SSC GD Constable Photo & Signature Size
The exact photo and signature limits for the SSC GD Constable form, including the wider 6 x 2 cm signature that catches most applicants out.
SSC GD asks for a photo of 20-50 KB at 3.5 x 4.5 cm and a signature of 10-20 KB at 6.0 x 2.0 cm, both JPEG. Note the signature box is wider than the usual exam format. Set both sizes in PhotoResizer and download upload-ready files before the portal opens.

Why SSC GD photo and signature uploads get rejected
The signature is the usual failure. SSC GD specifies a 6.0 x 2.0 cm signature, roughly three times wider than tall, while most other exam forms use about 3.5 x 1.5 cm - so a signature cropped for an IBPS or UPSC form is the wrong aspect ratio here and gets squashed or rejected. The other frequent causes are a photograph older than three months, a coloured or patterned background, and a signature written in block capitals.

Frequently asked questions
What is the photo size for SSC GD Constable?
A recent colour photograph in JPEG between 20 KB and 50 KB, at 3.5 cm x 4.5 cm, on a plain light background, taken no more than three months before you apply.
What is the SSC GD signature size?
A JPEG between 10 KB and 20 KB at 6.0 cm x 2.0 cm, signed in black ink on plain white unruled paper. This is wider than the signature box most other exams use.
When does the SSC GD 2027 notification come out?
The SSC calendar lists the SSC GD Constable notification for 30 September 2026, with applications open through October 2026 and the exam in January-February 2027. Prepare your photo and signature before the window opens so the form does not time out.
Can I reuse my SSC CGL photo for SSC GD?
The photograph usually transfers because both use 3.5 x 4.5 cm at 20-50 KB, but the signature does not - SSC GD uses a wider 6.0 x 2.0 cm signature. Re-crop the signature to the correct ratio before uploading.
Why does SSC GD reject my signature?
Most often the aspect ratio is wrong, the file is outside 10-20 KB, or the signature is written in capital letters. Sign in running hand in black ink on plain white paper, then resize to 6 x 2 cm.
Is the SSC GD photo resizer free?
Yes - free, no sign-up, no watermark, and private, because the resizing happens entirely in your browser.
