SSC CHSL Photo and Signature Size Maker

SSC CHSL is the higher-secondary-level exam for clerical and data-entry posts, popular with students fresh out of Class 12. Like the rest of the SSC family, it now photographs you live on the portal, so the only image file you prepare is your scanned signature.

Output is JPG, resized to your pixels and kept at or under the max KB. If a minimum is set, the file is padded up to it. Always confirm the exact rules in the official notification.

What SSC CHSL is and the photo step

The Combined Higher Secondary Level exam recruits Lower Division Clerks, Junior Secretariat Assistants, and Data Entry Operators. It is open at 10+2 level, and the DEO posts add a typing and data-entry skill test later in the process.

On the new SSC portal the application captures your photo live with your camera, so you do not upload or resize a photo file at that stage. Sit in good light, keep a plain background, and leave off any cap or glasses.

The signature is still a scanned file you upload, which is where this tool comes in. Keep the same signature for every CHSL stage so it matches at the exam.

Sizing the CHSL signature

SSC wants the signature as a JPG of about 6 by 2 cm at 10 to 20 KB, in running hand with black ink on white paper, never in block capitals. Sign large enough to fill the box so it survives compression.

Scan the signature, then resize to the signature shape and compress to a KB size to reach 10 to 20 KB. If it ends up too small, increase a too-small file to clear the floor.

If your form is an older one or you want a passport photo ready, the tool is pre-set to a common 200x230 pixel, 20 to 50 KB photo. It only resizes and compresses and cannot change the background.
