SSC Photo & Signature FAQs

Frequently asked questions regarding SSC upload specifications and common errors.

Q:What are the required dimensions and file size for SSC photo?
For SSC examinations (CGL, CHSL, MTS, GD), photographs must be 100 pixels in width by 120 pixels in height (~3.5 cm x 4.5 cm), with a file size between 20 KB and 50 KB in JPEG format.
Q:What is the SSC signature size in pixels and KB?
SSC requires signature images to be 140 pixels wide by 60 pixels high (~4.0 cm x 2.0 cm), with a file size strictly between 10 KB and 20 KB in JPEG format.
Q:Can I wear eye glasses in the SSC examination photo?
No! Recent SSC recruitment notifications explicitly state that photographs of candidates wearing spectacles/glasses will be rejected outright, as glare can prevent facial recognition matching.
Q:Why does the SSC portal reject candidate photos so often?
The most common reasons for SSC photo rejection are: wearing spectacles, wearing caps or masks, blurry selfies, background with scenery, and file size smaller than 20 KB or larger than 50 KB.
Q:How do I compress my SSC photo to under 50 KB without losing clarity?
Our tool uses automated iterative compression. It starts with high quality and performs a binary search between 0.05 and 1.0 until the file lands exactly between 20 KB and 50 KB with maximum possible clarity.
