Sarathi photo and signature specification
Learner licence and driving licence applications on Sarathi (sarathi.parivahan.gov.in) ask you to upload a photo and a signature. Sarathi's own photo and signature instructions set both as JPG files between 10 KB and 20 KB: the photo at 420 × 525 pixels (35 × 45 mm) and the signature at 256 × 64 pixels. This tool makes both at exactly those sizes and inside that KB range.

Source: Sarathi (Parivahan) photo and signature upload instructions for learner and driving licence applications. Specifications can change between recruitment cycles, so always check the current notification before you apply.
Photo
Use a recent colour photo, taken within the last six months, with your face clearly visible against a plain light background. The photo appears on your licence, so avoid caps, dark glasses and heavy shadows.
Signature
Sign in black pen on plain white paper, not blue. Take a photo of the signature in good light and let the tool crop, clean and resize it. Applicants who cannot sign give a thumb impression instead, as described in Sarathi's instructions.
Can I change the photo after uploading?
Sarathi allows a fresh upload only until the RTO completes scrutiny of your application, so check both files before you submit.
