⚠️ Each SSC exam has its own pixel size — SSC portal strictly enforces both dimensions and file size, and a photo even 1 px or 1 KB over the limit will be rejected. Select your exam's preset below — do not manually edit the width/height after selecting it.

💡 Use a clear, well-lit photo with a plain background for the best SSC application results. Proper lighting and a centred face are just as important as meeting the required dimensions.

SSC Photo — Frequently Asked Questions
SSC CGL requires a photograph of 275 × 354 pixels, JPEG format, maximum 50 KB, and a signature of 236 × 79 pixels, maximum 20 KB. The background must be plain white and the face must be clearly visible with no accessories like sunglasses or caps. Steno and Selection Post use the same photo and signature size as CGL.
SSC CHSL requires a photograph of 200 × 240 pixels, max 50 KB, and a signature of 200 × 80 pixels, max 20 KB. Use the SSC CHSL Photo and SSC CHSL Signature presets above — they pre-fill these exact values and auto-name the files.
SSC GD Constable and SSC MTS both require a photograph of 200 × 240 pixels (max 50 KB), a signature of 240 × 80 pixels (max 20 KB), and a left thumb impression of 240 × 240 pixels (max 50 KB). For the thumb impression, ink your left thumb and press it on plain white paper, then photograph it in good light — the tool will resize it to the exact required dimensions without applying face-detection cropping.
No — SSC Steno and SSC Selection Post both use the same specification as CGL: a 275 × 354 px photo (max 50 KB) and a 236 × 79 px signature (max 20 KB). Use the matching preset above for the correct auto-filename for each exam.
For the best results, start with a clear, high-resolution photo taken in good lighting. If the image appears dark or unclear, use the Brightness and Contrast controls before downloading. Make sure the original photo is sharp and properly focused, as resizing cannot restore details that are already blurry.
The SSC portal will reject the upload with an error message like "Invalid file size" or "Invalid dimensions." Your application will remain incomplete until you upload a correctly sized photo. Select your exam's preset above — the tool always outputs a file that exactly matches that exam's required pixel size and KB limit.
SSC does not explicitly prohibit selfies, but requires a passport-style photograph against a plain white background. A self-taken photo is acceptable if taken in front of a white wall with good, even lighting — no shadows on the face or background. Avoid filters. Upload it here and pick your exam's preset to resize it to the exact required pixels before submitting.
