Tips for SSC photo upload success

• Get a fresh photo. SSC verifies against your photo at exam centre — old/edited photos cause issues.
• Match dimensions exactly. 200×230 px is the sweet spot; many SSC portals reject if outside 100-200 px width range.
• JPG quality 75-80. Lands at 30-40 KB consistently. Quality below 60 may look pixelated.
• Resize signature separately. SSC needs both photo AND signature uploads — see signature-resize tool.
• Keep backup at 50 KB. If portal rejects at 30 KB (rare), have a 50 KB version ready.
