Pro Tip: Ensure your signature is written in dark black or blue ink on clean unruled white paper.

Pick Your Exam Preset from the Dropdown

In the Dimension Presets selector, choose your specific portal (e.g. 'SBI / IBPS Photo: 200×230 px' or 'UPSC / SSC Signature: 140×60 px'). The exact width and height will lock into place automatically.

Pro Tip: You can also switch to 'Custom Pixels' or 'Percentage' mode if your exam has unique requirements.

Adjust Quality & Compression

Use the Quality slider to ensure the resulting file size sits comfortably inside the portal's acceptable range (typically 20 KB to 50 KB for photos, 10 KB to 20 KB for signatures).

Pro Tip: The live preview displays your exact output file dimensions and estimated KB size.

Download the Form-Ready Image

Click 'Save File' to download your photo. It is now guaranteed to pass the automated portal validator on the first upload.

Pro Tip: Rename the file to 'passport_photo' or 'signature' without special characters for maximum portal compatibility.
