Photo & Signature Resizer

Exam and job forms want your photo or signature at an exact pixel size and an exact size in KB — and reject it without telling you why when it does not fit. Choose the photo, pick a preset or type the size your form asks for, and download a JPG that fits. Everything happens on your device; your photo is never uploaded.

Presets are the sizes exam boards commonly publish. Forms do change their rules — if your notice gives different numbers, type them below; your numbers win.

Background colour

Only shows where your image has empty or transparent edges — most forms ask for a plain white background.

2 · Your resized image

Your resized image will appear here. Check that the face (or signature) is clear and fully inside the frame before you download it.

The download is created on your device. Nothing was uploaded, so there is nothing for us to keep, lose or leak.

Please note: presets use the sizes exam boards commonly publish, but boards change them between notifications. Always match the width, height and KB in your own form's official notice — the figures you type here are the ones this tool follows exactly.

How this tool works

A phone photo is far bigger than any form wants — often 3000 × 4000 pixels and several MB. This tool does two things to it. First, it centre-crops the photo to the shape your form asks for and scales it to the exact pixel dimensions, so nothing is stretched or squeezed. Second, it saves the result as a JPEG and adjusts the quality until the file lands under your KB limit — as clear as possible, but never over the size the form allows. If an image genuinely cannot fit (a very detailed photo squeezed into a tiny KB limit), the tool tells you plainly instead of quietly giving you the wrong size.

How to use it

Choose Photo or Signature, then pick your image. On a phone, your gallery or camera will open.
Pick the preset for your form (SSC, bank exams, passport size) — or choose Custom and type the exact pixels and KB from your form's notice.
Press Resize image. The preview shows exactly what will be uploaded to your form: check the face or signature is complete, straight and clear.
Press Download JPG and attach that file in your form. Keep the original photo safe — this resized copy is only for the form.

A worked example

Say you are filling an SSC form and your phone photo is 3000 × 4000 pixels, about 3 MB. The form wants a photo of 3.5 × 4.5 cm between 20 and 50 KB. Choose the SSC exam photo preset: the tool crops the photo to 413 × 531 pixels and compresses it until it is under 50 KB — with a typical photo it lands somewhere around 30–45 KB, inside the allowed range, ready to upload. A busy background or a very detailed photo lands nearer the top of the range; the tool always shows you the final, exact KB before you download.

Tips for a signature that passes

Sign large and bold with a dark blue or black pen on plain white paper — a small, faint signature shrinks into a grey smudge.
Photograph it straight from above in daylight, with no shadow of your hand or phone across the paper.
Use the signature preset and check the preview: the whole signature should sit inside the frame with a small white margin around it.
Never sign on ruled or printed paper — lines behind the signature are a common reason for rejection.

Why forms reject photos

Rejection is rarely about how you look. It is about numbers: the pixels, the KB, or the file format do not match the notice, so the form's software refuses the file — often without saying which number was wrong. Match all three with this tool and keep your form's notice open beside you while you fill it, and the photo step stops being the stressful part of the application.

Frequently asked questions

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. The resizing happens entirely in your web browser, on your own phone or computer. Your photo never travels to us or to any server — we could not see it even if we wanted to. You can check this yourself: once the page has loaded, the tool even works with your internet switched off.

Why do exam forms reject photos?

Almost always for one of four reasons: the pixel dimensions are wrong (for example 1000 × 1000 when the form wants 200 × 230), the file size is outside the allowed KB range, the file is a PNG or another format when the form wants JPG, or the photo is blurry or too dark. This tool fixes the first three: exact pixels, a size inside the KB range, and always a JPG.

What size photo do SSC and bank exam forms need?

The commonly published sizes are: SSC — photo 3.5 × 4.5 cm, 20 to 50 KB, and signature 10 to 20 KB; IBPS and SBI bank exams — photo 200 × 230 pixels, 20 to 50 KB, and signature 140 × 60 pixels, 10 to 20 KB. Exam boards do change these numbers between notifications, so always match the figures in your own form's official notice. Every preset in this tool can be edited.

How do I get a clear signature under 20 KB?

Sign once, large and bold, with a dark blue or black pen on plain white paper. Photograph it straight from above in good light, with no shadow across the paper. Then use the signature preset here — the tool crops tightly to the signature area and compresses it into the KB range. A signature that is faint or photographed at an angle is the usual reason forms reject it.

My form's size is not in the presets. What should I do?

Choose the Custom preset and type the exact width, height and maximum KB from your form's instructions. The tool works for any size — government job forms, college admissions, visa photos and ID cards included — as long as the output is a JPG photograph or signature.
