SSC CGL Photo & Signature Size 2026
Resize your photo and signature to the official SSC CGL size and KB limit.
SSC captures your photograph live while you fill the form, so there is no photo file to resize. Only the signature is uploaded.
Your photo is captured live
Captured live in the application form; no photo file is uploaded. Nothing to resize here; follow these official rules when the camera opens:
- Captured live through a webcam or mobile camera in the application module, or through the mySSC app via the QR code on the Upload Documents page.
- Taking a photo of an existing photograph leads to rejection.
- Good light and a plain background; camera at eye level; look straight ahead, full frontal view.
- Keep your face fully inside the area marked by the camera, neither too close nor too far.
- No cap, mask or glasses/spectacles.
- Your appearance at the exam must match the captured photo.
