Critical: The Sarathi signature window (10–20 KB) is exceptionally narrow. Standard compressors typically produce 7 KB (rejected: too small) or 22 KB (rejected: too large). Kagazo targets 12–18 KB using iterative binary-search JPEG quality adjustment.

Common Sarathi Parivahan Errors and How Kagazo Fixes Them

Avoid common application mistakes that trigger instant portal rejection:

Sarathi Parivahan enforces a strict 10 KB floor. Kagazo safely pads files to 14 KB.

Error: Wrong Aspect Ratio

Signature Not 20x50 mm (2.5:1 Ratio)

Signatures must be landscape 2.5:1 ratio. Kagazo locks exact millimeter dimensions.

Frequently Asked Questions — Sarathi Driving Licence Photo & Signature

Everything you need to know about Sarathi Parivahan 4.0 photo and signature upload requirements.

What are the exact photo specifications for Sarathi Parivahan Driving Licence in 2025?

The Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRTH) Sarathi Parivahan 4.0 portal requires applicant passport photographs to measure 35 mm × 45 mm. At 300 DPI, this corresponds to approximately 413 × 531 pixels. The file format must be JPEG/JPG with a light or plain white background, and the file size must be strictly between 20 KB and 50 KB. Files outside this range trigger an automatic portal upload error.

What are the exact signature specifications for Sarathi 4.0 portal?

The applicant signature must measure 20 mm × 50 mm. At 300 DPI, this corresponds to approximately 236 × 591 pixels. The file size must be strictly between 10 KB and 20 KB in JPEG/JPG format. The signature should be on clean white paper with dark blue or black ink. Kagazo's binary-search engine targets 12–18 KB to stay well within the 10–20 KB window.

Why does the Parivahan portal show "File size is out of bounds"?

Sarathi Parivahan 4.0 has one of the tightest signature size windows in India — strictly 10 KB to 20 KB. Regular image compressors often produce signatures at 7–9 KB (too small, below the minimum) or 22–25 KB (too large, above the maximum). Both fail silently on most portals but produce explicit errors on Sarathi. Kagazo's iterative binary-search JPEG quality engine guarantees the signature lands between 12 KB and 18 KB with 300 DPI JFIF markers embedded.

What is the difference between a Learner Licence (LL) and Driving Licence (DL) application — do photo requirements differ?

Both LL and DL applications on Sarathi Parivahan use the same photo and signature specifications: 35×45 mm (20–50 KB) for the photograph and 20×50 mm (10–20 KB) for the signature. The same Kagazo output can be used for both LL (Form 2) and DL (Form 4) applications and for DL renewal (Form 9).

Can I upload a phone selfie for my driving licence application?

Yes, but selfies must meet specific requirements: plain white or light background (no colored walls), front-facing, no sunglasses, no caps or hats (unless for religious reasons), and direct lighting without harsh shadows. Upload your selfie to Kagazo, use the 35×45 mm crop guide to adjust framing, and the tool handles all resizing, DPI embedding, and file size compliance.

Does Sarathi Parivahan accept photographs taken at a photo studio?

Yes. Studio photographs are typically printed at 35×45 mm and scanned by the photographer at 600 DPI+, resulting in files of 300 KB to 2 MB — far too large for the 50 KB portal limit. Upload the high-resolution scan to Kagazo, and it will resize, embed 300 DPI, and compress to the compliant 20–50 KB range in seconds.

What is Form 2 photo requirement for Sarathi (Learner Licence)?

Form 2 (Learner Licence application) requires a recent passport photograph (35×45 mm, 20–50 KB, JPEG) along with a scanned signature (20×50 mm, 10–20 KB, JPEG). Both files must meet the same Sarathi Parivahan 4.0 specifications. This is the same as Form 4 (DL application) and Form 9 (DL renewal).

My DL renewal application says "Photo rejected by RTO officer." What went wrong?

RTO officers can reject photographs for three main reasons beyond file size: (1) The photo is too old — most RTOs require photos taken within the last 3–6 months; (2) The background is not plain white/light — colored walls or patterned backgrounds are rejected; (3) The applicant is wearing reflective glasses. Ensure your photo meets these guidelines before uploading.

Why does the Sarathi portal say "Invalid image format" for my JPEG photo?

Some camera apps save HEIC or WEBP files with a .jpg extension, causing format mismatch errors. Kagazo automatically converts any uploaded HEIC, WebP, PNG, or misnamed file to a genuine JPEG during processing, ensuring format compliance.

Are my identity documents uploaded to any server?

No. All resizing, cropping, DPI header injection, and JPEG compression occur directly inside your browser's volatile RAM via WebAssembly and HTML5 Canvas. Zero files are uploaded to any Kagazo server. Your driving licence application photos never leave your device.

Privacy Architecture — Your DL Documents Never Leave Your Device

All processing — including photo crop, DPI header injection, ink contrast enhancement, and JPEG binary-search compression — executes 100% inside your browser's volatile RAM using HTML5 Canvas and WebAssembly. Your driving licence application photos and signatures are never transmitted to any external server or stored in any database. The moment you close the tab, all image data is purged from memory.
