The Staff Selection Commission runs CGL, CHSL, MTS, GD, CPO, Stenographer and other exams through one registration. The photo rules below are what recent notices and SSC instructions have used. Your exam’s notice on ssc.gov.in is always final, so check it before you apply; rules change.
| Rule | Common requirement |
|---|---|
| Format | JPG / JPEG |
| File size | 20–50 KB |
| Dimensions | About 3.5 cm × 4.5 cm (this page: 275 × 354 px at 200 dpi) |
| Background | Plain, white or light |
| Face | Front-facing, eyes open, no cap or sunglasses |
| Recency | Recent photo; no older than the date your notice gives |
| Live photo | Recent applications also capture a live photo that must match |
How to do it here
- SSC photo 3.5×4.5 cm ≤ 50 KB is set: exactly 275 × 354 px, under 50 KB, JPG.
- Drop your photo. Drag the bright box so your face is centred, with a little space above the head and your shoulders just visible.
- Hit Repixel it ✨. The badge confirms exactly 275 × 354 px and the bytes against 50,000. Download and upload.
Why SSC photos get rejected
- Busy or dark background. A bedroom wall with shadows often fails. White background fixes that on your device.
- Face too small. Selfies taken at arm’s length leave lots of space. Crop tighter.
- Wrong file type. iPhone HEIC or PNG files fail even when the size is right; this page saves JPG.
- Mismatch with the live photo. Use a recent photo that looks like you today: same glasses policy, similar hairstyle.
- File re-compressed on WhatsApp. Transfer the file as a Document, not a photo.
Your signature too
SSC also asks for a signature of 10–20 KB. Use SSC signature resize, which sets the size and KB together. Everything stays on your device; nothing is uploaded to us.
The SSC rules on this page were last checked on 5 November 2026. If your notice shows different numbers, type them in KB size and the optional exact pixels boxes under KB size; the studio will still check the result to the byte.
Check the file before you submit
After downloading, open the file’s details on your phone or computer (on Windows: right-click → Properties → Details; on Android: the file manager’s info button; on iPhone: the Files app’s info). You should see the same pixel size and a file size matching the badge. Then use the portal’s preview step: if the photo looks stretched or cut off there, go back, adjust the crop box and run again. Keep the downloaded file safe, because many portals ask for the same photo again at later stages, and your admit card will carry it.

FAQ fr
What is the SSC photo size?
Recent SSC notices have asked for a JPG photo of about 3.5×4.5 cm, 20–50 KB. This page makes 275×354 px (3.5×4.5 cm at 200 dpi) under 50 KB. Always check your exam's notice.
Does SSC still need a photo upload if it takes a live photo?
Recent SSC applications also capture a live photo with your webcam or phone camera. Keep a correctly sized photo ready anyway: some steps and other exams still ask for an upload, and the live photo must match it.
What background should the SSC photo have?
Plain white or light background, face clearly visible, no cap or sunglasses. Use White background if yours is busy.
My photo is under 20 KB. Is that a problem?
If your notice says 20–50 KB, yes. We aim just under 50 KB, so normal photos land in range. A very plain image can be smaller; try a slightly larger pixel size.
