Yes, completely. Every tool on this site is free, with no signup, no account and no limit on how many times you use it. You can try the resizer right now without giving us anything.

No. Everything runs inside your own browser using your device processing. Your photo, signature and documents never reach our servers and we never see them. Our privacy policy explains exactly what we do and do not collect.

A printed photo is measured in centimetres and a digital file in pixels. The two are linked by DPI, dots per inch. At the standard 300 DPI, a 6 by 2 cm signature works out to about 709 by 236 pixels. We explain this fully in KB, MB, pixels and DPI.

Keep your image at its own size and only bring the file size into range. Our tool does exactly that when no dimensions are set, so you do not accidentally distort your photo.

A file compressed too hard loses the detail needed to verify your face, so many portals reject anything under the minimum. If your result comes out too small, the usual cause is a low quality original rather than the tool.

Yes. The tools are built for phones first, including drag to position and pinch to zoom, and they handle HEIC files from iPhones which many portals reject.

Every exam page shows the date we last checked it against the official notification, and links to that official website. We do not publish a specification we have not read. Requirements still change, so please confirm before you upload. Found something wrong? Tell us and we will fix it the same day.

Yes. Email us the exam name and we will add it. In the meantime the custom resizer lets you enter any size from your own notification, so it works for every exam.
