Complete Guide to SSC Signature Requirements
Understanding SSC Signature Specifications
The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has strict requirements for signature uploads in all their online applications. Whether you're applying for SSC CGL, CHSL, MTS, or any other SSC examination, your signature must meet exact specifications: 6.0 cm × 2.0 cm dimensions, 10-20 KB file size, and JPEG format.
📋 Official SSC Signature Requirements
File Format: JPEG only (.jpg or .jpeg)
File Size: Between 10 KB and 20 KB
Background: White or transparent
DPI: 300 DPI recommended
DPI Settings and Quality Optimization
DPI (Dots Per Inch) is crucial for achieving the right balance between image quality and file size. Our SSC signature resizer provides preset DPI options:
| DPI Setting | Pixel Dimensions | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| 96 DPI | 227 × 76 pixels | Smaller file sizes |
| 300 DPI ⭐ | 709 × 236 pixels | Recommended for SSC |
| 600 DPI | 1417 × 472 pixels | Maximum quality |
Step-by-Step Usage Guide
- Upload Your Signature: Click the upload area or drag and drop your signature image
- Crop the Signature: Adjust the crop area to focus only on your signature
- Set Quality: Use the quality slider to control file size (lower quality = smaller file)
- Check File Size: Ensure the indicator shows green (10-20KB range)
- Download: Click download to save your SSC-compliant signature
Troubleshooting Common Issues
File Size Too Large (>20KB)
- Reduce JPEG quality using the slider
- Crop tighter to remove extra white space
- Try using 200 DPI instead of 300 DPI
File Size Too Small (<10KB)
- Increase JPEG quality using the slider
- Use 300 DPI or higher
- Ensure signature has good contrast
