Make your COMEDK photo, signature and parent signature in JPG under 80 KB, upright and ready to upload.
Last updated:
Tap a card to get that file ready
From the COMEDK UGET exam brochure and the 2026 upload instructions. Check comedk.org before you submit.
Each box makes a JPG under 80 KB, standing upright, which is what the COMEDK form means by "vertical position".
| File | Format | Max size | Rule |
|---|---|---|---|
| Photograph | JPEG only | 80 KB | Colour, light background, last 3 months |
| Your signature | JPEG only | 80 KB | Black or blue pen on white paper |
| Parent signature | JPEG (or PDF) | 80 KB to be safe | Signed by your parent or guardian |
| Your ID proof | JPEG or PDF | 160 KB | All pages in one file |
| Parent ID proof | JPEG or PDF | 160 KB | All pages in one file |
| 10th / SSLC marks card | JPEG or PDF | 160 KB | For date of birth |
From the COMEDK exam brochure and the 2026 instructions reported by CollegeDekho. COMEDK gives no pixel size, only format and KB.
This is the most common reason COMEDK uploads look wrong in the preview.
Always use the Preview button on the COMEDK form before you pay. That is where a sideways image shows up.
Background too dark or busy? The auto check warns you, and the Photo Background Changer makes it white.
COMEDK wants every page of an ID in a single file. Aadhaar has two sides, so this trips up many students.
Most Karnataka students fill both forms. The files are not the same.
| Upload | COMEDK UGET | KCET (KEA) |
|---|---|---|
| Photo | JPEG, under 80 KB | JPG, 10-40 KB in our tool |
| Signature | JPEG, under 80 KB | JPG, 5-40 KB in our tool |
| Parent signature | Yes, JPEG | Yes |
| Left thumb impression | No | Yes |
| ID proof upload | Yes, yours and parent's | No |
| Orientation rule | Vertical (upright) | Normal |
Doing KCET too? Use the KCET photo, signature and thumb tool. You can use the same original photo for both.
| Step | 2026 (last year) | 2027 (expected) |
|---|---|---|
| Registration opens | 3 Feb 2026 | Early February 2027 |
| Last date | 16 Mar 2026 | Mid to late March 2027 |

2026 dates from CollegeDekho. 2027 dates are expected, not official. COMEDK posts the brochure on comedk.org when registration opens.

| Problem | Fix |

| Photo or signature over 80 KB | Resize it in the tool above |

| Photo older than 3 months | Take a fresh one |
| ID proof split into two files | Scan both sides into one PDF |
| ID or marks card over 160 KB | Compress it under 100 KB |

A recent colour photo in JPEG format under 80 KB, with a light background, uploaded upright. COMEDK does not fix a pixel size.
JPEG under 80 KB, signed with a black or blue pen on white paper, uploaded upright.
Yes. Your parent or guardian signs on white paper. Keep it as a JPEG under 80 KB, which passes both limits given in the brochure.
The image must be the right way up. A photo lying on its side is wrong. Use Rotate in the tool until it stands straight.
160 KB, in JPEG or PDF, with all pages in one file. Scan both sides into one PDF under 100 KB to be safe.
Yes, the same original photo works. Just make each file in its own size: under 80 KB for COMEDK and 10-40 KB for KCET in our tools.
It is expected in early February 2027. In 2026 it ran from 3 February to 16 March.
Phones save some photos sideways with a rotation tag. The form ignores the tag. Rotate it here and download again.
No. Everything runs inside your browser. Nothing is uploaded or saved.
