|---|---|---|
| Signature file | JPG/JPEG, 10–20 KB | Published upload requirement in the linked notices. |
| Dimensions in this source | 6 × 2 cm / 4 × 2 cm conflict | CGL 2026: §9.4–9.6, PDF p.18; Annexure IV, PDF p.71 |
| Photograph | Live capture in the SSC application | An edited photograph from this tool does not replace the application’s live capture step. |

Before uploading: The main application instructions say about 6 × 2 cm, but an appendix says about 4 × 2 cm. We cannot resolve that discrepancy for SSC. Check the active form or seek SSC clarification before submitting; this tool does not certify portal acceptance.

🛡️ 4 Rules to Avoid Signature Rejection for Staff Selection Commission (SSC CGL)
- 1 Open the notice for your exact exam and cycle before selecting a preset.
- 2 Keep every signature stroke visible. Inspect the downloaded JPEG at its actual size.
- 3 For live photo capture, use the SSC application itself. A local webcam test is only practice.
- 4 Check the application preview before submitting. File checks cannot confirm identity, authenticity or acceptance.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (Staff Selection Commission (SSC CGL))
What signature file does the CGL 2026 notice request? ▼
A scanned JPG/JPEG of 10–20 KB. Section 9.6 says about 6 × 2 cm; Annexure IV says about 4 × 2 cm. Confirm the intended dimensions with the active form or SSC.
Why does the CGL source link have 2025 in its filename? ▼
At our review on 20 October 2026, the linked SSC file opens with “Combined Graduate Level Examination, 2026”. We identify the cycle from the document, not its filename.
Do I upload a resized passport photo for CGL? ▼
The cited application instructions use live photo capture. Do not substitute an edited or pre-existing photo for that step.
