Ensure your documents match official Staff Selection Commission requirements perfectly.
JPG or PNG supported
The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) maintains strict rejection criteria for application images. While recent notifications have emphasized "Live Photo" capture for the candidate's face during the application process, candidates are still often required to upload a scanned signature and occasionally a backup passport photograph.
For the Combined Graduate Level (CGL) 2026 exam, the standard digital requirements for uploads remain precise. The signature must be rectangular (approx 4.0 cm width x 2.0 cm height), translating to digital dimensions of 236 x 79 pixels. The file size is strictly capped between 10KB and 20KB. Any file exceeding this limit or falling short will trigger an upload error on the ssc.gov.in portal.
This tool is pre-configured to handle these specific pixel conversions and aggressive compression needs, ensuring your JPG files are "Application Ready" in seconds without needing complex software like Photoshop.
The required dimensions for the passport photo are typically 275 pixels width by 354 pixels height (approximately 3.5 cm x 4.5 cm). The file must be strictly between 20 KB and 50 KB.
The signature must be between 10 KB and 20 KB. The dimensions should be approximately 236 x 79 pixels (4.0 cm x 2.0 cm). Sign with black ink on white paper for the best results.
While the SSC has moved toward live photo capture, if a scanned photo upload is requested, it should not be more than three months old. Adding a printed date at the bottom is a safe practice to prove recency if the notification specifies it.
Signatures are usually rejected for three reasons: the file size is not between 10-20KB, the dimensions are not rectangular (causing stretching), or the background is not plain white. Our tool fixes dimensions and compression automatically.
Yes, the image dimension and file size requirements (20-50KB for photo, 10-20KB for sign) are standard across almost all Staff Selection Commission exams including CHSL, MTS, and CPO SI.
If you upload a very small or low-quality image, resizing it to 275x354 pixels may cause blurriness. For the best results, start with a high-resolution photo taken from a phone or camera.
Yes, according to the latest portal updates, capturing a live photo via webcam/Android app is now the primary method. However, you still need this tool to resize your signature and potentially a backup photo.
