How to Capture a Perfect Signature
Sign on clean, unlined white paper using a dark blue or black ballpoint pen. Take a well-lit photo directly from above without casting shadows. Crop tightly around the signature ink so 90% of the image is the actual signature.
Why Signature Files Get Blurry
When you compress a huge photo that has lots of white background, the compression algorithm wastes precious bytes compressing empty paper. Cropping first ensures that every kilobyte is dedicated to the pen strokes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I save my signature as PNG or JPG?
Most portals specify JPG or JPEG. If given a choice, JPEG reaches smaller file sizes more reliably while meeting the 20KB ceiling.
What dimensions should a signature be?
A typical dimensions range is 300×150 px to 400×200 px at 96 DPI.
