The notice says the photo is captured live — you do not upload one.

Official requirements

The numbers below come from the official notice. Each source is quoted as we read it.

  • Photo (live capture)

    Taken live on the portal

    No file is uploaded by the candidate in either exam: the application module captures the candidate's photograph while the form is being filled in (Para 9.4 of each notice). Neither notice states a file format, KB size or pixel/cm dimensions for the photograph.

  • Signature

    JPG6 × 2 cm at 300 dpi10–20 KB

    Scanned signature as JPEG/JPG, 10 to 20 KB, about 6.0 cm (width) x 2.0 cm (height) (Para 9.6 of each notice). The portal's own upload screen, reproduced in Annexure-IVA of each notice, repeats these figures and adds 'at a resolution of 300 DPI'. Annexure-IV of each notice says about 4.0 x 2.0 cm instead (see the other readings below); the CGL Annexure-IV text adds that PwD(VH) candidates may also use a thumb impression. No pixel dimensions are stated. The portal screen also says that an application with a blurred or miniature signature will be rejected and that the signature should be horizontally aligned.

The notice also says:

  • SSC CGL 2026 notice: Annexure-IV (p. 71) states a different signature size (4.0 x 2.0 cm); Para 9.6, Para 23 and the portal upload screen state 6.0 x 2.0 cm. Annexure-IV step 24 (p. 73) points back to this text ('Upload your signature as specified at S.No.-1b above'). The scanned signature in JPEG/JPG format (10 to 20 KB). The image dimension of signature should be about 4.0 cm (Width) x 2.0 cm (Height). The applications with blurred signature will be rejected summarily. For the PwD(VH) candidates, the thumb impression is also allowed.
  • SSC CHSL 2026 notice: Annexure-IV (p. 53) states a different signature size (4.0 x 2.0 cm); Para 9.6, Para 24 and the portal upload screen state 6.0 x 2.0 cm. Annexure-IV step 19 (p. 55) points back to this text ('Upload your signature as specified at S.No.-1b above'). Scanned signature in JPEG format (10 to 20 KB). Image dimension of the signature should be about 4.0 cm (width) x 2.0 cm (height). Applications with illegible/ blurred signature will be rejected.

We show these readings but check your file against the numbers in the cards above.

What we check — and what we don't

  • File type. The file you download is a JPG.

  • Pixels. The width and height in pixels, when the notice states them. We scale the picture, and crop it when the notice sets both sides, and never stretch it.

  • Centimetres. This notice gives some sizes in cm. We turn them into pixels at the dpi it states and allow ±2% for rounding.

  • File size. The size in KB, kept inside the notice's limits however a KB is counted.

We do not check what the picture shows, such as the background, the face position, the date of a photo or whose signature it is. A portal may check these too, and only the portal can accept or reject your upload. We are not affiliated with Staff Selection Commission: always confirm the numbers on the official notice.

How to fix your file

  1. Choose or drop your JPG, PNG or WebP file (up to 25 MB). It is read on your device.
  2. Press Fix my file. We scale, crop and compress it until it fits the official numbers above.
  3. Download the fixed copy and upload it on the official application portal.
