SSC Photo Resizer
The Staff Selection Commission's online application forms (CGL, CHSL, MTS, and others) require a photo of 200×230 pixels, under 50KB — a tighter file-size limit than most other government forms. This page pre-selects the SSC preset so the output fits under 50KB without visible quality loss.
How SSC Photo Resizer works
The SSC preset is selected when you arrive. You upload a photo and the tool crops, pads and scales it to the pixel size shown at the top of the page, then lowers JPEG quality just enough to fit the file-size limit.
Because the SSC limit is tight, source quality matters: a sharp, high-resolution original compresses more cleanly than one that is already small or blurred. All processing is local to your browser.
Benefits of using SSC Photo Resizer on ToolShoppy
- Meets a tight KB limit without trial and error.
- Preset and background are applied for you.
- Private: your photo stays on your device.
- Useful across CGL, CHSL, MTS and other SSC forms, subject to the notification.
ToolShoppy vs server-based image tools and desktop editors
| What matters | ToolShoppy | Server-based image tools | Desktop editors (e.g. Photoshop, GIMP) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where your photo is processed | In your browser. The photo is not uploaded to ToolShoppy. | Uploaded to the provider’s servers, then deleted later under their stated policy. | On your own computer. |
| Account and cost | No signup, no email. Free to use. | Often free with limits on size, batch count or quality; some require an account (varies). | Needs installing and some learning; some editors are paid. |
| Specific to this form | Preset selected on arrival with the spec visible. | Generic tools need you to enter the numbers. | Manual setup. |
This compares general approaches, not every product. Other services change their features, limits and pricing, so check their current terms before deciding.
When something else is the better choice: your original is very low quality and the output looks blurry at the size limit. Retake the photo in better light with a higher-resolution camera, then run it through the tool again.
Tips and common mistakes
- Start with the sharpest, largest photo you have.
- Avoid heavy filters or beauty modes, which add detail that compresses poorly.
- Always check the issuing authority’s current notification before you submit. Specifications change, and the preset is a starting point.
- Check the face at 100 percent zoom after downloading.

Frequently asked questions
What is the exact SSC photo size?
200×230 pixels, under 50KB, on a plain white background.
My photo keeps coming out blurry at 50KB — why?
50KB is a tight limit. The tool automatically balances JPEG quality against file size — very high-resolution source photos compress more cleanly than already-low-quality ones, so start from the clearest original you have.
Does this cover SSC CGL, CHSL and MTS forms?
The 200×230px / 50KB spec is shared across most SSC recruitment forms, but always confirm against your specific notification.
