    What this page does
    Signature6.0 cm wide × 2.0 cm tall, JPG, 10 KB to 20 KB
    PhotoCaptured live in the application for recent exams
    Photo preset3.5 × 4.5 cm, 20 KB to 50 KB, for forms that still ask for an upload

    These are the commonly listed requirements as of November 2026. Rules change between notices, so always check the official notification before you upload. The notice gives the signature size in centimetres only; the preset uses 200 DPI (472 × 157 px). One annexure of the CGL notice reportedly says 4.0 × 2.0 cm; change the width in Settings if your form asks for that.

    How to use it

    1. Sign on plain white paper and take a clear photo in daylight.
    2. Choose the signature preset and drop the photo.
    3. Download it and upload it in the SSC application.

    SSC signature in three steps

    Crop the photo of your signature tightly first, leaving a little white space on each side. The preset fits it inside 6 × 2 cm without stretching, makes the paper pure white and keeps the file between 10 KB and 20 KB.

    Recent SSC exams take the candidate's photo live during the application, so you may only need the signature file. Older-style forms that still ask for an uploaded photo can use the photo preset.

    Questions

    Is it 6 × 2 cm or 4 × 2 cm?

    Recent SSC notices list 6.0 cm × 2.0 cm. Older forms used other sizes, so check your exam's notice; you can change the width and height under Settings.

    My signature comes out under 10 KB. Is that a problem?

    The tool prevents it: if the compressed signature is under 10 KB, it is raised to the minimum without changing the picture.

    Is my photo uploaded to a server?

    No. The resizing runs inside your browser with JavaScript, so the image stays on your device. Nothing is uploaded unless you choose to share it with "Share by link" in the Download step. Once the page has loaded, resizing keeps working even if you go offline. If your device can't handle an image, the tool can shrink it on our server instead, but only if you agree, and it is deleted right away.
