Image format and file size
- Input formats: The tool accepts JPG, JPEG, PNG, and WebP signature images.
- Output format: The preset always outputs JPEG, the format listed for SSC CGL signature uploads.
- Dimensions: The locked output is 4.0 × 2.0 cm, which is 472 × 236 pixels at 300 DPI. If your form quotes a pixel size instead, match that value.
- File size: The compressor targets a JPEG under 20 KB. If a stricter cap applies, the dedicated Resize Image to 20 KB tool can bring the file down further while keeping it readable.
- Keep it clear: Sign with a black pen on clean white paper, scan at a good resolution, and avoid smudged or overly small source images.
- Verify before uploading: Read the latest SSC CGL instructions for the current signature size and file-size rules.

How can I resize my signature for SSC CGL?
Sign your name in black ink on plain white paper, scan or photograph it, then upload the image to the tool on this page. The signature preset locks the output to 4.0 × 2.0 cm (472 × 236 pixels at 300 DPI) as a JPEG under 20 KB, so no manual calculation is needed.
How do I reduce the SSC CGL signature file size?
The tool targets a JPEG under 20 KB automatically. For an even smaller file, run the result through the dedicated Resize Image to 20 KB tool. Starting from a clean, well-lit scan gives the best quality at small file sizes.
What image format should I use for an SSC CGL signature?
SSC guidance for CGL applications lists JPEG for signature uploads. This tool accepts JPG, JPEG, PNG, and WebP input files and always outputs JPEG, which is the format the application portal expects.
Can I resize my signature to specific pixels?
Yes. If your application lists a pixel size, use the Custom Image Resizer to enter the exact width and height. This page's preset produces 472 × 236 pixels, which matches 4.0 × 2.0 cm at 300 DPI.
Can I use this tool on my phone?
Yes. The signature resizer works in modern mobile browsers on Android and iOS. Upload a photo of your signed paper from your gallery, and the tool resizes and compresses it in your browser.
Why does my signature become blurry after resizing?
A signature usually looks blurry when the source scan is small, low-resolution, or taken from a photo with poor lighting. Start from the highest-quality scan you have, keep the scan upright, and avoid compressing a tiny image repeatedly.
