SSC CGL Photo and Signature Resizer 2026: Size, Dimensions and Format

The SSC CGL photo and signature resizer helps you get your files to the exact size SSC asks for, so your application is not rejected for a wrong file size or blurred image. In SSC CGL 2026, SSC does not accept an uploaded photo: you capture a live photograph through a webcam or mobile during the application. The signature, however, still has to be scanned and uploaded as a JPG of 10–20 KB.

Use the free resizer below to bring your signature (and a photo for other forms that still accept uploads) to the right size, then check the SSC CGL 2026 specifications, the live photo rules and the most common reasons for rejection.

SSC CGL Photo Size for Other Uses

You do not upload a photo in the SSC CGL 2026 form, but you may still need one. Candidates whose Aadhaar authentication was not completed must carry two recent passport-size colour photographs to the exam centre. Many other recruitment forms still ask for an uploaded photo, usually around 3.5 cm × 4.5 cm in JPG of 20–50 KB; the resizer can produce this too.

How to Use the SSC CGL Signature Resizer

Follow these steps to get your signature ready for the SSC CGL form.

  • Sign on plain white paper with a black or blue ink pen, at roughly the size it will appear (do not sign large and shrink it).
  • Scan the signature, or photograph it in good light from directly above, without shadows.
  • Open the Guidely resizer and choose "Signature".
  • Upload the image, then crop it so only the signature remains, with a little white space around it.
  • Download the file. Check that it is a JPG between 10 KB and 20 KB and that the signature is sharp and readable.
  • Upload it in the SSC application and check it on the preview page before you submit.

The tool works on mobile and desktop. If you picked the wrong file, reload the page and start again.

How to Capture the SSC CGL Live Photo

The live photo is taken during the application on ssc.gov.in. Getting it right the first time avoids rejection.

Do

Don't

Sit in good, even light facing the camera

Sit with a window or bright light behind you

Use a plain, light-coloured wall behind you

Use a patterned or cluttered background

Keep the camera at eye level and look straight at it

Tilt your head or look to the side

Keep your full face inside the frame on the screen

Come too close or stand too far

Remove cap, mask and spectacles

Hold up or photograph an old printed photo

If your webcam does not work, use the QR code on the "Upload Documents" page to open the official app and capture the photo on your phone.

SSC CGL Photo and Signature Resizer FAQs

Q1. What is the SSC CGL signature size in KB? 

The SSC CGL signature must be a JPEG/JPG file between 10 KB and 20 KB, with dimensions of about 6.0 cm (width) × 2.0 cm (height). Sign in black or blue ink on white paper and make sure it is clear and legible.

Q2. Do I need to upload a photo for SSC CGL 2026? 

No. SSC CGL 2026 uses live photo capture: your photograph is taken through a webcam or mobile during the application. Uploading an old or existing photo is not allowed and leads to rejection.

Q3. How do I resize my signature for the SSC CGL form? 

Scan or photograph your signature on white paper, open the free resizer, choose Signature, crop it and download the JPG. Check that the file is between 10 KB and 20 KB and clearly readable before uploading it.

Q4. Why was my SSC CGL photo or signature rejected? 

The usual reasons are a blurred or tiny signature, a file outside 10–20 KB, the wrong format, a signature in capitals, or a live photo with spectacles, a cap, a side view or a photo of an old photograph. Always check the preview before submitting.

Q5. Can I wear spectacles in the SSC CGL live photo? 

No. Remove spectacles, caps and masks before capturing the live photo. Face the camera directly, in good light, against a plain, light-coloured background, with your full face inside the frame.
