Delhi Police Constable Photo and Signature Upload Guide
Delhi Police Constable application filling is a little different from older SSC forms. Many candidates still search for a fixed Delhi Police Constable photo size, but the latest SSC process captures the candidate's photograph live while filling the online form. That means the bigger risk is not a wrong pixel size; it is a bad live capture: face too close, spectacles on, dark room, old printed photo shown to the camera, or the face outside the marked area. The scanned signature still has a strict upload rule. This guide explains the official live photo instructions, the Delhi Police Constable signature size, and the safest way to prepare the 10KB to 20KB JPG signature before submission.
Delhi Police Constable Photo and Signature Requirements
| Upload Type | Requirement | Format | File Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Photograph | Captured live in SSC form | Camera capture | No pre-existing photo upload |
| Signature | About 6.0 cm x 2.0 cm | JPEG / JPG | 10-20 KB |
| Exam-day photos | Two recent passport-size photos | Printed copy | Carry to venue |
Verified May 2026: The Delhi Police Constable Executive 2025 official notice says the application module captures a real-time photograph. The scanned signature should be JPEG/JPG, 10KB to 20KB, about 6.0 cm x 2.0 cm, horizontally aligned, and not blurred or miniature. Re-check the current SSC notice if a later cycle changes the process.

Open toolHow to Prepare Delhi Police Constable Photo and Signature
Set up the live photo before opening the form
Use a laptop camera or the SSC mobile capture app in a bright place with a plain background. Keep the camera at eye level, sit or stand directly in front of it, and look straight ahead. The face must stay fully inside the marked area. Do not wear cap, mask, spectacles, earphones, or any device. This is not a decorative profile photo; it is an identity check used throughout the recruitment process.
Never capture an old printed photograph
The notice clearly warns candidates not to capture a photograph of a pre-existing photograph. If the image is not acceptable, recapture it. A dark room, side angle, reflection, face too close, or face too far can all create trouble. Your appearance in the exam should match the live photograph in the form, so avoid major changes in hairstyle or facial appearance immediately after applying.
Crop signature to about 6.0 x 2.0 cm
Sign horizontally on plain white paper using a dark pen. Take a clean scan or a steady phone photo in good light. Open the Signature Crop tool, choose the Delhi Police preset, and crop tightly around the signature. The final image should look natural, not stretched, not tiny, and not surrounded by unnecessary blank paper.
Compress signature to 10-20KB JPG
After cropping, check the file size. If it is above 20KB, use Image Compress with the Delhi Police signature preset. If the output drops below 10KB and looks faint, go back to the original scan and crop again. A signature that technically uploads but looks miniature or blurred can still be rejected.
Save application records and exam-day documents
After submission, save the application PDF, fee receipt, registration number, and final signature file. Keep two recent passport-size colour photographs and a valid original photo ID ready for the examination venue. If the ID proof does not show date of birth, carry an additional original certificate for DOB proof as mentioned in the notice.
Common Delhi Police Constable Upload Rejection Reasons
Capturing an old photo
The form expects live capture. Photographing a printed or saved photo is specifically warned against.
Face outside the marked area
Too close, too far, side angle, poor light, cap, spectacles, or mask can make the live photo unacceptable.
Signature above 20KB or below 10KB
Oversized files fail upload, while over-compressed files often become faint or miniature.
Blurred or tilted signature
The signature should be horizontally aligned, readable, and cropped to the proper 6.0 x 2.0 cm shape.
About Delhi Police Constable Application Documents
Delhi Police Constable Executive recruitment is handled through SSC for male and female candidates. The application includes one-time registration details, education details, category and age relaxation claims, ex-serviceman or departmental information where applicable, NCC or sports details if claimed, examination centre preferences, live photograph capture, signature upload, declaration, fee payment, and final preview.
The physical nature of the recruitment makes identity consistency especially important. A clear live photo in the application, a readable signature, correct name, date of birth, category, and qualification details all matter before the candidate reaches computer-based examination, physical endurance and measurement test, document verification, and medical stages. Candidates should keep school certificates, ID proof, category certificates, sports or NCC certificates, and application records arranged from the beginning.
PrepTools is useful because the signature and document preparation stays private. Your signature, ID proof, certificate scans, and saved PDFs are processed in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server just to reduce a file size or merge certificate pages.
Applying through SSC?
Delhi Police uses SSC-style live photo and signature rules. Compare with SSC and Railways before reusing files.
