Total Privacy — We Don't Save It Anywhere (0 Uploads Policy)
Your photo is never uploaded in the first place. The entire compression process — decoding, analyzing, re-encoding, checking the file size — happens locally, inside your own browser, on your own device. There's no upload step to intercept, no server log to worry about, no brief window where your file exists somewhere outside your control. We don't delete your file afterward because we never received it to begin with. If you want to verify this yourself, turn off your WiFi right after this page finishes loading — the tool will still work perfectly, because it never needed an internet connection to compress your photo.

About the SSC CGL Photo Resizer
SSC (Staff Selection Commission) exams — CGL, CHSL, MTS, GD Constable, and others — are among the most heavily applied-to competitive exams in India, with registration windows that see enormous volumes of applicants submitting within days of each other. Every application requires a passport-sized photograph that meets specific file size and pixel dimension requirements. Getting this wrong is one of the most common, entirely avoidable reasons an SSC application gets flagged during the automated registration check — often with no opportunity to fix and resubmit before the window closes.
This tool resizes and compresses your photo to the correct SSC specification automatically, so you can be confident it meets the requirement before you submit, rather than hoping it does.
SSC Photo Requirements
Format: JPEG / JPG Only
SSC application portals accept only JPEG/JPG format for photos. If you have a PNG or other format file, this tool converts it automatically.
File Size: 20 KB to 50 KB
Your photo must be between 20KB and 50KB. Files smaller than 20KB may appear blurry, while files larger than 50KB will be rejected by the portal.
Dimensions: 3.5cm × 4.5cm (350 × 450 Pixels)
The SSC photo must be 3.5cm wide × 4.5cm tall, which translates to 350 × 450 pixels at standard resolution. Choose between centimeters or pixels below — both produce the same result.
Step-by-Step: Resizing Your Photo for SSC
- 1Take a passport-style photo. White or light background, no spectacles or caps, recent photo as per SSC notification.
- 2Upload it here. Choose whether you prefer to see dimensions in centimeters (3.5×4.5cm) or pixels (350×450px) — both produce the same result.
- 3Automatic resizing and compression. The tool applies the correct dimensions and compresses to your target KB size in one step.
- 4Download and submit. Your photo file is ready, correctly sized for SSC's application portal.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size does my SSC photo need to be?
SSC requires photos in JPEG format, between 20KB and 50KB, with dimensions of 3.5cm × 4.5cm (350 × 450 pixels). Always verify against your specific exam's current notification.
What's the difference between CM and PX presets?
Both presets produce the exact same output — 350 × 450 pixels. The CM preset shows dimensions as 3.5×4.5cm, while the PX preset shows them as 350×450px. Choose whichever unit you're more comfortable with.
Can I use this tool for SSC CGL, CHSL, MTS, and GD?
Yes — the photo requirements (3.5cm × 4.5cm, 20-50KB, JPEG) are generally consistent across SSC exam types. Upload your photo and this tool handles the rest.
Will my SSC application be rejected if the photo is over 50KB?
Yes — the SSC portal will throw an upload error for files over 50KB or under 20KB. This tool compresses to the exact target range.
Is my photo ever uploaded or stored anywhere during this process?
No — it's processed entirely inside your browser, on your own device, and never transmitted anywhere at any point.
