Photo is taken live in the form

You don't need to upload a photo for SSC CGL. The form takes it with your webcam or phone camera. Here's how to get the live photo right:

Upload sizes

Upload errors and how to fix them

These are the messages the SSC CGL portal shows. Each one has a fix.

Error: Applications with blurred/miniature signatures will be rejected summarily
Fix: This line is in the SSC CGL notice. "Miniature" means the ink is tiny inside a big white image. Crop close to the signature so the ink fills most of the 6×2 cm box; Clean signature does this for you.
Error: File size should be between 10 KB and 20 KB
Fix: A plain signature often saves below 10 KB. Auto-fit raises the quality (and adds invisible padding if needed) to land between 10 and 20 KB.
Error: Invalid file format
Fix: The signature must be JPEG/JPG. Do not upload a PNG screenshot or a PDF scan.
Error: Photograph captured is not as per the instructions
Fix: The live photo was taken with a cap, glasses, a dark room or a face cut off by the frame. Recapture before submitting; you can retake it as many times as needed.

About the SSC CGL upload rules

For SSC CGL you do not upload a photo. The form captures a live photo with your webcam or the mySSC app. The only file most candidates upload is the signature. The 2026 window was 21.05.2026 to 22.06.2026, so the next one is likely around May–June.

The signature, exactly

  • JPG/JPEG, 10–20 KB.
  • About 6.0 cm wide × 2.0 cm high. At 200 DPI that is about 472×157 px, which is what SahiSize makes.
  • Black ink on white paper, clear, not blurred, not tiny.

SSC’s own wording is that applications with “blurred/miniature signatures” are rejected summarily. A miniature signature is a small squiggle in the middle of a large white image. The fix is a tight crop so the ink fills the box.

Five minutes to a clean signature

  1. Sign on plain white paper with a black gel or ink pen, a bit larger than usual.
  2. Photograph it flat in daylight. Keep the phone parallel to the paper.
  3. In SahiSize, crop close to the ink. The crop box is locked to the 3:1 shape.
  4. Leave Clean signature on. It turns the paper pure white and darkens the ink.
  5. Auto-fit lands the file between 10 and 20 KB. A plain signature often saves below 10 KB on its own; Auto-fit fixes that too.

Getting the live photo right

Find good light and a plain background, keep the camera at eye level, sit straight in front of it, keep your whole face inside the frame, and remove cap, mask and spectacles. Never point the camera at an old printed photo; SSC rejects such forms.

6.0 cm or 4.0 cm?

The main instructions say about 6.0×2.0 cm. One annexure of the notice says about 4.0×2.0 cm. Both say “about” and the KB range is identical, so the 6.0×2.0 cm file is the safe choice.

If it still fails

If the upload is refused, check the file type first (JPG only), then the KB range. If you chose Aadhaar-based authentication, SSC says the form will not be rejected for photo or signature quality, but you still need a valid signature upload.

SSC CGL size FAQ

Do I need to upload a photo for SSC CGL?

No. The photo is taken live in the form with your webcam or the mySSC app. Do not point the camera at an old printed photo; SSC rejects such forms.

What is the signature size for SSC CGL?

About 6.0 cm wide × 2.0 cm high, 10–20 KB, JPG. In pixels that is about 472×157 at 200 DPI; SahiSize makes exactly that.

Is it 6.0×2.0 cm or 4.0×2.0 cm?

The main instructions (para 9.6) say about 6.0×2.0 cm; one annexure says about 4.0×2.0 cm. Both say "about" and the portal checks KB, so 6.0×2.0 cm is the safe choice.

What if I use Aadhaar authentication for SSC CGL?

SSC says forms submitted through Aadhaar-based authentication are not rejected for photo or signature quality. You still need to upload a signature, so make it right anyway.

Can I wear spectacles in the SSC CGL live photo?

No. The notice says no cap, mask or glasses/spectacles while capturing. Take them off for the photo, and appear at the exam looking like the photo.

Which documents do I upload for SSC CGL?

Only the signature for most candidates. PwBD candidates who want reservation or a scribe also upload the Certificate of Disability; the form shows its size limit, and our PDF tool can bring a scan under it.
