SSC Signature (10–20 KB) & Photo (20–50 KB) in your browser

Staff Selection Commission (SSC) exam forms on ssc.gov.in require a scanned 10–20 KB JPEG signature (6×2 cm, 709×236 px) alongside a 20–50 KB JPEG photograph (3.5×4.5 cm, 413×531 px) where file upload applies, and this page prepares both in your browser. Aspirants routinely face rejected applications because signatures fall outside the narrow 10–20 KB band, look miniature inside a wide page crop, or carry grey phone shadows. Use the signature slot first below — or the photo slot for Scribe OTR and file-upload workflows — to crop tightly, whiten paper, and verify exact kilobyte bounds. Neither file leaves your browser.

How to Prepare Your SSC Signature and Photograph

  1. Sign horizontally on unruled white paper

    Write your running-hand signature with black or dark blue ink on plain white paper, photograph it flat under bright light, and load it into the signature slot.

  2. Crop tightly so ink fills the frame

    Zoom in until your signature spans most of the 709×236 px box without wide blank margins; use the second slot only when your SSC workflow accepts an uploaded 413×531 px photo.

  3. Generate and verify kilobyte bounds

    Click Generate Compliant Photo to export JPEGs verified inside 10–20 KB (signature) and 20–50 KB (photo).

Why SSC Applications Are Rejected Over Signature and Photo Rules

Across CGL, CHSL, MTS, and GD cycles, SSC rejects applications after scrutiny when signatures look blurred or miniature, or when candidates misunderstand live webcam capture rules.

Hitting the Narrow 10–20 KB Signature Band Without Blur

A phone photo of a signature weighs several megabytes, whereas shrinking pixel dimensions too far drops a clean white image below 10 KB (10,240 bytes) or turns strokes into unreadable blocks. Whitening grey paper shadows and tuning JPEG quality around 709×236 px lands cleanly between 10 KB and 20 KB.

Live Photo Capture on ssc.gov.in vs File-Upload Photo Slot

Standard candidate applications on ssc.gov.in capture your photograph live via webcam or the mySSC mobile app (never photograph a printed photo during live capture), while still requiring a pre-saved 10–20 KB JPEG upload for your signature. Use the 20–50 KB (3.5×4.5 cm) photo slot here for Scribe One-Time Registration and workflows that request a JPEG file upload.

Disqualification Traps in Official SSC Notices

  • Avoid miniature signatures: Uploading a tiny signature floating in the middle of a full notebook sheet triggers rejection; crop close to the ink edges.
  • Running handwriting, horizontal alignment: Sign horizontally in normal running handwriting rather than disconnected block capitals.
  • No spectacles or caps: SSC disqualifies photographs wearing eyeglasses, tinted lenses, caps, or masks.

SSC Signature & Photo Upload FAQs

Answers to ssc.gov.in live capture, signature KB errors, and scrutiny rules.

Does ssc.gov.in still require uploading a signature JPEG file?

Yes. Even when the exam form captures your candidate photograph live via webcam or the mySSC app, you must upload a scanned JPEG signature strictly between 10 KB and 20 KB.

Why did ssc.gov.in reject my signature even though it was under 20 KB?

The portal enforces both a 10 KB floor and a 20 KB ceiling, requires .jpg/.jpeg format rather than PNG or PDF, and rejects miniature or vertically rotated signatures.

When should I use the SSC photograph upload slot on this page?

Use the 20–50 KB (3.5×4.5 cm) photo slot for Scribe OTR registration on ssc.gov.in or departmental forms that request a file upload instead of live camera capture.

Are my signature and photo uploaded to any server?

No. Every crop, paper-whitening pass, and JPEG encode happens locally inside your browser.
