Tips so your photo isn’t rejected

How to resize a photo or signature for an online form

  1. Pick your form from the list. The required size in pixels/cm and KB is filled in automatically. If your form isn’t listed, choose Custom size and type the numbers from the notification.
  2. Upload your photo or scanned signature. A phone camera photo works fine.
  3. Drag and zoom so your face (or signature) sits nicely in the frame.
  4. Download. The tool compresses the image so it lands inside the allowed KB range, and sets the correct DPI.
