
• File size: 3–300 KB, JPG/JPEG.
• Ink: black or dark blue on white paper. Crop tightly so the signature fills the frame.

GATE is organised by a different IIT each year, and the limits can change. The official "Photograph and Signature" page of your GATE year has the final numbers.

Why Your Photo Was Rejected

The most common GOAPS errors are a photo larger than 530 × 690 pixels (a phone photo is 3000 × 4000) or a signature with the wrong shape. Both are fixed by the presets on this page. If your photo was flagged as unclear, take a fresh one in daylight against a plain wall – or replace the background with White Background Passport Photo.
