SSC Stenographer Grade C & D 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 Stenographer'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.
Keep a copy of the exact file you uploaded until your application is confirmed, in case you need to resubmit it elsewhere in the same form. Everything runs in your browser using Canvas and WebAssembly — your photo is never uploaded anywhere, including to this site.
Common reasons a SSC Stenographer 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 Stenographer 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.
Shadows or uneven lighting make part of the face or signature hard to make out. 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 Stenographer 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.
