How exact-KB compression works
This adjusts JPG/WEBP quality and, if needed, slightly reduces pixel dimensions until the file lands just under your target — typically with a small safety margin so a strict portal doesn't reject it for being a byte over. The compression runs on a background thread when your browser supports it, so the page stays responsive even on a large photo. Your file is never sent to a server — everything happens on your device.
About SSC's photo & signature rules
SSC runs CGL, CHSL, MTS and several other recruitment exams, and uses broadly the same photo and signature rules across most of them: a recent passport-style photo and a signature on plain white paper, both saved as JPG and kept within fairly tight size limits.
Common mistakeUploading a signature scanned at high resolution straight from a phone. These often land well above 50 KB before compression, and applicants run out of time fixing it close to the deadline.
