GATE photo and signature
Your GATE photo and signature at a pixel size and shape inside GATE 2027’s ranges.
Runs on your device. Your files are never stored.
Short answer
For GATE 2027, the photo must be a JPG from 200 × 260 to 530 × 690 pixels and 5–600 KB, on a white background with the face filling 60–70%, and the signature a JPG from 250 × 80 to 580 × 180 pixels and 3–300 KB, in black or dark blue ink. FileFleet crops both to those sizes and shapes, free and on your device.

GATE application uploads: the rules
GATE sets a pixel range rather than one size: FileFleet makes the photo 420 × 540 and the signature 480 × 150, inside both ranges and shapes.
| Upload | Format | Pixels | File size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Photograph | JPG | 200 × 260 to 530 × 690 | 5 KB to 600 KB |
| Signature | JPG | 250 × 80 to 580 × 180 | 3 KB to 300 KB |
What FileFleet can’t fix, so get it right when you take the photo
- Passport-size, 3.5 cm wide and 4.5 cm tall: width ÷ height between 0.66 and 0.89.
- White background with no other objects or people.
- Your face fills 60–70% of the photo.
- In black or dark blue ink only.
- Width 2.75 to 3.75 times the height, with the signature filling 70–80% of the image.

Common reasons it gets rejected
- A photo larger than 530 × 690 or smaller than 200 × 260 pixels.
- The wrong shape: a square photo, or a signature that isn’t about three times as wide as it is tall.
- A signature in a colour other than black or dark blue.
- Too much empty space: the face should fill 60–70% of the photo and the signature 70–80% of its image.
FileFleet fixes the type, pixel size and file size. Lighting, background and expression have to be right when you take the photo.
How to resize your GATE photo and signature

- 2Add both and check which is which.
- 3Download the JPGs and upload them to the GATE portal.
