The object of the present invention is to provide a support for image-recording material that is recordable on both surfaces with less show-through, has an excellent adhesion resistance and texture, and can record high gloss, high quality images. Accordingly, provided is a support for an image-recording material which has a paper and one polymer-coated layer on both surfaces of the paper, wherein polymer-coated layers on both surfaces of the paper comprise titanium dioxide, and each outermost surface of polymer-coated layers on both surfaces of the paper is a roughened surface.
