Don't take our word for it — turn off your Wi-Fi. Docexp keeps working. A site that runs with the network off cannot be uploading your files anywhere.

Exact pixel size, an exact KB range — including the minimum, which is what actually gets uploads rejected and which almost every other tool ignores. Plus 115 free tools to merge, compress, and convert PDFs, photos, and documents. All in your browser; nothing is ever uploaded.

The photo and signature rules for the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) — CGL and other online applications, taken from the official notification — and a tool that hits them exactly, in your browser, without uploading your documents anywhere.
| Image | File size | Dimensions | Format |
|---|---|---|---|
| Signature | 10–20 KB | about 6.0 cm (width) x 2.0 cm (height) | JPEG/JPG |

Docexp is an independent website and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the Staff Selection Commission (SSC), Government of India or any other government body. The exam name is used only to identify which exam these rules belong to. This page is a reference to the official notification linked above — if this page and the notification ever disagree, the notification is right.
There is no photo file size for SSC, because there is no photo upload. The photograph is captured live during the application. Any page offering you a "SSC photo resizer" is selling you a step that does not exist.
The part that actually gets people rejected
Search for 'SSC photo size' and you will find a dozen tools promising to resize your photo to 20 KB for SSC. Do not use them. SSC's application module captures your photo live through your webcam or phone — you cannot upload a saved one, and the notice says plainly that applications where a pre-existing photograph was captured (holding up an old photo to the camera) will be rejected. The only image you upload to SSC is your signature.
Our advice (not part of the official spec)
SSC's own guidance says the single biggest reason signatures get rejected is that they are 'miniature' — signed too small inside the box. Sign large enough to fill about 80% of the box before you scan. Then the 10–20 KB range is the easy part: a signature scan usually comes out well under 10 KB, so you are more likely to be under the floor than over the ceiling.
What the notification actually says
“In the online Application Form, candidates are required to capture their live photo through webcam/mobile device and upload.”
“In no case should the candidate capture the photographs of his/her pre-existing photograph.”
“All such applications where the photographs of his/her pre-existing photograph is captured will be rejected.”
“Candidates should not wear a cap, mask or glasses/spectacles while capturing the photo.”
“Candidates are required to upload the scanned signature in JPEG/JPG format (10 to 20 KB).”
“Image dimension of the signature should be about 6.0 cm (width) x 2.0 cm (height).”
“Applications with blurred/miniature signatures, not meeting the above requirements, will be rejected summarily.”
