SSC Signature Size & Dimension Specifications
Staff Selection Commission (SSC) portals enforce strict validations on signature uploads. The registration form will immediately throw a size error if the signature image exceeds 20KB or is less than 10KB. Our offline resizer helps candidates crop, scale, and compress their signature signature image to the exact range without losing readability.
| Parameter | Official Requirement |
|---|---|
| Signature Size | 10 KB to 20 KB (JPEG / JPG format) |
| Dimensions | 4.0 cm (width) x 2.0 cm (height) or 400 x 200 Pixels |
| Signature Ink | Black ink on plain white paper is highly recommended. Avoid ruled paper. |
Tips for Capturing the Perfect Signature Image
- Use a clean, unruled sheet of plain white A4 paper. Do not sign on notebook lines.
- Sign clearly using a dark black gel or ballpoint pen. Blue ink is accepted but black ink gets scanned cleaner.
- Take the photo in bright daylight without phone shadow falling on the paper.
- Crop the signature closely before resizing to avoid extra empty margin around it.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What happens if my signature size is less than 10KB?
The SSC registration system will reject the file and display an error. You must resize the signature to be between 10KB and 20KB.
Q: Should I sign in black or blue ink?
SSC advises using a signature done with a black ink pen on white paper for better visibility and contrast during digitizing.
