SSC Photo & Signature Size — CGL, CHSL, GD & MTS
The photo and signature specs SSC forms usually ask for, and a free way to hit them exactly on the first upload.
SSC forms typically need a colour photo of 20–50 KB and a signature of 10–20 KB, both in JPEG. Set these in PhotoResizer’s SSC preset and download exam-ready files.

Common reasons SSC uploads get rejected
A photo over the KB limit, a signature that’s too faint, a coloured background, or a photo that’s cropped too tight around the face. PhotoResizer’s SSC preset fixes the size and aspect ratio in one step so the portal accepts it.
