How to Upload a Face Photo and Signature Scan

The tool prepares two files: a face photo and a signature. You upload each one separately, and the crop preview appears as soon as you choose a file.

  1. Prepare a face photo — ideally sharp, evenly lit, without blur or harsh shadows, with your full face visible.
  2. Upload that file in the field for the face photo.
  3. Prepare a scan or photo of your signature: sign on a clean sheet of paper, place it straight, and avoid creases through the signature line.
  4. Upload the signature file in the second field.
  5. After you choose both files, you will see two crop previews: one for the photo and one for the signature.

The files stay on your device — processing happens locally in your browser, and nothing is sent elsewhere.

Cropping and Zooming in the Preview Windows

Each preview shows the area that will go into the output file. That area's aspect ratio, or the ratio of width to height, comes directly from the pixel dimensions set for the photo and signature. When you change the dimensions, the crop recalculates immediately.

You control the crop content with two zoom sliders: one for the photo and one for the signature. The range is 1 to 4, and the smallest slider step is 0.02. A value of 1 means no zoom, and the higher you move the slider, the more the image is enlarged inside the crop.

  • For the face photo, make sure the entire head is in the crop and the face is centered.
  • For the signature, make sure the full signature line fits in the crop, from start to finish.
  • If something falls outside the crop, reduce the zoom and try again.

You see the previews in real time, so you can comfortably compare several settings before you prepare the files.

Setting Dimensions in px and KB Limits

Form requirements usually come down to two things: the image dimensions in pixels and the allowed file size in kilobytes. In this tool, you set both separately for the photo and separately for the signature.

What you setFor the face photoFor the signature
Width and heightin pixelsin pixels
Allowed file sizemin–max, in KBmin–max, in KB
Crop zoomslider from 1 to 4slider from 1 to 4

The minimum image dimension is 20 pixels — you cannot set smaller values. Starting values for forms in the 'other' category are already entered, but treat them only as a starting point and replace them with those from the current notice.

When the settings are ready, click 'Prepare files'. The photo will be scaled to the dimensions you set, and the file size will be chosen within the range you enter — the same applies to the signature.

Tool Limitations — What It Won't Do

The tool prepares files exactly according to the values you enter. It does not know what a specific application requires, and it does not check whether your settings match those requirements — that part is up to you.

  • Quality depends on the source files. A blurry, overly dark photo or a crookedly photographed signature will not become sharper after scaling.
  • The minimum dimension is 20 pixels, and the crop zoom ranges from 1 to 4.
  • No comparison with a specific application. The tool does not compare the result with exam rules or form instructions, and it does not confirm that the files will be accepted.
  • It does not fill out the form or send files. You add the finished files to the application yourself.
  • It does not read the content of the photo or signature or recognize what is in them.
  • Everything runs locally in your browser — processing does not require uploading files to a server.

Requirements can vary from one application to another and change over time, so before submitting, always compare the result with the current notice.

How to Check the Finished Files Before Submitting

After you click 'Prepare files,' you have two files to check. A few minutes of attention can help you avoid a situation where the form rejects the photo or signature because of its dimensions or size.

  1. Check the dimensions of both files in pixels and compare them with the requirements in the notice.
  2. Check each file's size and make sure it falls within the required min–max range.
  3. Open the photo and signature and review them visually: is the face complete, does the signature fit fully, and is the image neither blurry nor too dark?
  4. Look at the crop and background — is anything cut off at the edges?
  5. If the form lets you upload a preview before submitting, use that option.
  6. If something does not match, go back to the settings, adjust the dimensions, size range, or zoom, and prepare the files again.

Only after this check should you add the files to the form and submit your application.

Frequently Asked Questions

What dimensions should I enter for the photo and signature in an online form?

Use the dimensions stated in the notice for the application you are completing. The tool does not know those requirements — you enter them yourself in the dimension fields for the photo and signature. If you do not have exact values yet, treat the starting settings as a point of departure and replace them with the data from the document.

How do I reduce a photo file size to the required KB?

Enter the allowed size range in kilobytes for the photo, and set its pixel dimensions next to it. After you prepare the files, the photo will be saved at the dimensions you specified, and the file size will be chosen within the range you set. If the result still does not fit, check whether you copied the values from the notice correctly.

Does the signature have to be a scan, or is a phone photo enough?

You can upload either a scan or a photo of your signature, because the tool accepts image files. Quality matters: a straight photo of a signature on clean paper gives a better result than a crooked photo with a shadow. Check the form's requirements to see whether it allows a photo instead of a scan.

Are my photo and signature sent anywhere?

No — processing happens locally in your browser, and the files are not uploaded to any server. They stay on your device. You send the finished files only when you add them to the form yourself.

Will the tool check whether the files meet exam requirements?

No. It prepares files according to the settings you enter and does not compare them with exam rules or the notice. You evaluate compliance with a specific application's requirements yourself, preferably using the current document.

Where should I start if I do not know the required dimensions or KB limit?

Look at the notice or form instructions — there you will find the dimensions in pixels and the allowed file size in KB. You enter these values in the tool separately for the photo and separately for the signature. The starting settings for 'other' forms are only an example point of departure, and you can change them freely.

The dimensions and KB limits shown are only starting values — before submitting, compare them with the current notice or form instructions.
