Photo & Signature Joiner — Join Photo and Signature in One File
Some application portals give you one upload field for both your photograph and your signature, and reject anything else. This tool joins the two into a single JPG: your photo at the standard form size (200 × 230 px) and your signature in a strip below it — or side by side — fitted under the KB cap your portal sets. Free, no sign-up, and both files stay on your device.
1 — Your photograph
Drag & drop your photograph here
or click to choose a file — JPG, PNG or WebP
The frame is locked to 200 × 230 px — the standard form photograph size.
2 — Your signature
Drag & drop your signature image here
or click to choose a file — a photo or scan of your signature on white paper
Frame your signature inside the strip — it is placed at 200 px wide in the joined file.
🔒 Your files never leave your device.
✅ Your joined file is ready
When you need one combined file
Most large national portals — SSC, IBPS, UPSC, FPSC, PPSC — take your photograph and signature as two separate uploads, each with its own size rules; the Photo & Signature Resizer makes those exactly. But a long tail of state-level, university, board and departmental portals still use a single upload field, with instructions like “upload a combined file of photograph and signature, maximum 50 KB.” Candidates then get stuck stitching images together in paint software. This joiner does it properly in the browser: correct photograph size, a clean signature strip, and a guaranteed KB cap.
How to use
- Add your photograph in step 1 and position the crop frame on your face and shoulders. The frame is locked to the standard 200 × 230 px form size.
- Add your signature in step 2 — a photo or scan of your signature on white paper — and frame it in the strip.
- Choose the layout and KB cap from your portal's instructions (stacked is the usual default; 50 KB is the most common cap), press Join photo & signature, and download the single combined JPG.
Before you submit — check your portal's exact rule
There is no single national specification for a combined photo-and-signature file: each portal sets its own pixel size and KB cap, and some specify the layout too. This tool is built from the standard components (200 × 230 px photograph, 200 px-wide signature strip) that most combined-file instructions are based on, and it guarantees the KB cap you choose — but two minutes spent re-reading your notification's upload paragraph is what keeps an application safe. If your portal actually wants two separate files, use the Photo & Signature Resizer, and if the signature alone needs an exact size, the Signature Resizer.
Tips for a clean joined file
- Sign in dark ink on plain white paper and photograph it straight from above in bright, even light — grey, shadowed paper is the main reason joined files look unprofessional.
- Crop the signature tightly. A strip full of empty paper makes the actual signature tiny in the final file.
- Use a recent photograph that matches your other documents — the same one you would upload as a separate file.
- Keep the original files. If the portal rejects the combined file, you can remake it here in seconds with a different cap or layout.
Frequently asked questions
Why do some portals ask for photo and signature in one file?
Some application systems were built with a single upload field for both images, so their instructions ask you to combine your photograph and signature into one JPG before uploading. It is common on older state-level, university and departmental portals. National portals like SSC and IBPS usually take the photo and signature as two separate files — for those, use the Photo & Signature Resizer instead, which makes each file to its exact specification.
What size is the joined file?
There is no single national specification for a combined file — every portal sets its own. This tool builds it from the standard components most portals are based on: the photograph at 200 × 230 pixels and the signature in a 200-pixel-wide strip, giving 200 × 297 pixels stacked or 400 × 230 pixels side by side, fitted under the KB cap you select. Always check your portal's notification or upload instructions for its exact requirement before submitting.
Which KB cap should I choose?
Whichever your portal states. 50 KB is the most common cap for a combined file, with 100 KB and 200 KB also seen. If the portal gives a different maximum, choose Custom and type it in. The tool guarantees the result is at or under the cap you set.
Stacked or side by side — which layout is right?
Follow your portal's sample or instructions if it shows one. Stacked — photograph on top, signature below — is the layout most combined-file instructions describe. Side by side appears on some forms whose printed layout places the signature box next to the photo box. If the portal says nothing, stacked is the safer default.
How do I get a clean signature image to join?
Sign with a dark pen on plain white paper, photograph it straight from above in good light, and crop tightly around the signature in step 2. The tool keeps your signature exactly as photographed — it does not remove the paper background — so a clean white sheet in even light gives the most professional result.
Are my photo and signature uploaded to your server?
No. The joining happens inside your browser on your own device. Your files are never sent anywhere, never stored and never seen by anyone — which matters, because a signature is a sensitive document.
