FAQ
What size should a signature image be for government forms?
Most Indian government forms require a signature of approximately 4.5 × 2.0 cm (354 × 157 pixels) in JPEG format, under 20 KB, with white background. Covers SSC, IBPS, Railway, and many other portals.
How to scan signature for online forms?
Sign with black ink on plain white paper. Take a clear photo with your phone in good lighting, avoiding shadows. Upload to SafeCopy and it will resize and compress to the exact specifications needed.
Why is my signature file too large for upload?
Phone cameras capture high-resolution images (several MB). Government portals need files under 20 KB. SafeCopy compresses your signature to the required size while maintaining clarity.
Should I use black or blue ink for signature scan?
Black ink is recommended as it provides the best contrast and scans most clearly. Dark blue ink also works well. Avoid pencil, light-coloured ink, or gel pens that may smudge.
