SSC Photo & Signature Size: How to Get It Right | Bsbshs
Open the tool →SSC, banking, and railway exam forms have precise photo and signature rules, and getting them wrong means rejection. Here's a clear guide to preparing your photo and signature to the sizes these forms expect.
Typical requirements
Exact numbers vary by exam and year, so always check the official notice, but common ranges are:
- Photo — roughly 20–50 KB, around 100×120 to 350×450 pixels, JPEG, recent, light background.
- Signature — roughly 10–20 KB, around 140×60 pixels, JPEG, signed in black ink on white paper.
Preparing your photo
- Take a recent photo against a plain light wall in even light.
- Crop to head-and-shoulders in the required ratio.
- Resize to the specified pixels.
- Compress to the KB range and save as JPEG.
Preparing your signature
- Sign on white paper with a dark pen.
- Photograph or scan it, then crop tightly to the signature.
- Resize to the required pixels and compress under the KB limit.
Common rejection reasons
Files too large, wrong dimensions, wrong format, a dark or busy background, or a faint signature. Each is fixable: compress to size, resize to the right pixels, convert to JPEG, retake against a plain background, or re-sign with a darker pen.
Keep it private
Your photo and signature are identity documents. Browser-based tools process them on your device, so they're never uploaded before you submit the official form.
Frequently asked questions
What size photo does SSC want?
Commonly around 20–50 KB in a specified pixel range as JPEG — always confirm in the official notification.
How do I make my signature under 20 KB?
Crop tightly, resize to the required pixels, then compress to the target as JPEG.
Why does my upload keep failing?
Usually the size, dimensions, or format is off. Match all three to the spec.
Is it free and private?
Yes — free, no signup, nothing uploaded.
Summary
For SSC and similar exam forms, read the exact photo and signature specs, then crop, resize, and compress to match — in that order, as JPEG. Doing it in your browser keeps your identity documents private while getting every upload accepted.
