SSC GD Constable Photo & Signature Size 2026
The SSC GD Constable photo must be 20–50 KB and the signature 10–20 KB, both in JPG format. The signature must be in running hand — never capital letters. During registration, SSC captures a live photo via webcam, so this tool is mainly for your signature and for a passport photo at verification stages. Use it free below, right in your browser.
Exam specifications change between cycles. Always confirm the exact photo and signature requirements in your official notification PDF before you submit. This tool prepares your file; it can't guarantee acceptance.

Why SSC GD trips people up
The surprise for most candidates is the live photo: SSC GD 2026 captures your photograph through a webcam or the mySSC app during OTR, so the old habit of uploading a saved gallery photo does not apply. If you hit a "camera not detected" error on a PC, the official mySSC app on your phone completes the step.
The other trap is the signature. It must be in running hand — block capitals are rejected — and squeezed into just 10–20 KB. Sign in black or blue ink on plain white paper, scan it clearly, then compress. The tool above lands it in range without guesswork.
Top reasons SSC GD images get rejected
Signature in capital letters. SSC requires running hand. Block capitals are rejected outright.
Wrong file size. Photo outside 20–50 KB or signature outside 10–20 KB is rejected. The tool above fixes this automatically.
Old or gallery photo. The OTR photo must be captured live — a pre-existing photo will not be accepted for that step.
Cap, mask, or spectacles. The photo must show a clear face with both ears visible and a plain background.
Wrong format. Only JPG/JPEG is accepted. PNG and PDF fail.

The SSC GD signature must be in JPG/JPEG format, between 10 KB and 20 KB, signed in running hand with black or blue ink on white paper. It must not be in capital letters, and it should be clear and legible.
Does SSC GD use a live photo or an uploaded one?
For SSC GD 2026, the application captures a live photograph via webcam or the mySSC app during OTR, so you cannot upload a pre-existing gallery photo for that step. Take it in good light, plain background, with no cap, mask, or spectacles and both ears visible. You still need a compliant passport photo and a scanned signature for document verification and later stages — that is what this tool helps you prepare.
Why does my SSC GD signature keep getting rejected?
The most common reasons are a signature in block capitals (SSC requires running hand), the wrong file size (it must be 10–20 KB), a blurred or pixelated scan, or the wrong format. Sign in black or blue ink on plain white paper and scan it clearly.
What format does SSC GD accept?
Only JPG/JPEG is accepted for both the photograph and the signature. PNG, PDF, and other formats are rejected by the SSC portal.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. This tool runs entirely inside your browser. Your photo and signature never leave your device, so nothing is uploaded anywhere.
