Some portals state the signature rule in pixels rather than centimetres. This resizes to exactly 140 × 60.
Where 140 × 60 comes from
It is the classic 6cm × 2cm signature box expressed at screen resolution. The ratio is not quite identical — 140:60 is 2.33:1 where 6:2 is 3:1 — so a crop made for one is slightly off for the other. If your form states pixels, follow the pixels.
The tool above is preset to 140 × 60 with the aspect lock available. Untick it if you need the exact stated pixels regardless of your original proportions; leave it on if you would rather keep the writing undistorted and land close.
Other pixel sizes portals ask for

| 413 × 531 px | Passport photograph at 300 DPI, not a signature |
Frequently asked questions
How do I resize a signature to 140 x 60 pixels?
Upload the scan above — the width and height are already set to 140 and 60. Choose your image and download.
Is 140 x 60 pixels the same as 6cm x 2cm?
Close but not identical. 6cm by 2cm is a 3:1 strip; 140 by 60 pixels is 2.33:1. If your notification gives pixels, use the pixel figure.
What file size should a 140 x 60 signature be?
At those dimensions a signature is naturally tiny — often under 10KB. If your form also sets a minimum, increase the file size afterwards so it clears the floor.
