SSC CGL is one of the most applied-for central government exams in India, and a large share of applications get stuck at the photo/signature upload step rather than the eligibility criteria. The Staff Selection Commission requires a small, near-passport-style photo between 20KB and 50KB, and a separate signature scan between 10KB and 20KB, both in JPEG format on a plain white background. Note that for recent SSC CGL cycles, candidates capture a live photo directly through the OTR portal during registration — this tool is most useful for preparing your signature scan and for any physical/document verification stage that still needs a standard photo. Use the sliders below to hit your exact target instantly.
