SSC Selection Post Photo and Signature Size: Resize to the Exact Limit
For Selection Post Phase-XIV, SSC takes your photo live inside the application form, so you only upload the signature. It has to be a JPEG between 10KB and 20KB. Resize it below in your browser; nothing is uploaded to KbSnap.

SSC Selection Post 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 Selection Post size rules mean
- The SSC Selection Post photo is a portrait with the same shape as a 35×45mm passport photo at 275×354 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
- 50KB is tight for a 275×354 photo. A plain light background and even lighting leave more of the file size for your face, so it stays sharp.
- 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 CGL, SSC Stenographer Grade C & D. 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 Selection Post website before you upload. Sizes can change with each notification.
Common reasons SSC Selection Post uploads are rejected
- The photo is captured live in the application. Remove any cap, mask or spectacles before the capture.
- The signature must be in JPEG format and 10–20KB. A PNG or a file under 10KB is not accepted.
- 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.

- 3. Process: KbSnap resizes to the exact pixels and compresses into the allowed KB range.

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.

Is my photo uploaded to a server?
