SSC Photo Size & Signature: Correct Dimensions for CGL, CHSL, GD & MTS
Get the exact SSC photo size (4.5cm x 3.5cm, 20–50KB JPG) and signature size (4.5cm x 2cm, 10–20KB). Resize free in your browser — no upload, no signup.
SSC requires a recent photograph and a handwritten signature with very specific dimensions for CGL, CHSL, GD, MTS and JE applications. The photo must be 4.5cm x 3.5cm in JPEG format between 20KB and 50KB, with a white or light background. The signature must be 4.5cm x 2cm in JPEG between 10KB and 20KB, in black ink on white paper.
This tool resizes and compresses both automatically to the exact SSC spec. Every pixel value is derived from the official SSC exam portal guidelines.

- Sign in black ink on a blank white sheet, centred, then crop tightly around the ink.
- Keep the original file — SSC sometimes asks for a second photo size in the next stage.
Frequently asked questions
What is the exact SSC photo size in pixels?
At the standard 300 DPI, the SSC photo (4.5cm x 3.5cm) is 531 x 413 pixels. Some SSC portals accept 531x413 at 20–50KB. This tool exports at the DPI you select so the file opens at the exact printed size.
What is the SSC signature size?
The SSC signature must be 4.5cm x 2cm, saved as JPG, between 10KB and 20KB. Use black ink on white paper; the signature area should not touch the box borders.
What should the SSC photo background be?
SSC advises a white or light background. Avoid dark or red backgrounds and dark-coloured clothing. Keep the face fully visible with no shadows and no border frames.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. The tool runs entirely in your browser using canvas and your device's memory, so the photo never leaves your computer.
