Always check the latest official instructions before final submission. This guide helps with preparation, but the official portal rules come first.

Quick answer

SSC-style forms often ask for a recent photo and a separate signature image. Use the exact pixel size, format and KB limit shown on your application form, then check the final files before upload.

Common SSC upload requirements

SSC portals commonly validate the image format, dimensions, file size and clarity. A file can look correct in your gallery but still fail if the KB size or pixel dimensions do not match the current form instructions.

Prepare the photo and signature separately. Keep the original files, then create resized copies for upload so you can retry without losing quality.

Photo preparation checklist

  • Use a clear recent photo with the face visible.
  • Crop extra background while keeping the head and shoulders natural.
  • Avoid heavy filters, shadows and tilted photos.
  • Save the final upload copy in the format requested by the form, commonly JPG or JPEG.
  • Check the official width, height and KB limit before final submission.

Signature preparation checklist

  • Sign clearly on plain white paper using a dark pen.
  • Crop extra white space but do not cut any stroke.
  • Keep the signature readable after compression.
  • Avoid faint, grey or shaky photos of the signature.
  • Prepare a separate signature file instead of cropping it from another document.

Common rejection reasons

  • Photo is dark or blurry.
  • Too much background makes the face too small.
  • File is above or below the allowed KB range.
  • Signature is faint, over-compressed or unreadable.
  • Image is stretched because width and height were forced without preserving clarity.
