The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has introduced updated rules for candidates applying to recruitment exams like SSC CGL, CHSL, MTS, and GD Constable. The primary change is the mandatory live webcam photo capture inside the SSC application form. However, signature uploads and certificate uploads still require manual resizing.

SSC Photo Specifications

For portals that still require uploaded passport-size photographs, the official specifications are:

  • Dimensions: 3.5 cm width x 4.5 cm height (354 x 472 pixels).
  • File Size: Between 20 KB and 50 KB.
  • Background: Plain white or light color with clear ear and eye visibility.

Use ToolWala's SSC Photo Resizer to crop your images to these dimensions instantly. If you are uploading signatures, they must be formatted on white paper using black or blue ink under 20KB.
