SSC signature size: 6 × 2 cm, 10 to 20 KB

Scanned signature as a JPEG between 10 KB and 20 KB, about 6.0 cm wide by 2.0 cm high, as asked on SSC CGL, CHSL, MTS, CPO, GD and Stenographer forms. The photograph is no longer uploaded: the form captures it live. The preset below applies every part of the rule and shows the result before you download.

How it works

  1. The preset is set to 472 × 157 px, JPEG, 10 KB to 20 KB.
  2. Drop your photo. It is cropped around the centre to the exact shape, then compressed until it fits.
  3. Check the row: size, pixels, and whether it cleared the minimum.
  4. Download, and upload it to the portal.

Before you upload

  • Sign in black ink on plain white paper, photograph or scan it straight on, then crop to the signature with the crop tool's 3:1 ratio before applying the preset, so the cover crop does not cut the ends of your signature.
  • The notice gives the size in centimetres, not pixels. The preset uses 472 × 157 pixels (6 × 2 cm at 200 DPI), which clears 10 KB easily and still shows a sharp preview.
  • Candidates who authenticate with Aadhaar are not rejected on photograph or signature standards, but the file still has to be inside the 10 to 20 KB band to upload.

Questions

How many pixels is 6 × 2 cm?

At 200 DPI it is 472 × 157 pixels, at 300 DPI 709 × 236, at 100 DPI 236 × 79. The portal enforces the file-size band and shows a preview; any of these shapes prints as 6 × 2 cm, and the preset uses the 200 DPI figure.

Where is the SSC photo preset?

Removed on 2026-11-08. SSC notices from 2025 onward state that the application module captures the candidate's photograph live through the webcam or phone camera, and that an application where a pre-existing photo is held up to the camera is rejected. No photo file is uploaded, so there is nothing to resize.

Is the signature rule the same for every SSC exam?

The JPEG, 10 to 20 KB rule appears in every 2026 notice we checked (CHSL, Stenographer, CAPF, CHT and others). The stated dimension varies: CHSL 2026 says about 6.0 × 2.0 cm, older notices said 4 × 2 cm. Follow the notice for your exam; the band the portal enforces is the file size.
