Photo and Signature Resizer for Exam Forms

Every preset is copied from the exam body's own document, not from coaching sites or other resizers, which often disagree with each other. IBPS and bank forms follow IBPS's "Guidelines for scanning and Upload of Documents" in the CRP PO/MT-XV notice: photograph 200 × 230 pixels and 20 to 50 KB, signature 140 × 60 pixels and 10 to 20 KB, left thumb impression 240 × 240 pixels at 200 DPI and 20 to 50 KB, and the hand-written declaration 800 × 400 pixels at 200 DPI and 50 to 100 KB. Some bank notices allow a signature up to 50 KB; a 10 to 20 KB file passes both.

UPSC's One Time Registration FAQ asks for JPG files between 20 and 300 KB, at least 350 × 350 pixels and at most 1000 × 1000. The photograph preset makes 350 × 450, the 3.5 by 4.5 passport shape, and the signature preset centres your signature on a 700 × 350 white canvas so neither side is under 350. SSC's 2026 notices ask for a signature of 10 to 20 KB at about 6.0 × 2.0 cm; at 200 DPI that is 472 × 157 pixels, and the tool writes 200 DPI into the file so it measures 6.0 × 2.0 cm. SSC takes the photograph live inside the form, so there is no SSC photo file to prepare.

The numbers were read on 15 November 2026, and recruitment notices change between cycles. The preset card shows its source; compare it with the notice you are applying under, and use Custom when your form asks for something else.

Photographs are cropped to the exact shape and then scaled, so nothing is stretched; choose whether to keep the top, centre or bottom of the picture. Signatures, thumb impressions and declarations are never cropped: the whole image is fitted inside the box on a white background with a small margin, because a cut-off signature is a rejected signature.

The JPG is then encoded at the highest quality that stays under the maximum, found by halving the gap between a quality that fits and one that does not, up to nine times. Portals disagree on whether a kilobyte is 1,000 or 1,024 bytes, so the tool reads both limits the strict way: a 20 KB maximum means at most 20,000 bytes, and a 10 KB minimum means at least 10,240 bytes. The result screen shows the exact byte count.

A clean signature at 140 × 60 pixels is often only a few kilobytes even at full quality, which is below the 10 KB some forms require. In that case the tool adds blank comment data inside the JPG until it passes the minimum, and says how much it added. JPG files are allowed to carry comments, every viewer and portal skips them, and the pixels are exactly what you see in the preview.

Sign on plain white paper with a black pen (blue is fine where the notice allows it), in your normal running hand: several notices reject signatures written in capital letters. Photograph it in daylight, straight on, with the signature filling most of the frame. With Make the paper white switched on, the tool lifts the grey of the paper to white while keeping the ink's colour, which removes most phone shadows.

Everything happens in your browser: the photo is decoded, cropped, cleaned and encoded on your device, and on this site it is not uploaded anywhere. That matters for identity photos and signatures, which are exactly the files you should not hand to an unknown server.

The tool cannot make a photo acceptable if the rules reject its content. Glare on glasses, a dark or patterned background, a cap, or a photo older than the notice allows will still be rejected however well it is sized. Check the preview against the notice's dos and don'ts before you upload.
