Photo signature resizer & compress to 20 KB / 50 KB
This page is a free photo signature resizer built for Indian exam uploads. Use it to photo signature resize a studio shot or signature scan, then compress photo to 20kb or up to 50 KB so the official portal accepts Photograph.jpg. The same engine can power other exam presets (SSC, IBPS, and more) in later Toolsiftly pages — the TNPSC Group 4 numbers below are the first preset.
