Questions about this tool
My photo is under the minimum KB. What do I do?
Keep "Fill up to the minimum KB" on. It adds empty data to the JPG so it reaches the minimum; the picture does not change.
Does SSC need a photo upload?
Our source says SSC captures the photo live during the form, and only the signature is uploaded (10–20 KB). Check your SSC notice.
Is my photo sent anywhere?
No. Cropping and compression run on your device. Nothing is uploaded to us.
My exam is not in the list.
Choose Custom and type the pixel size and KB range from your notice.
Why does the tool show a source link?
Exam rules change. The link shows where each number comes from and the date we checked it, so you can confirm it.
