The photo preset starts at a 20KB maximum; the signature preset starts at 10KB and a 138 × 177 crop. Set a target between 20KB and 50KB or 10KB and 20KB as appropriate for your field. Requirements can change by notice and recruitment cycle; always follow the active SSC instructions.
Specification note: The table is a preparation guide, not a claim that one specification applies to every SSC vacancy. Confirm photo size, dimensions, format, signature rules and background requirements in the current official notice before submitting.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the SSC portal reject my photo?
The size, pixel dimensions, format, image quality or framing may not match the current application's rules. Check its validation message and active notice.
How can I resize an SSC signature under 10KB?
Use the signature preset, which starts at a 10KB target and 138 × 177 pixels, then confirm that the limit and dimensions match your form. Adjust if necessary and keep the strokes clear.
Are my images uploaded?
No. Image processing occurs locally in your browser and selected images are not sent to ImgCon's image-processing server.
Can I use the same file for every SSC exam?
Not necessarily. Requirements may vary by exam, recruitment cycle and upload field. Check the current instructions each time.
