FAQ
Is this signature tool officially provided by CDS?
No. FreeApplyTools is an independent utility. The engine follows official CDS notification rules for 2026.
Why is my signature being rejected?
Signatures are often rejected if in wrong ink color (e.g., blue when black is required), on lined paper, or over 200KB. Our tool fixes the file size.
Common AFA (Air Force Academy) Signature Upload Errors
"File size exceeds 200KB"
The CDS portal blocks uploads above 200KB. Our compressor automatically reduces to 20–200KB.
"Signature not in black ink"
Many applicants sign in blue or pencil. CDS explicitly requires black ink on plain white paper.
"Signature scanned on lined/ruled paper"
Use blank white paper. Notebook lines in the scan are a common rejection reason across government exam portals.
