Crop and resize your signature for any government form

Most Indian government forms ask for a signature at exactly 3 × 1 cm or 6 × 2 cm at 200 DPI. Banks often want it at 50-80 KB max. Passport Seva insists on a transparent or pure-white background with strong contrast. Sign on plain white paper with a black gel pen, photograph it well-lit, drop the photo here, and we'll handle the rest: auto-cropping to remove white margins, boosting black-on-white contrast, removing background noise, and outputting either JPEG (with white fill) or PNG (with transparency). The transparent PNG is what you want for embedding into a digital form; the JPEG works for upload portals that reject PNG.

Quality tips: what your signature should look like to pass verification

Indian banks and government portals run light OCR comparison against your existing on-record signature, so make sure the digital version matches the natural style you sign with. Don't use a fancy script font — sign organically. Keep the stroke thickness consistent (use a gel pen rather than a ballpoint that thins out). Photograph from directly above (no angle) to avoid keystone distortion. Shoot in bright natural light with no shadow falling across the page. If your signature has a flourish at the end, make sure that's fully captured — many OCR systems weight the tail of the signature heavily for match scoring.

FAQ
  • Why does my signature look pixelated after upload?

    Your source photo is probably too small. Take the photo at the highest resolution your phone camera supports — at least 2000 pixels wide. We re-sample to the required size but don't invent detail that isn't there.

  • Can I sign on a tablet instead?

    Yes — any digital signature image works (Apple Pencil, Wacom, even your finger on a touchscreen).

  • How do I make the background fully transparent?

    Switch the output format to PNG and toggle 'Remove white background'.
