SSC Photo Size Maker
The SSC one-time registration portal turns away photos that miss its size rules, and you find out only after the upload fails. A camera photo is usually far too large and the wrong shape for the form.

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 is and what it expects
The Staff Selection Commission recruits for posts across central government departments through exams like the CGL, CHSL, and MTS. Candidates register once on the SSC portal and reuse that profile, including the uploaded photo, across exams.
A photo around 200x230 pixels with a file size between roughly 20 and 50 KB is commonly mentioned for SSC uploads. These figures vary by exam and by year, so treat them as a starting point only.
Check the photograph rules in the current official SSC notice before submitting. SSC has also asked candidates to show the photo date and sometimes hold a placard, so the exact requirement matters.
Hit the SSC spec cleanly
Set the dimensions first, then squeeze the bytes. Resize to exact pixels to reach 200x230, then compress to a KB size so a heavy file drops into the allowed window.
Because SSC often uses a tight range, a file that is too small can also be refused. If yours falls under the floor, increase a too-small file so it clears the minimum the notice lists.
Save the result as JPG and shoot against a plain white wall. The tool resizes and compresses only, so it cannot replace a coloured background for you.
