Automatically centre-cropped and resized to 413×531pxPhoto and signature are usually separate uploads
SSC applications almost always ask for the photo and signature as two separate files, each with their own size limit — this tool handles the photo. For the signature, our 20KB compressor matches the tight limit most SSC signature uploads specify; always confirm the exact numbers in your specific exam notification since they can change year to year.
How to use SSC Photo Resizer
- Upload your photo, then set the target size, ratio, or preset this page asks for.
- The tool centres and crops (or resizes) your photo automatically to match.
- Review the result in the preview panel — adjust the settings again if it needs a tweak.
- Download the finished file once it looks right.
Tips for best results
- Use a photo where your subject is roughly centred — automatic cropping trims evenly from the edges, so an off-centre subject can get cut.
- For anything going to print, 300 DPI is the safest default unless your form says otherwise.
- If a form specifies both a physical size and a file-size limit, resize first, then compress the result to hit both requirements.
❓ Frequently asked questions
Can I undo a resize after downloading?
Downloading doesn't change your original file — keep it if you want to try a different size later.
Does this work with PNG and WEBP files too, not just JPG?
Yes — you can upload any common image format; the result downloads as a JPG unless the tool says otherwise.
Do I need to upload the signature separately?
Yes — SSC forms almost always require photo and signature as two separate uploads with different size limits; see our 20KB tool for the signature.
What file size limit does the photo usually have?
This varies by notification, but 50KB and 100KB are common — check our matching compressors for whichever your form specifies.
Can I merge them into one file if the form asks for that?
Some forms want them combined — use our merge tool for that specific case.
