SSC Central Police Organisation (Sub-Inspector) Examination — resize your photo, signature, and documents to the exact size required. Nothing is ever uploaded.

| Photo | 3.5 × 4.5 cm | 20-50 KB | JPG |
| Signature | 6 × 2 cm | 10-20 KB | JPG |
Also need to: compress a PDF to a size limit or make a passport-style photo?
SSC Central Police Organisation (Sub-Inspector) Examination applicants need their photo and signature to match the portal's exact upload requirements — currently photo, signature, each with its own pixel size and file-size window. SSC exams validate uploaded photos and signatures automatically during form submission — an image outside the exact size or dimension gets rejected on the spot, before a human ever sees it, so getting the numbers exactly right the first time saves a frustrating re-upload cycle.
This page pre-loads SSC CPO's own spec into the resizer below, one tab per required item, so you can upload a photo, crop it to the correct ratio, and compress it into the required KB range without looking up a single number yourself.
SSC exams validate uploaded photos and signatures automatically during form submission — an image outside the exact size or dimension gets rejected on the spot, before a human ever sees it, so getting the numbers exactly right the first time saves a frustrating re-upload cycle. Entering the target pixel size and KB range once, instead of fighting with an image editor's percentage-based "save for web" slider, is what actually gets a file to land inside a specific window on the first try.
The resizer binary-searches JPEG quality first (the gentlest way to shrink a file) and only reduces the actual pixel dimensions if quality alone can't fit under the maximum — so a photo doesn't get visibly softer than it needs to be just to hit a byte count.
If the portal asks for a specific DPI and you're not sure what that means, 300 DPI (the print-industry default) satisfies almost every form that specifies one. Everything runs in your browser using Canvas and WebAssembly — your photo is never uploaded anywhere, including to this site.
Common reasons a SSC CPO photo or signature gets rejected:
As loaded in this tool (not yet independently verified against the latest official notification): photo at 3.5×4.5cm (20-50 KB), signature at 6×2cm (10-20 KB). Always cross-check this against the current SSC CPO notification before submitting, since specs can change between recruitment cycles.
No. Cropping, background removal, and compression all run locally in your browser — your photo is never sent to a server, including ours.
The photo is more than a few months old, or taken in different lighting/clothing than what the portal's guidance expects. This tool's crop-and-compress flow is built specifically to avoid that.
A clear photo works fine — sign in dark ink on plain white paper, photograph it in good light, then use this tool's background removal and auto-trim to clean it up into a proper signature file.
Always check the official SSC CPO notification directly at https://ssc.nic.in before submitting — specs in this tool are a starting point, not a guarantee they match the current cycle.
