Frequently asked questions

What is the SSC photo size?

276 × 354 pixels, between 20–50 KB, in JPG format. Print size 3.5 × 4.5 cm. Check the current SSC notification before you submit, because sizes can change each year.

How do I reduce my SSC photo to 50 KB?

Add the photo above, adjust the frame and download. PixFit sets the pixels and finds the JPG quality that lands inside 20–50 KB.

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. Resizing and compression happen in your browser. The file stays on your phone or computer.

Why does the SSC portal reject my photo?

Usually the file is above 50 KB or below 20 KB, the pixels are wrong, or it is not a JPG. PixFit fixes all three and shows a green ACCEPTED stamp when the file is inside the range.

What if the official size changes?

PixFit re-checks SSC notifications and shows the last verified date on this page. If your notification differs, use Resize image and enter its numbers.
