SSC signature size: resize and compress online
SSC takes your photo live in the application form, so you don't upload one. You only prepare your signature, and the SSC signature size 10 to 20 KB at about 6 × 2 cm is preset below.
✓ No upload✓ No watermark✓ No sign-upRules checked:
Don't photograph an existing photo for the live capture: the notice says that leads to rejection, except for Aadhaar-authenticated applications. Remove any cap, mask and glasses first. We have not read the MTS notice, so check it if you are applying for MTS.
Many Indian forms use 200.
Advanced: minimum size and file DPI
For forms that check the DPI of a JPG or PNG.

Why uploads get rejected
- Wrong format. HEIC photos from an iPhone are often refused. Use the HEIC to JPG converter first.
- File too big or too small. Some portals also reject files under a minimum size. If yours has one, this page raises the quality to reach it. A small JPG that still falls short gets blank padding, which leaves the picture unchanged, and the result tells you when this happens.
- Wrong shape. Drag the crop box so your face is centred instead of stretching the photo.
- Background or clothing. Follow what the notice says about the background, glasses and caps.
- Signature problems. Sign in the ink colour the notice names, on plain white paper, in good light.
