What is SSC Photo Tool?
The SSC Photo Tool is an online utility designed specifically for candidates applying for Staff Selection Commission (SSC) examinations such as SSC CGL, CHSL, MTS, GD, JE, and Stenographer. This tool helps candidates resize their passport-size photo, apply a white background, add the mandatory Date of Photo (DOP), and compress the image within SSC’s strict 20–50 KB limit.
Why SSC Rejects Photos?
SSC uses automated systems to validate uploaded images. Applications are rejected due to incorrect photo size, missing Date of Photo, dark background, blurry face, or file size exceeding limits. Using a dedicated SSC photo tool eliminates these issues.
SSC Passport Size Photo Requirements
- Photo size: 35 mm × 45 mm
- Pixel size: 413 × 531 px
- File size: 20 KB – 50 KB
- Background: Plain white
- Date of Photo must be printed
Date of Photo (DOP) vs Date of Birth (DOB)
SSC clearly mentions that the Date of Photo (DOP) must be printed on the photograph. Many candidates mistakenly add DOB instead, leading to rejection. This SSC photo tool allows you to choose between DOP and DOB using a dropdown.

Auto White Background
SSC requires a plain white background. Mobile photos often have grey or blue backgrounds, causing rejection. This tool automatically fills the background with pure white.
Face Detection Auto Crop
The built-in face detection feature ensures that your face is properly centered and occupies the correct area of the photo, as required by SSC guidelines.
KB Warning Indicator
A real-time KB indicator shows whether your photo is safe, borderline, or risky according to SSC upload rules.

Yes. The entire tool works client-side. Your image is never uploaded to any server.
