SSC Photo & Signature Size (2026): Exact Pixels, KB and How to Resize

By FreeNation Softwares · Updated 2026-10-17

If you are filling an SSC online application — CGL, CHSL, MTS, GD or CPO — the photo and signature you upload must match an exact size, both in pixels and in KB (file size). Uploading a photo that is too big or too small is one of the most common reasons SSC forms get rejected. This guide gives you the correct 2026 sizes and the quickest way to fix your photo.

SSC photo and signature size (2026)

• Photo: 200 × 230 pixels, file size 20 KB – 50 KB, JPG format
• Signature: 140 × 60 pixels, file size 10 KB – 20 KB, JPG format
• Background: plain white or light background for the photo
• Signature ink: black or blue pen on white unruled paper

How to resize your SSC photo and signature (free, in your browser)

You don't need Photoshop or any app. Use the free SSC resizer — it sets the correct pixels and KB automatically, and your photo is never uploaded to any server (it is processed on your own device).

1. Open the SSC resizer — Go to the SSC Photo & Signature tool — the SSC Photo preset is already selected.
2. Upload your photo — Tap Select photo and choose your passport photo from your phone or computer.
3. Download — The tool resizes it to 200×230 px and keeps it inside 20–50 KB. Tap Download.
4. Do the signature — Switch to the SSC Signature preset, upload your signature, and download it at 140×60 px, 10–20 KB.

Common SSC photo mistakes to avoid

• Photo larger than 50 KB or smaller than 20 KB — gets rejected
• Blurry or old photo — use a recent, clear passport photo
• Signature in capital letters or pencil — use running handwriting in dark ink
• Wrong dimensions — always use the exact 200×230 (photo) and 140×60 (signature)

Once your photo and signature are the right size, upload them in the SSC portal and your form should go through without a size error.
