Resize Signature to 100KB

This is the largest signature band on this site, and it exists for a specific reason: a few exam bodies don't ask for a single isolated signature at all. UPSC, for example, has asked candidates in some of its exams to sign three times inside marked boxes on a single sheet and upload that whole sheet as one image — a scan with three signatures naturally needs more file size than one signature does, which is why a form using this format is more likely to allow a larger ceiling, up to around 100KB. This tool compresses your signature image (single or combined) to land inside a 50-100KB window.

Why UPSC (and some other forms) want three signatures on one scan

Verification flag: the requirement for three signatures, the exact box layout, and which specific UPSC examinations it applies to have varied across UPSC's own notifications over time, and we have not independently verified a single figure that holds for every UPSC exam and cycle — always check your specific UPSC notification's signature-upload instructions directly. Where this format is required, the underlying logic is usually to give the exam body multiple genuine signature samples to cross-check for consistency, since a single signature sample offers less to compare against.

Step-by-step: scanning a combined multi-signature sheet

1. Find or draw the marked boxes your notification specifies (if it provides a template, print and use that; otherwise draw evenly spaced boxes on plain white paper).
2. Sign in each box in black or dark blue ink, keeping your signature style consistent across all three.
3. Photograph or scan the entire sheet in good, even light with no shadow.
4. Crop to just the area containing the signature boxes, trimming excess blank paper from the edges.
5. Upload the cropped image here, confirm the min/max KB and width/height fields against your exam's stated combined-image requirement, and compress.

Common rejection reasons

• Inconsistent signatures within a combined scan: if three signatures are required, noticeably different-looking signatures across the three boxes can raise a flag at verification — sign consistently.
• Signature mismatch against your ID: whichever format is required, your signature should still match how you sign your identity documents.
• Block/capital letters where cursive is required: check your specific notification, since some forms explicitly require cursive signatures.

FAQ

How do I know if my exam wants one signature or three? This is stated explicitly in the exam's official notification, usually in the document specifications or "how to apply" section — it is not something you can assume from the exam name alone, since it varies even between different UPSC exams.

Can I sign the three boxes on different pieces of paper and combine them digitally? Most notifications expect one physical sheet signed and scanned as a single image, not a digital composite — check your specific notification's wording before combining separately signed images.

Do I still need a scanner for this, or does a phone photo work? A phone photo works fine, as long as the whole sheet is captured straight-on, in good even light, and then cropped to the relevant area before uploading.

Is my signature scan uploaded anywhere? No — all processing happens locally in your browser; the file is never sent to a server.
