SSC 2026: you upload a signature, not a photo.
The photograph is captured live during the application. The file you still have to prepare is the signature — JPG, 10–20KB. This page is built around that single upload.
Step 3 — Check, then download

What changed for SSC in 2026
Recent SSC notices moved the photograph to a live capture step inside the application form: the portal opens the camera and stores the image itself. That removes the old “200×230px, 20–50KB” photo upload for current cycles.
If you are filling an older form, or you need a passport-style photo for another purpose, the legacy photo path still applies — use the image presets on the main compressor.
What you still upload: the signature
| Attribute | SSC requirement |
|---|---|
| Format | JPG |
| File size | 10–20KB |
| Physical size | Roughly 4.0 × 2.0 cm |
| Style | Running hand, black ink, white paper — not block capitals |
Always re-read the current notice before submitting; SSC has changed upload rules more than once in recent cycles.
Last reviewed: 17 October 2026. SSC changes upload rules between cycles. The authoritative source is the notice attached to your exam on ssc.gov.in — check it before submitting.
