Resize, crop and compress your photo and signature to the exact SSC GD Constable specification — free, instant, and 100% processed in your browser. Add your name and date on the photo, whiten the signature background, and download a file the portal accepts. Nothing is ever uploaded to a server.
SSC GD's photo is captured live via webcam on the official portal — no upload is accepted there. This fallback lets you prepare a standard 3.5×4.5cm photo for other purposes.
Your source image is smaller than the required output size — the result may look slightly soft. A higher-resolution original is recommended.

SSC GD Photo & Signature Size Guide
Every year thousands of SSC GD 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 GD 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 GD, 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 709×236px (6cm × 2cm) and between 10KB–20KB, saved as aJPEG file.
How to Resize Your Photo and Signature for SSC GD
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 GD 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 GD 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 GD Photo Requirements
Because SSC GD 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 GD 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 709×236px. 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 GD
For SSC GD, the portal prints the capture date automatically on the live photo. If a coaching centre or document verification later asks for a photo with your name and date, use our add name and date on photo tool.
Resizing SSC GD 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 GD application form. Since all processing happens on your phone, it works even on a slow connection once the page has loaded.
Common Reasons SSC GD 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 GD notification before final submission, and if the official figures change, set a custom size in the generic photo and signature tools.
SSC GD Photo & Signature FAQs
Does SSC GD need a name and date printed on the photo?
You don't add it yourself — because the photo is captured live through the webcam during registration, the portal timestamps it automatically. You only need to upload your signature.
What size should my SSC GD signature be?
6.0cm × 2.0cm (about 709×236px), between 10KB and 20KB, scanned in black or blue ink on white paper.
How do I reduce my SSC GD signature to the required KB size?
Upload your image to the SSC GD resizer on this page. It crops to the exact SSC GD dimensions and compresses the file into the 10KB–20KB window, keeping the highest quality that fits.
How do I make my SSC GD 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 709×236px, 10KB–20KB.
Why is my SSC GD 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 GD preset then keeps the signature sharp within 10KB–20KB.
How do I reduce my SSC GD 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.
Can I upload an iPhone HEIC or PNG image for the SSC GD form?
Yes. Upload the HEIC or PNG file directly — it is converted to JPG in your browser and compressed to the SSC GD requirement in one step. If your browser cannot read a particular HEIC file, export it as JPEG from the Photos app and try again.
Is it safe to upload my SSC GD 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.
