SSC CGL, CHSL, MTS ya kisi bhi SSC exam ka form fill karte waqt photo rejection sabse frustrating experience hota hai. Portal clearly nahi batata ki exactly kya galat hai — bas "photo invalid" ya "file not accepted" message aata hai.

Yahan 7 most common reasons hain aur unka direct fix:

1. File Size Too Large

Reason: SSC portal maximum 50KB accept karta hai. Mobile camera ki photo 2MB–8MB hoti hai.

Fix: Compress to 50KB tool use karo — automatically sahi size mein compress kar dega.

2. Wrong Dimensions

Reason: SSC ke liye exact dimension: 3.5 cm × 4.5 cm (approximately 413 × 531 pixels at 300 DPI).

Fix: SSC Photo Resize tool — pre-set dimensions ke saath.

3. Wrong Background Color

Reason: SSC white ya light-colored plain background maangta hai. Colorful ya patterned background se rejection hoti hai.

Fix: Background remove tool se background replace karo.

4. File Format Wrong

Reason: SSC only JPG/JPEG accept karta hai. PNG, WEBP, HEIC rejected ho jaate hain.

Fix: SarkariPixels ka koi bhi tool download karte waqt automatically JPG mein convert kar deta hai.

5. Face Not Clearly Visible

Reason: SSC ke guidelines mein face 70-80% of the frame hona chahiye. Full body ya half body photo reject hoti hai.

Fix: Passport-size crop use karo — Free Crop tool.

6. Photo Too Old or Not Recent

Reason: SSC notification mein usually "recent passport-size photograph" mention hota hai — generally 3-6 months se purani photo accept nahi hoti.

Fix: Fresh photo click karo — clear daylight mein, plain wall background ke saath.

7. Blurry or Low Resolution

Reason: WhatsApp se download ki gai ya forwarded photos quality lose kar deti hain. 300 DPI se kum resolution ka photo portal reject karta hai.

Fix: Original camera photo use karo, WhatsApp compressed version nahi. DPI check ke liye DPI Converter tool.
