SSC CGL Signature Size and Resizer

How to use the SSC CGL Signature Size and Resizer

1. Sign on white paper in dark ink, then photograph or scan the page.
2. Choose the picture here. The size opens at 709 × 236 px with a 10 to 20 KB range.
3. Drag the crop box so the signature fills the frame, with only a thin margin.
4. Press Create and read the measured file size. If it is outside 10 to 20 KB, a warning says so.
5. Download the JPG and upload it where the CGL form asks for the signature.

About this tool

Paragraph 9.6 of the SSC Combined Graduate Level Examination, 2026 notice (F. No. HQ-C11018/1/2026-C-1, to be uploaded on 21-05-2026) says to upload the scanned signature in JPEG/JPG format of 10 to 20 KB, with a size of about 6.0 cm (width) by 2.0 cm (height). The same notice says the photograph is captured live, so there is no CGL photograph file to resize.

The notice gives centimetres. Converted at 300 DPI, 6.0 × 2.0 cm is 709 × 236 pixels, which is what this page opens with. A signature that is too small inside the frame, or blurred, can be rejected, so crop tightly and use a sharp scan.

If your signature is still above 20 KB at the lowest quality tried, make the pixel size a little smaller, or sign more boldly so the picture compresses well. If it is under 10 KB, the tool raises quality to reach the minimum, and warns you if it cannot.

Applications from candidates who completed Aadhaar-based authentication are not rejected for photograph or signature standards, per the notice. Otherwise, a signature outside the stated range can lead to rejection.
