Photo and signature for a driving licence application
Applications for a learner licence or driving licence on the Parivahan Sarathi portal ask you to upload a photograph and a signature as scanned images. The portal checks the file format and size, and an oversized or wrongly shaped image stops the application from going through. This tool crops your photo to the required dimensions and compresses it in one pass, and does the same for the signature.
The sizes Sarathi usually asks for
The Sarathi portal commonly accepts a recent colour photograph and a signature in JPEG, each within a small KB limit - the photo often up to around 40 KB and the signature around 20 KB, though the exact figures depend on your state's transport portal. Some states capture the photo and signature at the RTO instead of asking for an upload. The 200x230 photo and 140x60 signature shown here are typical values - check the instructions on your state's portal.
