SSC Photo Resizer: 100x120 Pixels & Signature (20 KB to 50 KB)

Welcome to the dedicated online tool for SSC (CGL, CHSL, MTS, GD Constable) candidates. The Staff Selection Commission mandates strict image dimensions and file size validation during registration. Uploading pictures outside the official boundaries (Photo: 100 × 120 pixels (~3.5 cm width × 4.5 cm height), 20 KB to 50 KB; Signature: 140 × 60 pixels (~4.0 cm width × 2.0 cm height), 10 KB to 20 KB) triggers automatic rejection by the portal upload validator.

Our tool operates 100% locally in your browser without uploading your biometric photos or signature specimens to any cloud server. It uses HTML5 Canvas to crop images to the precise aspect ratio without facial stretching and intelligently adjusts JPEG compression to land within the official KB range.

Important Tips to Prevent SSC Portal Rejection

  • SSC strictly rejects photographs taken with eye spectacles or sunglasses due to reflection glare.
  • Keep the photo file strictly between 20 KB and 50 KB; outside this range causes immediate upload rejection.
  • Sign within a horizontal rectangular box on white paper and scan without dark shadows.
  • Ensure the aspect ratio matches 100x120 px without squishing or stretching your head.

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.
