How to Merge Photo and Signature into One File Without Photoshop (IBPS & Bank Exam Trick)

Applying for SBI PO, IBPS Clerk, or nationalized bank recruitment? Learn how to combine candidate photograph and signature vertically on a white background card under 50KB.

When filling out banking recruitment portals, candidates often run into form rules requiring a single unified upload containing both their passport photograph and handwritten signature.

Doing this in Photoshop or Paint takes time, causes ratio distortion, and often exceeds the strict 50KB or 100KB file limit.

The Standard Banking Document Format

Portals expect a clean vertical layout:

  • Top Half: Passport size photograph (3.5×4.5 cm proportion).
  • Bottom Half: Scanned signature in black ink on clean white background.
  • Canvas: Flat white card background preventing dark borders.
  • File Weight: Strictly under 50KB or 100KB.

How to Merge Photo and Signature Online in 3 Simple Steps

  1. Open OptiKit's Photo Signature Joiner.
  2. Upload your passport photo in slot 1 and scanned signature in slot 2.
  3. Set your size slider (e.g. 50KB or 100KB) and click Merge Photo & Signature.

The tool calculates proportion ratios, renders the composite card in your browser's RAM, and downloads a clean JPG file ready for immediate portal submission.
