About Signature Resizer:

The Signature Resizer by PixiGenie resizes your signature to the exact pixel dimensions and file size that online application forms demand. Upload a photo or scan of your signature, pick a preset or type your own width, height and maximum KB, and the tool produces a clean JPG that fits the limit. It is completely free, needs no account and no credits, and every signature is processed inside your own browser, so your signature is never uploaded to any server.

Why do forms reject signatures?

Most online application portals accept a signature only if it matches three things at once: the pixel dimensions, the file size in KB and the file format. A photo taken on a phone is usually several thousand pixels wide and two or three megabytes, which is hundreds of times larger than the limit, so the upload fails. Simply resizing the dimensions is often not enough either, because the file can still be over the KB limit. This tool handles both at the same time. It scales your signature to the required dimensions, then finds the best possible JPEG quality that still fits under your maximum file size, so the result satisfies the form on the first attempt.

Benefits of using Signature Resizer

The Signature Resizer takes the guesswork out of preparing form documents. Here are some of its benefits:

• Exact file size: Set a maximum in KB and the tool finds the best quality that fits under it.
• Exact dimensions: Set the width and height in pixels that your form asks for.
• Ready made presets: One click for the most common bank, exam and government form requirements.
• Background cleanup: Turns grey paper white and darkens faint ink, so a phone photo looks like a proper scan.
• Completely private: Everything runs in your browser. Your signature is never uploaded anywhere.
• Free forever: No account, no credits and no watermark.
• No distortion: Your signature is fitted inside the box and never stretched out of shape.

How to resize your signature

Getting a form ready signature takes only a few seconds:

• Upload your signature: Drag and drop a photo or scan of your signature on white paper.
• Pick a size: Choose a preset, or type the exact width, height and maximum KB your form requires.
• Resize: Click the Resize Signature button and check the reported dimensions and file size.
• Download: Save the JPG and upload it straight to your form.

Tips for a clean signature image

• Use a dark pen on white paper: Black or dark blue ink on plain unlined white paper reproduces best.
• Shoot straight down: Hold the camera parallel to the paper so the signature is not skewed.
• Avoid shadows: Bright, even daylight beats a flash, which tends to leave a bright spot and a hard shadow.
• Crop close before uploading: The less blank paper around the signature, the larger and clearer it appears in the final box.
• Check your form first: Requirements differ between portals, so confirm the width, height and KB limit before you start.
