Live photo in the form
SSC also captures a live photo with your webcam or phone while you fill in the form. You don’t prepare a file for it: use good light, a plain background and look straight at the camera.

Common reasons uploads are rejected
- A blurred or miniature signature: SSC names miniature signatures as the main reason for rejection.
- A signature that is not horizontally aligned.
- A live photo taken of an existing photograph instead of you.
- A cap, mask, glasses or spectacles in the live photo, or the face not fully inside the frame.
Check before you upload
- Signature is a JPEG of 10–20 KB.
- It prints at about 6.0 × 2.0 cm: this page writes 200 DPI into the file, so 472 × 157 pixels comes out at that size.
- For the live photo: good light, a plain background, the camera at eye level, no cap, mask or spectacles.
- The notices say applications made with Aadhaar-based authentication are not rejected on these grounds.
What is the SSC signature size in 2026?
A JPEG of 10–20 KB, about 6.0 cm wide and 2.0 cm high (CGL 2026 notice, para 9.6; GD Constable 2026 notice, para 8.7). The annexure of the CGL notice says 4.0 × 2.0 cm; the main instructions and the other 2026 notices say 6.0 × 2.0 cm.
Do I upload a photo for SSC?
No. The application captures your photograph live with a webcam or the mySSC app. Capturing a photo of an existing photograph gets the application rejected.
How many pixels is 6.0 × 2.0 cm?
It depends on the DPI written in the file: 472 × 157 pixels at 200 DPI, or 709 × 236 pixels at 300 DPI. SSC gives the size in centimetres only, so either works.
Are my images uploaded?
No. The conversion runs inside your browser, so your images stay on your device. Files are only uploaded if you choose to optimize them with Arche, and those are deleted within 48 hours.
What is Arche?
Arche makes JPEG, PNG and WebP images smaller without changing their format or pixel size, and strips metadata such as EXIF location. It is free without an account; Pro raises the batch limits.
