Resize a signature for an exam form

A signature has its own rules, separate from the photograph, and they trip people up because the shape is different: wide and short rather than portrait. Scans also start large because they are mostly white.

Starting the converter…

Most exam portals ask for 10–50 KB at about 6 × 2 cm. Always check the current notice on the official portal.

How it works

  1. Add your scanned or photographed signature.
  2. The target is preset for exam portals.
  3. Press the button to compress, then save it and upload it in the signature field, not the photo field.

Questions

What size should a signature be?

Commonly 10–50 KB at roughly 6 × 2 cm, though it varies by exam. It is almost always a different limit from the photograph on the same form.

My signature is faint after resizing. What now?

Sign again with a darker pen on plain white paper and scan or photograph it in good light. Compression cannot recover strokes that were faint to begin with.
