SSC CGL Photo & Signature Size Guide
Every year thousands of SSC CGL applications are held back because the photo or signature does not match the size printed in the notification. Staff Selection Commission checks three things on every upload: the pixel dimensions, the file size in KB, and the file format. This freeSSC CGL photo & signature resizer (10KB–20KB) is pre-set to those exact figures, so you can upload any phone photo or scan and download files the portal will accept on the first try.
For SSC CGL, the photograph is captured live through your webcam during registration, so there is no photo file to upload. Your job is the signature: it must be 472×236px (4cm × 2cm) and between 10KB–20KB, saved as aJPEG file.
How to Resize Your Photo and Signature for SSC CGL
- Take a fresh photo against a plain white or light wall in daylight, or scan your signature signed on clean white paper.
- Upload the image in the SSC CGL resizer above — JPG, PNG and HEIC from iPhone all work.
- Drag and zoom the crop box to frame your face or signature. The box is locked to the official SSC CGL aspect ratio, so the output never looks stretched.
- For signatures, switch on the scan enhancer to remove paper shadows and get a pure white background.
- Download. The tool compresses the file to land inside the allowed KB range while keeping the exact pixel size, then shows you the final size before you save it.
SSC CGL Photo Requirements
Because SSC CGL uses live capture, prepare like it is an in-person photo: sit facing a plain light wall, keep even lighting on your face, remove caps and dark glasses, and look straight at the camera. Pre-scanned or old photos are rejected by the portal.
SSC CGL Signature Requirements & White Background
Sign in your normal running handwriting — not capital letters — with a black or blue pen on plain white paper, unless the notification says otherwise. Phone scans usually come out grey or shadowed, which looks unclear once shrunk to 472×236px. Our built-insignature background remover evens out the lighting and clamps the paper to a pure white background while keeping the ink dark. As a 10KB–20KB signature resizer, it also keeps the file small enough without breaking the strokes.
Add Name and Date on Photo for SSC CGL
SSC CGL does not normally ask for a name and date strip, but some recruitment cycles and document-verification rounds do. If yours does, turn on the stamp toggle in the resizer above or use the dedicated add name and date on photo tool — the white strip is added at the bottom and the final file still meets the SSC CGL size.
Resizing SSC CGL Photo and Signature on Mobile
You do not need a computer or a cyber café. Open this page in Chrome or Safari on your phone, tap upload, and pick the photo straight from your gallery or camera. Pinch to zoom inside the crop box, then download — the file saves to your Downloads or Files app, ready to attach in the SSC CGL application form. Since all processing happens on your phone, it works even on a slow connection once the page has loaded.
Common Reasons SSC CGL Uploads Get Rejected
- File size outside the allowed range — too large, or compressed below the minimum KB.
- Wrong pixel dimensions or a stretched image from a basic resize app.
- Dark, grey or shadowed background on the photo or signature.
- Signature in capital letters, or photo and signature uploaded in each other's slots.
- PNG or PDF uploaded where a JPG/JPEG is required.
The specification on this page was last checked against public sources. Always read the latest SSC CGL notification before final submission, and if the official figures change, set a custom size in the generic photo and signature tools.
SSC CGL Photo & Signature FAQs
Can I upload a photo for SSC CGL?
No. SSC CGL requires a live webcam capture of your photo during the application process. Only your signature is uploaded as a scanned file — this tool helps you resize that signature to the exact 4.0cm × 2.0cm, 10–20KB specification.
What format should the SSC CGL signature be in?
A JPEG scan of your handwritten signature in black or blue ink on plain white paper, sized to 4.0cm × 2.0cm (approximately 472×236px) and between 10KB and 20KB.
What if my signature file is larger than 20KB?
Use the compressor above — it binary-searches image quality (and shrinks resolution only if needed) to land your file inside the 10–20KB range while keeping the exact required pixel dimensions.
What is the SSC CGL photo and signature size in pixels and KB?
Photo: captured live through the webcam on the official portal, so no file is uploaded. Signature: 472×236px, 10KB–20KB. All files are JPG.
How do I reduce my SSC CGL signature to the required KB size?
Upload your image to the SSC CGL resizer on this page. It crops to the exact SSC CGL dimensions and compresses the file into the 10KB–20KB window, keeping the highest quality that fits.
Do I need to add name and date (DOP) on the SSC CGL photo?
No. The SSC CGL photo is captured live through the webcam on the official portal, which records the capture date itself, so you don’t add a name or date strip. You only upload your signature.
How do I make my SSC CGL signature background pure white from a mobile camera photo?
Sign on plain white paper, photograph it in good light without shadows and upload it here in Signature mode. Keep “Clean Paper Background (Signature Enhancer)” on — it removes shadows and grey paper tone so the background is pure white, then sizes the file to 472×236px, 10KB–20KB.
Why is my SSC CGL signature getting rejected or looking blurry?
Usually because the signature was cropped with too much empty space, the background is grey or shadowed, or the file was over-compressed. Crop tightly around the ink, sign with a darker pen and keep the Signature Enhancer on — the SSC CGL preset then keeps the signature sharp within 10KB–20KB.
How do I reduce my SSC CGL signature size on mobile without losing quality?
Open this page in your phone’s browser, upload from your gallery or camera and tap Process & Download. The tool picks the highest JPEG quality that still fits 10KB–20KB, and only reduces resolution if it must — no app needed.
Is it safe to upload my SSC CGL photo and signature on Sarkari Photo?
Yes. It is completely free with no watermark or sign-up, and every step runs inside your browser — your photo and signature are never uploaded to any server.
