Free Photo + Signature Joiner Online - BSR Tools

What is the BSR Photo + Signature Joiner?

The BSR Photo + Signature Joiner is a free, browser-based tool that combines your passport-size photograph and signature into a single image — exactly as required by various government examination portals in India. When you apply for SSC, Railway RRB, Banking (IBPS/SBI), or State PSC exams, many portals require a single composite image containing both your photo and signature arranged in a specific layout. Manually merging these images requires Photoshop or similar software, but this tool does it instantly with one-click exam presets and zero technical knowledge required.

Why Do Government Exams Need a Combined Photo & Signature?

Examination bodies use combined photo-signature images to verify candidate identity during admit card generation and at the examination centre. A single composite image reduces upload steps and ensures consistent formatting across all candidates. This practice is common in:

• SSC Examinations: SSC CGL, CHSL, MTS, and GD Constable require the photo on top and signature at the bottom in a single file
• Banking Exams: IBPS PO, Clerk, SO, and SBI exams sometimes require combined uploads
• Railway RRB: NTPC, Group D, and JE forms may need composite images
• State PSCs: Several state commissions require combined photo-signature uploads

How to Combine Photo and Signature — Step-by-Step

1. Upload your passport photo: Click the photo upload area and select your passport-size photograph. The tool shows a preview with dimensions and file size.
2. Upload your signature: Click the signature upload area and select your scanned signature image. Use a clear scan on white paper with dark ink.
3. Select an exam preset: Choose from SSC Format (150×200 + 150×60), Banking Format (200×230 + 200×60), UPSC Format (350×350 + 350×150), or Railway Format (200×200 + 200×70). The preset auto-fills the correct dimensions.
4. Adjust settings (optional): Fine-tune the gap between photo and signature, change the background colour, or enter custom dimensions as per the notification.
5. Click "Merge & Download": The tool composites both images onto a single canvas, compresses to your target file size in KB, and generates a downloadable JPEG.

Tips for a Perfect Combined Image

For the best results, prepare your photo and signature separately before combining. Take your passport photo in front of a plain white or light background with even lighting. For your signature, use a white sheet with black or dark blue ink, sign naturally, and scan or photograph it with good lighting. Crop tightly around your signature before uploading. If the portal rejects your combined image, try reducing the target KB by 10% as some portals have strict overhead accounting. Always keep the original separate files saved in case you need to adjust dimensions for different exams throughout the recruitment cycle.
