OCI signature resizer
Take a photo of your signature, drag it into the frame, and download a JPEG that meets the OCI upload rules.
The OCI signature rules
| Shape | 3 times wider than tall (for example 600 × 200 pixels) |
|---|---|
| Size | At least 200 × 67 pixels; at most 900 × 300 or 1500 × 500 pixels, depending on the mission |
| File | JPEG, up to 200 KB (some missions allow 500 KB) |
| Ink | Black or blue, on plain white paper |
How to do it
- Sign in the middle of a clean sheet of white paper with a black or blue pen.
- Take a photo straight from above in good light, without shadows.
- Choose it above, zoom and drag until the signature fills the frame with a little white space around it.
- Press Download and upload the file in the OCI application.
For minors who can't sign, the rules allow a thumb impression instead. The same tool works for that.

Is it safe?
Yes. The photo is opened and resized by your own browser. It is never uploaded to a server, so nobody else can see it, and it works even if you go offline after the page has loaded. Saving a new copy also removes hidden camera data (EXIF), such as the GPS location where the photo was taken.
