Open Signature ResizerStep-by-step application guide
- 1Click a fresh photograph against a plain white or off-white wall in natural daylight. Your face should occupy 60–70% of the frame. No caps, no tinted glasses, no beauty filters.
- 2Sign your name in black or blue ballpoint pen on plain white unruled paper. Photograph or scan the signature and crop tightly, leaving a small white margin around the mark.
- 3Use the Photo Resizer below to bring your photo to exactly 160×200 px within 5–20 KB in JPG format. Everything happens in your browser — no upload required.
- 4Use the Signature Resizer to bring your signature to 256×64 px within 5–20 KB. Download and save with a clear filename.
- 5On the Maharashtra Police application portal, upload each file to its designated field. Preview at 100% zoom before the final submit and download the acknowledgement PDF as proof of submission.
Common rejection reasons
Wrong file size
The portal may accept files outside the 5–20 KB window but the verification team will reject them later. Always hit the exact range.
Signature in capital letters
Most conducting bodies explicitly ban block-capital signatures. Sign in your normal running hand.
Coloured or busy background
Use a plain white or off-white background. Walls with curtains, shadows, or another person in frame are rejected.
Wrong field or format
Maharashtra Police requires JPG format only. Uploading the signature in the photo field (or vice versa) is a surprisingly common mistake.
