Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Will SSC reject my application if the photo is without Name and Date?▼
Certain SSC notifications (like CGL, CHSL, GD, and MTS) explicitly mandate Candidate Full Name and Date of Photo (DOP) printed at the bottom. Even with live webcam capture on new portals, adding Name and DOP guarantees compliance and eliminates verification disputes.
What are the exact pixel dimensions for SSC photo and signature?▼
The official SSC photo dimensions are 3.5 cm width × 4.5 cm height (413 × 531 pixels at 300 DPI or 100 × 120 pixels). SSC signature must be 4.0 cm × 2.0 cm (140 × 60 pixels) weighted 10KB to 20KB.

Simply upload your mobile camera picture above. Our canvas binary-search engine automatically crops it to 3.5x4.5cm and optimizes file size to ~45KB in 1 click without any quality loss.
