How to resize your signature for SSC
- Sign in black ink on white paper and take a clear, well-lit photo or scan.
- Crop tightly around the signature with the Image Cropper.
- Select it above. The SSC signature preset (about 6×2 cm, 10–20 KB) is already chosen.
- Click Resize and download the JPG for your SSC CGL, CHSL, MTS, GD or other application.
SSC signature requirements
SSC notices give the signature size in centimetres rather than pixels: about 6.0 cm wide × 2.0 cm high, as a JPG/JPEG of 10–20 KB. Pixel figures quoted on other websites vary a lot because they assume different DPI values. What the portal actually checks is the file format and the KB range, plus a sensible wide-and-short shape, which is what this preset produces.
Always check your official notice. Exam bodies change photo and signature rules between cycles, and some (such as SSC) now capture the photo live during the application instead of taking an upload. The presets here were last checked on 13 November 2026; every value can be edited to match your notice exactly.
Live photo capture
In recent cycles SSC replaced the photo upload with live capture: the application asks for camera access and takes your photo on the spot. Sit facing a window or lamp, use a plain wall behind you, remove caps and glasses, and look straight at the camera. If an older or different SSC notice still asks for an uploaded photo, switch the preset to Custom and enter the size it states.
Common reasons for rejection
- Signature in capital letters, or signed with a pencil or blue gel pen that looks faint when small.
- Large white margins, which make the actual signature unreadable after resizing.
- File under 10 KB or over 20 KB.
- PNG or HEIC file instead of JPG. iPhone users can convert with HEIC to JPG.

Frequently asked questions
What is the SSC signature size?
Recent SSC notices ask for a signature of 10–20 KB in JPG/JPEG with dimensions of about 6.0 cm wide by 2.0 cm high. This tool's preset uses 236×79 pixels, which is that size at 100 DPI.
Do I still need to upload a photo for SSC?
Recent SSC notices capture the photograph live with your webcam or phone camera during the application instead of taking an uploaded file. Check your notice; if it asks for an upload, use the Custom preset with the stated size.
My SSC signature is rejected as too small. Why?
The file is probably under 10 KB. Resize it here: if the clean image comes out below 10 KB, the tool pads the file to the minimum while keeping the picture identical.
