How to use

  1. Choose your photo (switch tabs for signature and other documents). A clear phone camera picture is fine.
  2. Drag and zoom so your face (or signature) fills the frame.
  3. For signatures, keep “Clean background” on so the paper turns pure white. Tap Make. The tool sets the exact pixel size and keeps the file within the KB limit.
  4. Download the JPG and upload it to the application form.
