The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has specific requirements for the size and dimensions of photographs and signatures when applying for exams like the Combined Higher Secondary Level (CHSL). Using online tools like those found on SarkariTools.org can greatly simplify this process.
Here are the typical requirements for SSC CHSL signatures and how to use SarkariTools.org:

SSC CHSL: Signature 10-50KB, 3.5×1.5cm. Use SarkariTools for resize.

 

SSC CHSL Signature Requirements:

• Dimensions:
  • Centimeters (cm): Usually 4 cm x 2 cm or sometimes 3.5 cm x 1.5 cm. Some sources also mention 4.9 cm x 1.7 cm. It is essential to check the specific advertisement for the exact dimensions.
  • Pixels: Commonly, the required pixel dimensions are 140 pixels wide by 60 pixels high.
• File Size:
  • Between 10 KB and 20 KB. Some sources indicate up to 50 KB for photos, but signatures are generally smaller.
• Format:
  • JPG/JPEG only.
• Content:
  • The signature should be on a plain white paper, signed with black or blue ink.
  • Do not sign in capital letters.
  • Ensure the signature is clear and legible.

Using SarkariTools.org for Resizing:

SarkariTools.org (and similar tools like Pi7 Image Tool, which is often linked or referenced) provides user-friendly interfaces to resize and format your images according to SSC specifications.

General Steps:

1. Visit SarkariTools.org (or a similar SSC image resizing tool): Search for “SSC CHSL Photo and Signature Resizer” or “SSC Signature Resizer” on their website.
2. Upload Your Signature: Click on the upload button and select the image file of your signature from your device.
3. Select Resizing Options:
   • Dimensions: The tool will likely have pre-set options for SSC CHSL, such as 140×60 pixels or 4 cm x 2 cm. If not, you can manually input these values. Some tools allow you to input dimensions in pixels, cm, mm, or inches.
   • File Size: You will typically be able to set a target file size, usually within the 10 KB to 20 KB range.
   • Format: Ensure the output format is set to JPEG.
4. Crop (if necessary): Before or during resizing, you might have an option to crop the image. Ensure your signature is centered and fills the appropriate area without being cut off. Maintain the aspect ratio to avoid distortion.
5. Resize and Compress: Click on the “Resize,” “Generate,” or “Convert” button. The tool will process your image to meet the specified dimensions and file size.
6. Download Your Signature: Once the resizing and compression are complete, download the optimized signature file.
7. Verify: Before uploading to the SSC application form, double-check the dimensions (in pixels) and the file size (in KB) of the downloaded signature to confirm it meets all requirements.

Key Features of these Tools:

• Automatic Resizing: They often automatically adjust to the standard SSC dimensions (e.g., 140×60 pixels or 4.9 cm x 1.7 cm).
• File Compression: They compress the file to the required KB range (10-20 KB) while trying to maintain clarity.
• Format Conversion: They can convert images to JPEG format if they are not already in it.
• User-Friendly Interface: The process is typically straightforward: upload, adjust, and download.

Always refer to the official SSC CHSL examination advertisement for the most accurate and up-to-date requirements, as these can sometimes vary slightly between recruitments.

Specific Sarkari Tools for Signature Compression:

Sarkari Tools also has a dedicated “Signature Resize 10 to 20 KB” tool, which is very useful for compressing signatures to the required small file size while maintaining acceptable dimensions.

Tips for Using SarkariTools:

• Read Instructions Carefully: Always read the specific instructions on the SarkariTools.org website for each tool.
• Preview: Use any preview options available to ensure the image looks correct before downloading.
• Check DPI/Resolution: Some tools might allow you to set the DPI (dots per inch). A common resolution for web uploads is 72 DPI, but for scanning documents for applications, 200 DPI or 300 DPI might be used, which affects pixel dimensions. For applications, it’s often best to rely on pixel dimensions or direct KB limits if provided.
• Maintain Aspect Ratio: When resizing, try to maintain the aspect ratio to avoid distortion. Some tools have an option to lock the aspect ratio.

By using these tools and following the SSC CHSL guidelines closely, you can ensure your photo and signature are uploaded correctly.

To resize your UGC NET photo and signature using Sarkari Tools, you can follow these general steps, as the website itself provides tools for this purpose.

1. Visit Sarkari Tools: Go to the Sarkari Tools website.
2. Locate the Image Resizer Tool: Look for a section or tool specifically named “Image Resizer” or similar. Some results also mention specific tools like “Photo Resizer in KB” or “Signature Resize 10 to 20 KB.”
3. Upload Your Image: You will likely see an option to “Upload Image” or “Select File.” Click this and choose the photograph or signature file from your computer.
4. Set Specifications:
   • For Photograph: The UGC NET exam requires a photograph between 10 KB and 200 KB in file size and typically around 3.5 cm x 4.5 cm in dimensions. You’ll need to input these specifications. Some tools allow you to set dimensions in pixels, cm, mm, or inches.
   • For Signature: For the signature, the file size is generally between 4 KB and 30 KB, and the dimensions are often around 4 cm x 2 cm.
   • Sarkari Tools also provides options to set dimensions by pixel size or in KB. You may find options to directly specify the desired KB range for your photo or signature.
5. Resize and Download: After setting the specifications, click on a button like “Resize Image,” “Generate Image,” or “Download.” The tool will process your image to meet the requirements.
6. Save the Resized File: Download the processed image and save it to your computer.

Important Considerations for UGC NET:

• Photograph:
  • Dimensions: 3.5 cm x 4.5 cm.
  • File Size: 10 KB to 200 KB.
  • Format: JPEG/JPG.
  • Background: Plain white.
  • Content: Passport-style, recent, full face, ears visible, neutral expression.
• Signature:
  • File Size: 4 KB to 30 KB.
  • Format: JPEG/JPG.
  • Content: Signed on white paper with black or blue ink.

When using online tools, always double-check the final file size and dimensions against the official UGC NET requirements before uploading. Some tools might have specific presets for exams, or you might need to manually enter the pixel dimensions that correspond to the required physical size. For example, if you need a photo of 3.5cm x 4.5cm, you would need to find the equivalent pixel dimensions based on the DPI (dots per inch) the tool uses or allows you to set.

Additional Guidelines

The photograph must be in the dimension of 3.5cm x 4.5 cm and between 10kb to 200kb in JPG/JPEG format

The signature must not be signed in capital letters. The signature must be signed using either blue or black ink. The signature must be signed on a white sheet of paper

For the most accurate pixel conversion, it’s recommended to use online photo resizing tools specifically designed for UGC NET applications, as they automatically adjust the dimensions and file sizes according to the official requirements.
