Photo & Signature Resizer for Exam Forms

About the Photo & Signature Resizer for Exam Forms

Get your photo, signature, thumb impression and handwritten declaration ready for an online application in one go. Choose the exam — IBPS (PO, Clerk, SO, RRB), SBI (PO, Junior Associates), UPSC, SSC, RRB, NTA (NEET, JEE Main, CUET), GATE, the PAN card paper form or Kerala PSC — and the tool sets the pixel size (or centimetres at the right DPI), the minimum and maximum file size in KB and the JPG format. Crop, and the file is compressed into the allowed range automatically.

Signatures and impressions photographed on paper are cleaned up: the paper turns white, the ink dark, shadows disappear, and the frame can snap to the ink. Photos can carry your name and the date at the bottom where an exam asks for it. Every preset shows the rules as the official notification states them, links that notification — and every number can be changed, because the rules change from one recruitment to the next. Nothing is uploaded.

Minimum file sizes, KB and padding

Portals check the file size in KB, but some count 1 KB as 1,000 bytes and others as 1,024. The tool aims for a size that passes either way — at least the minimum × 1,024 bytes and at most the maximum × 1,000 bytes.

A small, clean image such as a 140 × 60 px signature is often only 5–8 KB even at the best JPG quality. Where the rule allows a larger pixel size, the tool adds pixels instead; where the size is fixed, it pads the file with an invisible JPG comment so it reaches the minimum. The picture itself is unchanged, and the result list says how much was added. Untick Pad to the minimum file size to switch this off.

Photos taken live in the form

SSC and RRB do not take an uploaded photo: the application form opens your camera and captures a live photo. IBPS, SBI, UPSC and NTA take both an uploaded photo and a live photo; for NEET the live photo is matched with your Aadhaar photo. For a live photo, sit in front of a plain light wall with light on your face, keep the camera at eye level, take off a cap, mask or glasses, and never hold up an old photo to the camera — such applications are rejected.

A signature that passes

• Sign on plain white paper with a black pen (GATE also allows dark blue), the way you will sign at the exam. Not in capital letters, not initials.
• Photograph it flat, in daylight, with no shadow of your phone; or scan it at 200 DPI or more.
• Use Crop to the ink and keep a little white space around it. Make the paper white and the ink dark fixes grey paper and uneven light.
• Your signature at the exam is compared with the uploaded one: do not use a different style.

Limitations

• Rules change with every recruitment cycle: always check the notification for your exam. You can edit every number.
• Only the exam body decides whether it accepts a photo or signature; this tool sizes and checks the file but cannot guarantee acceptance.
• State PSC rules differ widely; only Kerala PSC is built in — use “Custom size” with the numbers from your notification for others.
• The tool does not change your face or background; take the photo against a plain light wall.
• The clean-up works best on dark ink on plain paper; coloured or lined paper may need a manual crop.

Privacy

Your photos, signatures and impressions stay in your browser; nothing is uploaded or stored. Only your exam choice and the name for the photo strip are remembered on this device.
