SSC (CGL, CHSL, MTS, GD, Selection Post): Photo & Signature Resizer
As last checked on 26 September 2026, SSC asks for: the photo is captured live during the application, so no photo file is uploaded; Signature 472×157 px, 10–20 KB, JPEG. The free tool below sets these numbers for you and runs entirely in your browser.
SSC's new application module captures your photograph live through the webcam or the SSC mobile app, so you do not upload a photo file. You still upload a scanned signature. Get your SSC photo & signature to the exact required size in seconds — free, private, and entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

- Signature: About 6.0 cm (w) x 2.0 cm (h); no DPI given - pixels shown are 6.0 x 2.0 cm at 200 DPI. Blurred or miniature signatures are rejected. (Derived: 6.0 x 2.0 cm at 200 DPI (SSC states cm, not pixels).)
What else does SSC require?
- Photo: captured live in the application (no pre-existing photo, no cap, mask or spectacles).
- Signature: JPEG/JPG, 10-20 KB, about 6.0 cm wide x 2.0 cm high.
- The same notice elsewhere mentions about 4.0 x 2.0 cm; both say 'about'. The KB limit is the hard rule.
How do I resize my SSC files?
- Open the tool above and upload your file (JPG, PNG, WEBP or iPhone HEIC).
- The SSC preset sets Signature 472×157 px, 10–20 KB automatically.
- Crop to frame your face (or your signature), optionally fix the background, then Download when the badge is green.
SSC uploads: frequently asked questions
What is the SSC Signature size?
472 × 157 pixels, 10–20 KB, JPEG, background: White paper, black/blue ink. Pixels: Derived: 6.0 x 2.0 cm at 200 DPI (SSC states cm, not pixels). Last checked 26 September 2026 — confirm with the latest notification.
Do I need to upload a photo for SSC CGL/CHSL 2026?
No. The 2026 notices say the application module captures a live photo through your camera. Capturing a photo of an existing photograph leads to rejection. You upload only the signature file.
Why does this page resize the signature to 472 x 157 px?
SSC gives the signature as about 6.0 cm x 2.0 cm without a DPI. 472 x 157 px is 6.0 x 2.0 cm at 200 DPI, a common scanning resolution. The binding rule is the 10-20 KB file size.
Are my SSC photo and signature uploaded to your server?
No. Cropping, resizing and compression happen in your browser. No file is uploaded or stored.
What if the SSC notification changes the size?
Specs can change every cycle. Check the new SSC notification; if the numbers differ, paste the new requirement into the tool's “Not listed?” box or type the pixels and KB — and tell us so we can update the preset.
