What is the SSC Photo & Signature Resizer?
Government exam forms — SSC, Railway, Bank and UPSC — enforce strict, exam-specific file size limits for your photo and signature. Miss the window by even 1KB and the form rejects the upload. This tool resizes either a photo or a signature scan to the exact KB range for your exam, entirely inside your browser — nothing is uploaded anywhere.
How to Use This Tool
- Upload your photo or scanned signature (JPG, PNG or WEBP).
- Pick the preset matching your exam and upload type (photo or signature).
- Click Resize to Target KB and let the tool do the work.
- Download the resized file, ready to upload to your exam form.
Exam-wise Photo & Signature Size Table
| Exam | Photo | Signature |
|---|---|---|
| SSC (CGL / CHSL / MTS) | 20-50 KB, 3.5×4.5cm | 10-20 KB, 6×2cm |
| Railway (RRB NTPC / Group D) | 20-50 KB, 3.5×4.5cm | 10-20 KB, 6×2cm |
| Bank (IBPS / SBI) | 20-50 KB, 200×230px | 10-20 KB, 140×60px |
| UPSC (CSE) | 20-300 KB | 20-300 KB |
These are commonly published values and can change per notification/cycle — always confirm the exact requirement in your specific exam's official notification before uploading.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Uploading a signature scan with a non-white or shadowed background.
- Using the photo preset's KB range for a signature file (or vice versa) — they're different.
- Submitting a signature that's too light/faint after compression — use a bold pen on white paper.
- Assuming every exam uses the same limits — always check the table above and your notification.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the SSC photo and signature size requirement?
For SSC exams like CGL, CHSL and MTS, the photo is typically 20KB-50KB in JPEG format at roughly 3.5cm x 4.5cm (about 413 x 531px), and the signature is typically 10KB-20KB at roughly 6cm x 2cm (about 140 x 60px) on a white background.
Why was my SSC signature rejected?
The most common reasons are: file size outside the 10-20KB window, PNG format instead of JPEG, or a non-white background. This tool fixes all three automatically.
Do Railway, Bank and UPSC exams use the same size?
Many Railway (RRB) and Bank (IBPS/SBI) exams follow a similar 20-50KB photo / 10-20KB signature pattern, but UPSC typically allows a wider range (commonly cited as 20KB-300KB for both). Always check your specific exam notification — see the comparison table below.
Does this tool upload my photo or signature to a server?
No. Everything is processed locally in your browser using the Canvas API. Nothing is ever uploaded.
Is PhotoResizerKB affiliated with SSC, Railway, IBPS or UPSC?
No. PhotoResizerKB is an independent utility and is not affiliated with the Staff Selection Commission, Railway Recruitment Boards, IBPS, or UPSC. Always verify current requirements in your exam's official notification.
