DSSSB Photo and Signature Requirements

The requirements for DSSSB photo and signature can vary slightly depending on the specific advertisement. It’s crucial to always check the latest official notification for the exact specifications. However, common requirements are as follows:

Photograph:

  • Dimensions:
    • 3.5 cm x 4.5 cm (This is a common passport-style photo dimension).
    • Some advertisements might specify a “postcard size photograph” with dimensions of 5×7 inches, which translates to approximately 12.7 cm x 17.78 cm. This postcard size usually requires a resolution of 480×672 pixels at 96 dpi.
  • File Size:
    • Between 25 KB and 100 KB.
    • Some ads might have a range of 10 KB to 50 KB.
    • For the postcard size, the range is typically 50 KB to 300 KB.
  • Format: JPG/JPEG.
  • Background: Plain white or light-colored.
  • Content: Recent passport-style, color photo, full face visible, ears visible, neutral expression, no hats or dark glasses (religious headwear allowed if it doesn’t cover the face).

Signature:

  • Dimensions:
    • 3.5 cm x 1.5 cm (preferred).
  • File Size:
    • Between 10 KB and 50 KB.
    • Some tools specifically mention resizing signatures to 10 to 20 KB.
  • Format: JPG/JPEG.
  • Content: Signed on a white paper with black ink or gel pen. Not to be signed in capital letters.

Converting Dimensions and Using SarkariTools.org

SarkariTools.org offers various tools to help you resize and format your images according to exam requirements.

General Steps for Using SarkariTools.org Image Resizer:

  1. Visit SarkariTools.org: Navigate to the SarkariTools.org website. You should find an “Image Resizer” tool.
  2. Upload Your Image: Click on the “Select Image” or “Upload Image” button and choose the photo or signature file from your device.
  3. Choose Resizing Option: The tool usually allows you to resize by:
    • Pixels: You can directly input the required pixel dimensions.
    • Centimeters (cm) or Inches: You can input the physical dimensions.
    • KB (File Size): You can set a target file size.
  4. Input Specifications:
    • For Photograph:
      • If the requirement is 3.5 cm x 4.5 cm, you might need to convert this to pixels. A common conversion uses approximately 59 pixels per centimeter, so 3.5 cm would be around 207 pixels wide and 4.5 cm would be around 266 pixels high.
      • If a postcard size is required (e.g., 480×672 pixels), enter these values directly.
      • Use the KB option to ensure the file size is within the specified range (e.g., 25-100 KB or 50-300 KB for postcard size).
    • For Signature:
      • If the requirement is 3.5 cm x 1.5 cm, convert this to pixels: 3.5 cm (width) x 59 px/cm ≈ 207 pixels, and 1.5 cm (height) x 59 px/cm ≈ 89 pixels.
      • Use the KB option to set the file size (e.g., 10-50 KB).
  5. Resize and Download: After setting the parameters, click on the “Resize Image” or similar button. The tool will process your image. Once done, you should see a “Download Image” button.
  6. Verify: Before final submission to the DSSSB application, always check the dimensions (in pixels, cm, or inches) and the file size (in KB) of the downloaded image to ensure it meets the exact requirements.

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 DSSSB guidelines closely, you can ensure your photo and signature are uploaded correctly.
