SSC signature size: 236 × 79
The frame is already set. Drop an image in and it is scaled to fill 236 × 79 exactly, with the overflow trimmed from the centre instead of the picture being stretched.

Why 236 × 79
236x79 px is what the 2026 ssc.gov.in portal asks for, and it is the number that catches people out: the older SSC forms and most of the guides still circulating say 140x60. The portal states it as 4.0 x 2.0 cm, which at the resolution it expects works out to 236 x 79.
The file must also land between 10 and 20 KB, which is a floor as well as a ceiling. A clean scan of a signature often comes out under 10 KB and is rejected for being too small, in which case scan it again at a higher resolution rather than enlarging it.
What happens to an image that is not 236:79
Three things can be done with a photograph that does not match the frame, and only one of them is usually right.
| Mode | Result | Use when |
|---|---|---|
| Fill exactly | Scaled up until it covers 236×79, then trimmed from the centre. Nothing is distorted; the edges are lost. | Almost always. It is the default here. |
| Fit inside | Scaled until the whole picture fits. You get the full image but smaller than 236×79 on one axis. | Nothing may be cropped, and you will add your own background. |
| Exact (stretch) | Squashed to 236×79. Faces and circles distort. | Practically never. |
The ratio here is 236:79. The closer your source is to it, the less the fill mode has to trim. A photograph shot in the right orientation loses almost nothing.
The weight is a band, not a ceiling
This form wants the file between 10 KB and 20 KB. Both ends are enforced, and a file under 10 KB is rejected exactly like one over 20 KB. That catches people out, because every other tool treats the number as a ceiling and hands back the smallest file it can manage.
Both boxes below are already filled in. Your browser searches for the highest quality that still fits under 20 KB, and if the result comes out under 10 KB it spends the remaining headroom on quality to climb back into the band. A clean scan of a signature sometimes cannot reach the floor at 236×79 whatever the quality, because there is simply not enough detail in it. The row says so when that happens, instead of padding the file with junk to make the number look right. Rescan at a higher resolution, or in colour rather than black and white, and bring it back.
Questions
+ Will my image be stretched?
No. The default mode scales the image until it covers the frame and then trims the overflow from the centre, so proportions are kept. Stretching is available in the mode selector, but it distorts anything recognisable and is almost never what you want.
+ What if my photo is smaller than 236×79?
It is enlarged to fill the frame. Enlarging cannot add detail that was never captured, so the result will be softer than a photograph taken at that size. The frame will be correct, but start from the largest original you have if you can.
+ Are my images uploaded?
No. The resizing happens in your browser on your own processor. Nothing is sent, there is no queue, and the page carries on working if you disconnect from the internet.
+ Can I resize a whole folder at once?
Yes. Drop in as many as you like, or on Chrome and Edge use "Open a folder" to read every image in a folder and write the results straight back into a folder you choose, with no ZIP in between.
+ Is there a watermark or a sign-up?
Neither. There is no account and no watermark, and nothing is capped.
