How to make your SSC CGL uploads
- 01
Take the photo against a white wall
Face the light, look straight at the camera and keep your ears and shoulders in view. The tool frames it and makes the file the right size.
- 02
Sign on plain white paper
Use a black pen, sign large and photograph the page from above. The tool removes the paper and shadows.
- 03
Download both files and upload them
Each download is already at the form's pixel size and inside its KB limits, so the form accepts it as it is.
Questions people ask
What is the SSC CGL signature size?
The file must be 10–20 KB in JPEG format, and the image about 6.0 cm wide and 2.0 cm high. PhotoDesk makes it 472 × 157 px, which is 6 × 2 cm at 200 dpi.
Do I need to upload a photo for SSC CGL 2026?
No. The application captures a live photo with your webcam or phone camera. You don't need an existing photo, and capturing a photo of an old photo gets the form rejected.
Can I wear glasses for the SSC live photo?
No. The notice says not to wear a cap, mask or glasses while the photo is captured, and to look straight at a camera at eye level.
Why was my SSC signature rejected?
The notice rejects blurred or miniature signatures. Sign large and dark on white paper, photograph it in good light, and keep the file between 10 and 20 KB.
