SSC CHSL photograph and signature

Combined Higher Secondary (10+2) Level Examination, 2025, published by Staff Selection Commission. The source is SSC notice, Combined Higher Secondary (10+2) Level Examination, 2025 (paras 9.4–9.6) (2025-06-23, Date the notice says it is to be uploaded on ssc.gov.in). The tool above makes the JPEG in this browser. It does not upload the file.

Photograph

SSC CHSL photograph

What you upload	Nothing. The form captures the photograph live.
What the notice says	Same rule as the Commission’s other 2025 notices: paragraph 9.4 captures the photograph live. Sit or stand in good light on a plain background, camera at eye level, full face inside the frame, no cap, mask or spectacles. Do not photograph a photograph.

Signature

SSC CHSL signature

Format	JPEG / JPG, as the notice asks. This tool writes a JPEG.
File size	10–20 KB
Pixels	472 × 157 — unverified
How to read the pixels	Paragraph 9.6 says about 6.0 cm (width) × 2.0 cm (height). No pixel size or DPI is printed. 472 × 157 px is 6.0 × 2.0 cm at 200 DPI and is unverified.
Background	Not stated. A plain light background keeps the ink readable.

Common reasons this exam rejects the file

• Photograph of a pre-existing photograph (para 9.5).
• Cap, mask or spectacles while the live photo is captured (para 9.4).
• Face partly outside the frame, or too close or too far (para 9.4).
• Signature outside 10–20 KB or not JPEG/JPG (para 9.6).
• Blurred or miniature signature (para 9.6).
• Aadhaar-authenticated applications are exempt from rejection on these photograph and signature standards (paras 9.5 and 9.6).

Questions people ask about this notice

Is the CHSL photo a file I upload?

No. Paragraph 9.4 of the CHSL 2025 notice says the candidate is not required to have a pre-existing photograph. The form captures one. Prepare only the signature as a file.

What is the CHSL signature file size?

10 KB to 20 KB, JPEG/JPG, about 6.0 cm wide by 2.0 cm high (para 9.6).

Does CHSL use the old 3.5 cm × 4.5 cm photo upload?

Not in this notice. That older upload instruction is not in paragraphs 9.4–9.6. Using it would be a guess, so this page does not offer a CHSL photograph file.

Are CGL and CHSL signature rules the same?

In these two notices, yes: both say JPEG/JPG, 10 to 20 KB, about 6.0 cm × 2.0 cm. Each exam still has its own notice. Do not assume a later CHSL notice copies this one.

From the same notice

• The notice tells candidates to check the preview before submitting, including that the photograph and signature meet paragraphs 9.4–9.6.
• One-time registration on the old ssc.nic.in site does not carry over. Registration is on the new ssc.gov.in site (para 9.2).

Notices are replaced. If the date above is not the exam you are filling, read the current PDF before you upload. A figure marked unverified is a conversion or a gap, not a number the notice printed.
