What is the signature size for GATE (Engineering)?

How do I resize my photo to 5–600 KB for GATE (Engineering)?
Upload your photo and the tool compresses it under the GATE (Engineering) limit while keeping the correct dimensions. Everything runs in your browser.
Why do GATE (Engineering) photos and signatures get rejected?
The most common reasons are the wrong file size (outside the 5–600 KB photo / 3–300 KB signature range), wrong pixel dimensions, a non-JPG file, a busy or coloured background, or a blurry, low-resolution scan. Signatures are also rejected when they are faint, sit on a grey or coloured background, or show the paper edge. This tool fixes the size, dimensions and format automatically — just start from a clear, well-lit photo on a plain background.
Is this GATE (Engineering) resizer free and private?
Yes — free, no watermark, no sign-up, and your photo never leaves your device. All processing happens in your browser.
Where can I confirm the official GATE (Engineering) requirements?
Always verify the current limits on the official source (GATE 2026 (IIT Guwahati)) before submitting, as requirements can change between notification cycles.
