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.
Technical details

| Output format | JPG |
| Target size | 20 KB or under |
| Iteration | Quality auto-tuned until target met |

| Max file size | 50 MB per file |
| File retention | Auto-deleted after compression |
How the conversion works
The compressor decodes the signature image (JPG, PNG, or scanned), converts to JPG if needed, and iterates quality until the output is 20 KB or under. Signature detail is preserved at readable levels.
When to compress SIGNATURE
- Exam form signature upload (20 KB limit).
- Government application signature upload.
- ID verification signature.
- Job application signature upload.
- Bank account opening forms.
- Passport application signature.
- Any portal with a 20 KB signature limit.
Quality considerations
20 KB is enough for a clear, readable signature. Expect 200-400px wide with quality 40-60%. Signature strokes are preserved at legible levels. Perfect for form uploads.
Limitations and caveats
- 20 KB is tight — only suitable for simple signatures.
- Very detailed signatures may show softening.
- Transparency is lost (JPG output).
- Not suitable for print or high-resolution use.
- For higher quality, use a larger target size.
Compatibility
- Output JPG opens on every device and platform.
- Accepted by SSC, UPSC, IBPS, RRB, and most exam portals.
- Accepted by government application systems.
- Standard JPG — no special software needed.
- Works with every upload form.
Tips for best results
- Scan the signature on white paper for best results.
- Crop tightly around the signature before uploading.
- Black ink on white paper compresses best.
- For higher quality, use a larger target size.
- Batch-compress up to 50 MB at once.

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.
