Loading Sarkari Photo & Sign Pro…
3-step workflow · no sign-up

Prepare your photo and signature in three steps

From a phone photo to files that match the notice: no account, and nothing leaves your device.

  1. STEP 01

    Pick your exam or form

    Each preset shows the notice it comes from. Not listed? Use Custom size.

    Search by exam or body
  2. STEP 02

    Add photo and signature

    JPG, PNG or WebP up to 5 MB each. They are cropped and resized at once.

    Made on this device
  3. STEP 03

    Check and download

    Each file shows its pixels, KB and background check. Download one or both.

Guide

How to use this photo and signature tool

The tool crops from the centre, so start with a photo where your face is in the middle and a signature with little empty paper around it.

Updated for 2026: presets rebuilt from the current notices, with minimum KB and a custom size
  1. 1

    Read your notice

    Rules change between years and exams. Compare the preset with the notice you are applying under.

  2. 2

    Use a clean original

    A sharp photo on a plain light wall, and a signature in black ink on white paper.

  3. 3

    Watch the checks

    A red mark means the file misses the preset. Replace the image rather than uploading it.

  4. 4

    Keep the files

    Save the downloads. Many forms ask for the same photo and signature again later.

Guide

Getting a photo and signature accepted

Habits drawn from the rules the notices repeat.

Photo

Plain light background

IBPS asks for a light, preferably white, background; NTA asks for white.

  • Stand by a white wall
  • Even light, no shadow
  • Face the camera
Face

Fill the frame

NTA asks that about 80% of the photo is your face, with ears visible and no mask.

  • No cap or dark glasses
  • Ears visible
  • Recent photo
Signature

Black ink, white paper

IBPS, RRB and UPSC all ask for black ink on white paper.

  • Your usual signature
  • Not in capital letters (IBPS)
  • Three times for UPSC
Size

Respect both limits

Some notices set a minimum KB as well as a maximum. Too small can be rejected too.

  • Check min and max
  • Use a sharp original
  • Don't over-compress

Guide

Who uses this tool

The same studio, for different forms.

Central exam applicants

UPSC and SSC

UPSC wants an uploaded photo and three signatures; SSC takes the photo live and only needs the signature file.

Use: UPSC or SSC CGL 2026 preset

Bank and railway applicants

IBPS and RRB

IBPS fixes pixels for both files. RRB takes the photo live and wants a 30 to 49 KB signature.

Use: IBPS PO/MT or RRB preset

Entrance exam students

NEET, JEE, CUET

NTA forms take 10 to 200 KB photos with a white background and most of the frame filled by the face.

Use: NTA preset for your exam

PAN and passport forms

Identity documents

PAN scanned uploads need small files at 200 DPI. Passport forms at DPC, Speed Post or CSC need a printed photo.

Use: PAN or passport preset
How it works

What the tool does to your image

Straight from how the tool is built.

Crop and resize

A centre crop to the preset's shape, then a resize.

  • UPSC signatures keep their shape
  • Transparent areas become white
  • Saved as JPEG

Fit the KB range

Up to 11 JPEG qualities, best first.

  • Highest quality under the max
  • Enlarged x1.25 for a minimum KB
  • Only when the notice sets no pixels

Stays on your device

A canvas on this page does the work.

  • No upload to a server
  • No account
  • No watermark

The background check looks at the four corners of your image. It is a hint, not a guarantee: look at the preview yourself.

Guide

Keeping your files ready

Most applicants fill several forms a year.

  1. 1

    Keep the originals

    Store the full-size photo and signature scan. Make new copies for each form from those.

  2. 2

    Name by exam

    Downloads are named after the preset, like ibps-po-xv_photo, so you can tell them apart.

  3. 3

    Update the photo

    Notices ask for a recent photo. Take a new one when your look changes.

  4. 4

    Re-check each year

    Limits change between notices. Check the new notice even for an exam you applied to before.

Pro tips

Pro tips for a first-time accept

Small checks that avoid a rejected form.

Shoot in daylight

Face a window. Avoid overhead light that throws shadows under the eyes.

Centre your face

The crop keeps the centre. Leave space around your head in the original.

Fill the paper

Crop your signature scan close before upload, so it isn't tiny in the box.

Plain paper only

Ruled or coloured paper shows up as lines and fails the background check.

Below the minimum?

Use a sharper or bigger original. Fixed-pixel presets can't be enlarged.

Custom size

For any other notice, type its pixels and KB range into Custom size.

iPhone photos

HEIC photos may not open in your browser. Share or export the photo as JPG from your phone first.

Passport photos

Get them printed on photo paper. The booklet says computer prints are not accepted.

Pro tip: the notice always wins

Each preset quotes a notice we checked. If your notice says something else, follow your notice and use Custom size.

Which one

Live photo, or an uploaded photo?

Some applications now take your photo with the camera. Others still want a file.

SSC CGL 2026 · RRB CEN 03/2025
0photo files

Live capture only

The application opens your camera and takes the photo. You only upload the signature.

Use this tool for the signature

UPSC · IBPS · NTA
2photos: file and live

Upload and live

You upload a photo file and capture a live one in the form. Both should look like you today.

Use this tool for the photo and signature files

Verdict: read the notice's photo section first. If it says the photo is captured live, prepare only the signature.
