Quick fact about SIGNATURE

20 KB is the standard signature size on exam portals (SSC, UPSC, IBPS) and government forms. The compressor iterates quality until the output is 20 KB or under.

Why compress SIGNATURE?

Many Indian exam portals (SSC, UPSC, IBPS, RRB) and government forms require signature images under 20 KB. Manually compressing a scanned signature to hit an exact size is tedious and error-prone. Our tool iterates quality until the output is 20 KB or under — no guesswork, no failed form submissions.

How the conversion works

Common problems and fixes

Signature looks faded after compression
Scan with higher contrast, or use black ink on white paper. Very faint signatures don't compress well.
Output is still slightly over 20 KB
Crop the signature image smaller first, or reduce dimensions.
Portal rejects the file
Check dimensions too — some portals require specific width/height ranges.
