SSC Exam Photograph Sizer & Compressor
Certain state government portals (like UPSSSC, DSSSB, or state PSCs) require candidates to upload a single image containing both their passport photograph and signature joined vertically. The combined file must also fit under a specific limit (often 50KB or 100KB). Doing this manually in MS Paint can be tedious and prone to distortion. Our Photo & Signature Joiner lets you load both files, adjust spacing and border thickness, compile them vertically, and compress the output image to a target size securely in seconds. The Staff Selection Commission frequently discards applications due to blurry or disproportionately sized applicant photos. By utilizing our specialized SSC formatting tool, you can effortlessly generate a pristine 3.5cm by 4.5cm portrait that stays cleanly within the mandatory 20 KB to 50 KB byte range.
How to Use Photo & Signature Joiner for SSC
Follow these simple steps to ensure your file meets all requirements for SSC.
Upload Photo & Signature - Step 1
Choose your passport photo as the first image and your scanned signature as the second image. Provide a recent color photograph taken against a light-colored or white background without wearing spectacles or caps.
Configure Border & Spacer - Step 2
Adjust the vertical spacing between the photo and signature, and add an optional gray border. Frame your face and neck securely within the 3.5x4.5 cm bounding box to establish correct proportions.
Stitch and Compress - Step 3
Set your target size constraint (e.g., 100KB) and download the vertically combined JPEG. Process the image to ensure the final output file falls precisely between 20 Kilobytes and 50 Kilobytes.
Frequently Asked Questions about SSC
Answers to common questions regarding requirements for SSC.
Which exams require a combined photo and signature?
- Exam boards like UPSSSC, DSSSB, UKPSC, and some state police recruitment portals require photo and signature combined into a single file.
What is the recommended ratio between photo and signature?
- The signature should be placed at the bottom, scaled to the same width as the photo. Our tool handles this automatically so your signature is not stretched.
How does the tool ensure the combined size is under the limit?
- Once stitched, our secure compressor iteratively optimizes the image quality to meet your target limit (e.g., 50KB or 100KB) automatically.
What is the SSC document upload size limit?
- SSC typically limits supporting documents to 500KB per file. Photos must be 20–50KB and signatures 10–20KB in JPEG format.
Why does SSC reject my PDF?
- The most common reasons are: file size over limit, password protection enabled, or the document is not clearly legible after compression.
Can I wear spectacles in my SSC photo?
- No, the SSC strictly bans the use of spectacles, caps, and dark glasses in uploaded photographs.
What are the dimensional constraints?
- The standard size is roughly 3.5 cm in width and 4.5 cm in height, restricted to 20 KB - 50 KB in size.
