Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. How do I make the signature background 100% pure white?

After cropping your signature, open Step 4 (Brightness & Contrast). Set Contrast between 140% and 180% and Brightness between 110% and 130%, then click 'Apply Filter'. This eliminates dirty grayish or bluish paper shadows, transforming the background into pure white while making blue or black ink strokes bold and sharp.

2. Does compressing a photo to 20KB or 50KB blur facial features?

No. eMitraTool uses advanced bicubic resampling and JPEG comment padding algorithms. It preserves essential facial pixels (eyes, ears, nose) in crisp detail while optimizing metadata, ensuring your 20KB or 50KB photo passes portal validation without rejection.

3. Can I extract both photo and signature separately from the same scanned document or PDF?

Yes, absolutely. Upload your full scanned A4 document or PDF page. Select 'Photo' mode to crop and download your photo in 20KB-50KB. Then select 'Signature' mode on the same document to crop and download the signature in 10KB-20KB.

4. What are the key guidelines for cropping a Left Thumb Impression (LTI)?

Always take thumb impressions using clear blue or black stamp ink on white paper. When cropping, frame only the fingerprint ridges without excess blank margins, and lock the output size between 10 KB and 20 KB.

5. Are my uploaded certificates, signatures, or photos stored on your server?

eMitraTool operates on 100% client-side (Browser-Only) technology. None of your photos, signatures, or personal documents are ever uploaded to any server. All processing takes place entirely within your own device's browser memory.
