How to Resize Signature for Online Forms?
Most online government forms (like SSC, UPSC, IBPS, PAN Card) require a digital signature that is very small in file size (usually between 10 KB and 20 KB). Reducing a phone camera photo (which is often 2MB) to 20KB without losing clarity is difficult without the right tool.
Common Signature Dimensions:
- IBPS / SBI Banks: 140 x 60 pixels. File Size: 10kb - 20kb.
- SSC Exams: 4.0 cm x 2.0 cm (approx 400x200 px). File Size: 10kb - 20kb.
- GATE Exam: 560 x 160 pixels (Rectangular box). File Size: 5kb - 200kb.
- PAN Card (UTIITSL): 2x1 inch ratio. High resolution 600 DPI required.
Tips for Best Results:
1. Pen & Paper: Sign clearly on a clean white paper using a black ink pen (Blue is sometimes rejected).
2. Lighting: Take the photo in bright daylight to avoid shadows on the paper.
3. Cropping: Use the "Zoom" slider in this tool to zoom into your signature and cut out the extra white paper borders.
