Signature + Photo PDF Maker
Print photo and signature pairs together, sized for application forms.
Many Indian application forms want a photograph with a signature directly beneath it, both at specified sizes, pasted into one box. Printing them separately and aligning them by hand rarely looks right. This prints them together as a single unit you cut once.
Your images never leave your device. They are read and processed by your browser and written into a PDF in memory. Nothing is uploaded.

What the Signature + Photo PDF Maker does
You add two images: the photograph first, then the signature. Each cell on the sheet contains the photograph at the size you set with the signature immediately below it at the same width, and the cutting guide surrounds both — so one cut gives you the complete unit.
Signatures scan best in dark ink on white paper. The signature is placed as supplied, so trim it first if it has a lot of surrounding white space — the signature resizer does that.
How to use this tool
- Sign on plain white paper in black or dark blue ink and photograph or scan it.
- Add the photograph first, then the signature — check the order in the file list.
- Set the photo dimensions and the signature height. 35 × 45 mm with a 15 mm signature is typical.
- Choose the number of copies and create the PDF.
- Print at 100% scale and cut around each combined unit.
How the pair is laid out
Each cell contains:
photograph at photo width × photo height
2 mm gap
signature at photo width × signature height
cell height = photo height + signature height + 2 mm
Cells are tiled across the page with the chosen gap and
margin, and the cutting guide surrounds the whole cell so
one cut produces the complete photo-and-signature unit.
Worked example
Example: a bank or exam form
| Photograph | 35 × 45 mm |
| Signature | 35 × 15 mm below it |
| Cell | 35 × 62 mm including the gap |
| On A4 | 5 columns × 3 rows = 15 pairs |
Fifteen ready-to-paste units from one sheet, each cut in a single pass.
What your result means
Print at 100% scale with no "fit to page" or "shrink to fit" setting, or the physical size will be wrong. Check the printed result with a ruler.
The signature is stretched to the photo width. If it looks distorted, crop the signature image to a similar proportion first.
Sign consistently. The signature on the form should match the one on your other documents and on the answer sheet.
Important considerations
- Trim the signature image before uploading, or it will appear small within a lot of white space. The signature resizer does the trimming.
- Use dark ink and a reasonably thick nib. Light strokes reproduce poorly at 15 mm tall.
- Some forms want the photograph and signature in separate boxes — check before printing them joined.
- Many forms require the signature to be made in the applicant's own hand in the presence of an official; a printed signature may not be accepted everywhere.
- Print a test unit and check both sizes with a ruler before printing the full sheet.
- Photograph specifications are set by each notification or portal and change between cycles. The dimensions here are configurable defaults, not a guarantee that any particular department will accept the output. Always confirm the required size against the current official instructions.
Limitations of this tool
- Images are capped at 2400–3000 pixels on the longest side to keep memory use manageable on phones.
- Photographs are embedded as JPEG, so PNG transparency is flattened onto white.
- Perspective distortion cannot be corrected — photograph the page square-on for the best result.
- The signature is drawn at the photograph's width, so a very wide or narrow signature image will look stretched unless cropped first.
- Only one photograph and one signature per sheet.
Frequently asked questions
Which file should I add first?
The photograph first, the signature second. The file list order decides, and the arrows let you swap them.
Why does my signature look stretched?
It is drawn at the photograph's width. Crop the signature image to a similar proportion first — the signature resizer trims the surrounding white space automatically.
Is a printed signature acceptable on a form?
It depends on the form. Many accept it; some require a signature made in ink in the presence of an official. Check the instructions before relying on a printed one.
Can I print just the signature at a set size?
Set the photo height very small and the signature height to what you need, or use the signature resizer for a digital upload.
