SSC MTS photo is captured live
SSC's recent notices say the photograph is taken live through the online application or the mySSC app, so you may not need to upload a photo file. The signature is still uploaded — use the Signature step below. If your form does ask for a photo upload, the photo specs above apply. Check the official SSC notice board.

What the SSC MTS size rules mean
- The SSC MTS photo is a portrait (5:6), 1.20 times taller than it is wide at 200×240 pixels.
- Its 50KB photo limit is stricter than the typical 60KB across the 14 central government exams on KbSnap (7 of 14 allow a larger file).
- The signature box is a wide box (3:1), 3 times wider than it is tall at 708×236 pixels, 10–20KB.
Tips for this spec
- The photo must be at least 20KB as well as at most 50KB. A file that is too small is rejected too, so check both numbers in the result before you download.
- The signature box is very wide. Sign on one line and crop tightly above and below the ink so it fills the frame.
Same photo and signature spec: SSC CHSL, SSC GD. If you are applying to these too, files made here should also fit — but confirm each notification, since specs change between cycles.
Verify the current requirement on the official SSC MTS website before you upload. Sizes can change with each notification.
Common reasons SSC MTS uploads are rejected
- The application captures your photograph live, and the notice says a photograph you already have must not be used.
- The signature file must be JPEG/JPG between 10KB and 20KB. A file under 10KB is rejected just like one over 20KB, so check both numbers before you upload.
- The signature box is about three times wider than it is tall. Sign on one horizontal line; a tilted or two-line signature gets squeezed and becomes hard to read.

How to resize your SSC MTS documents
- 1. Upload: choose a clear JPG, PNG, or iPhone HEIC photo or scan.
- 2. Crop: frame your face or signature inside the box shown for each document.
- 3. Process: KbSnap resizes to the exact pixels and compresses into the allowed KB range.
- 4. Check and download: confirm the pass/fail result, then upload the file to the SSC MTS portal.

Frequently Asked Questions
What photo size does KbSnap use for SSC MTS?
The KbSnap preset for the SSC MTS photo is 200×240px, 20–50KB, in JPG format. Confirm these numbers in your current notification before you upload, and aim for the middle of the KB range so a re-save does not push the file over the limit.
What signature size does KbSnap use for SSC MTS?
The KbSnap preset for the SSC MTS signature is 708×236px, 10–20KB. Sign on plain white paper in the ink colour your notification asks for (black is the safest choice) and crop tightly so the signature is clearly readable.
How do I reduce my SSC MTS signature to 10–20KB?
Upload your scanned signature in the Signature step above, adjust the crop, and process it. KbSnap resizes it to 708×236px and compresses it into the 10–20KB range, then shows a pass/fail check before you download.
Any special rules for SSC MTS?
The latest SSC MTS notice says the application module captures your photograph live, so a pre-existing photo cannot be used. The signature is uploaded as a JPEG of 10–20KB, about 6.0 cm wide × 2.0 cm high.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. Cropping, resizing, and compression all happen in your browser using the Canvas API. The file never leaves your device.
Why do different exams need different sizes?
Each exam body sets its own portal validation rules independently — there's no shared standard across UPSC, SSC, banking, and state PSCs.
