How to resize your CAT photo and signature
- Open the resizer above. CAT is already selected.
- Add your photo, then drag and zoom until your face sits in the middle of the frame.
- Sign on plain white paper, take a picture of it in daylight and add it. Keep "Clean the paper" and "Trim to the ink" on.
- Check the green ticks for pixels and KB, then download each file and upload it to the CAT portal.
Tips so your form is not rejected
- Sign with a black or blue pen on white paper.
- Use a recent photo with a plain, light background.
- Check the file opens clearly before you upload it; the same photo is used on your admit card.
