Frequently Asked Questions
What is the SSC CGL photo size for 2026?
SSC CGL, CHSL, MTS, and GD require a photo of 100×120 pixels in JPEG format, between 20 KB and 50 KB. Plain white background is required. The SSC portal automatically rejects files above 50 KB.
Why does SSC require such a small pixel size (100×120)?
SSC portal uses a legacy upload system that expects small file sizes. Uploading a larger photo (like 413×531 pixels) will result in an error even if the file size is within range. You must match both the pixel dimensions AND the KB limit.
Can I use the same SSC photo for all SSC exams?
Yes, the photo specifications are the same across SSC CGL, CHSL, MTS, CPO, and GD — 100×120 px, 20–50 KB, JPEG, white background. However, always check the specific notification PDF before applying.
My SSC photo keeps getting rejected — what is wrong?
The most common cause is file size above 50 KB. Even if the pixels are correct, the portal rejects it. Use the size slider on this tool to reduce the file to 30–45 KB, which gives you a safe margin.
What photo size does SSC GD require?
SSC GD Constable requires the same photo specifications as SSC CGL: 100×120 pixels, JPEG, 20–50 KB, plain white background. Select the SSC preset on this tool to generate a GD-compliant photo.
