    Questions

    My file comes out smaller than the minimum. What happens?

    Where there is a minimum, the tool first saves at top quality and then adds padding data that image viewers ignore, so the picture is unchanged and the file meets the minimum.

    How accurate are these requirements?

    Taken from the official notice or government page listed below. Rules can change with each new notice, so compare with the official instructions linked on this page.

    Is my photo uploaded to a server?

    No. Everything runs in your browser, so your photo and signature stay on your device. Nothing is uploaded unless you choose to share a file by link. That matters for ID documents. If your device can't handle an image, the tool can shrink it on our server instead, but only if you agree, and it is deleted right away.

    Your images stay on your device unless you share them by link. Ads keep this tool free. If you allow it, our advertising partner Google can use cookies to show you personalised ads and measure them. If you reject, Google shows only non-personalised ads, without advertising cookies. You can change this at any time under "Cookie settings" at the bottom of the page. Privacy policy
