Frequently asked questions
What is the India Post GDS signature ratio?
The July 2026 Schedule-II reference specifies a 5:2 width-to-height ratio and recommends 300 × 120 pixels for the signature image. Confirm the active notice for a future cycle.
What is the GDS signature file-size limit?
The July 2026 Schedule-II reference lists 20KB to 100KB for the signature JPG/JPEG. Check the active application portal before final submission because recruitment requirements can change.
Does this tool accept a portrait signature?
It accepts the source image, but the downloaded result is always a 5:2 landscape canvas. Keep the complete signature visible and avoid cropping the ink.
Is the 5:2 requirement a ±10% range?
The official notification states 5:2 but does not specify a ±10% tolerance. This tool therefore targets the exact 5:2 output for the safest preparation.
How do I fix the error ‘Image must have 5:2 (landscape) aspect ratio (±10% tolerance)’?
Use the exact 300 × 120 pixel landscape output from this tool, keep the complete signature visible, and download the JPG/JPEG. The page targets the exact 5:2 ratio because the July 2026 reference states 5:2; it does not define a separate ±10% tolerance.
