Frequently Asked Questions
What are the exact photo specifications for SSC CGL, CHSL, MTS, and GD?
For SSC online application forms, the candidate photograph must be in JPG/JPEG format, strictly between 20 KB and 50 KB in file size. The required dimensions are approximately 3.5 cm (width) × 4.5 cm (height) or 100 × 120 px to 350 × 450 px with a clear light/white background and both ears visible.
What are the exact signature specifications for SSC forms?
The candidate signature must be on white paper using black ink in running cursive handwriting (block capital letters are strictly rejected). The file size must be between 10 KB and 20 KB in JPG/JPEG format, with dimensions of approximately 4.0 cm (width) × 2.0 cm (height).
Why does the SSC portal reject files that are 19 KB or 51 KB?
The Staff Selection Commission portal uses an automated file validator with strict programmatic size boundaries. Any file smaller than 20 KB (for photos) or larger than 50 KB causes immediate form upload rejection. This tool uses exact binary scaling to ensure your file falls squarely in the safe zone (e.g. 35–45 KB).
Are my photos and signatures uploaded to your server?
No. All image resizing, dimension cropping, and JPEG compression execute 100% locally in your browser using client-side HTML5 Canvas. Your personal biometric photos and signatures never touch any server.
What should I do if my educational certificate needs to be under 100KB PDF?
The SSC portal requires category, 10th marksheet, and educational documents in PDF format between 100KB and 300KB. Use our dedicated "Compress PDF to 100KB" tool to compress your certificate PDF without losing seal or text clarity.
