Resizing IBPS application form signature file

I was facing trouble in resizing signature file for uploading at IBPS online application form. According to IBPS (Indian Banking Personnel Selection) guideline signature file should be between 10KB-20KB and it’s dimension should be (140 x 60)px in jpeg/jpg image format.

It is not a big trick but if you are novice like me and don’t know even P of Photoshop, then this may be helpful for you.
