Frequently asked
Real questions, written for someone applying right now.
What is the exact photo size for SSC CGL?
Per the official 2026 notification: 200×230 pixels (3.5×4.5 cm), JPG format, file size between 20 and 50 KB, with a plain white background. Recent (within 6 months), full-face, looking directly at the camera, no glasses or headwear unless religiously required.
What is the SSC CGL signature size?
140×60 pixels, JPG format, file size between 10 and 20 KB. Sign on plain white paper using black ink, photograph or scan, then upload here. Our signature mode auto-cleans the background and compresses to spec.
My photo is bigger than 200×230 pixels. Will it work?
Yes — we automatically center-crop and resize to exactly 200×230 px. The center of your photo becomes the center of the output, so make sure your face is centered in the original.
Why does SSC reject some photos?
Common reasons: photo not within size range, wrong dimensions, busy background (we recommend plain white), face not clearly visible, glasses with glare, smiling with teeth showing, or wearing headwear. Our tool ensures the technical specs are met — but quality photography is on you.
Is my photo safe?
Your photo never leaves your device. All resizing and compression happens in your browser. Open DevTools → Network tab to see zero outbound file uploads.
