Official DSSSB Upload Specifications
The table below summarizes the document rules stated in the official DSSSB notice.
| Document Type | Format | Size Limit | Dimensions / Background / Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Photograph | JPG | 25 KB to 100 KB | Dimensions: 3.5 cm x 4.5 cm. Background: Light-colored, preferably white. Notes: Use a bright color photo with a clearly visible face. Unevenly sized or blurred photographs are not allowed. |

Common Reasons DSSSB Files Get Rejected
Even when the original photo or signature looks acceptable offline, the portal can still reject the digital upload for practical reasons:
- File size outside the official range: Photos must stay between 25 KB and 100 KB, while signatures must stay between 10 KB and 50 KB.
- Wrong file format: DSSSB asks for JPG uploads. PNG, PDF, or other formats can fail immediately.
- Poor background or low contrast: A dark background, shadows, or weak contrast can make the final file harder to read after compression.
- Blur or uneven resizing: Stretching an image to force it into shape can create a distorted or blurry export, which the notice warns against.
- Signature preparation mistakes: Signatures should be written by the applicant on white paper with black ink or gel pen, then cropped cleanly before upload.

Practical Guidance Before You Upload
Photograph
Use a bright color photo against a light-colored or white background. Keep the face clear and avoid over-compression, because DSSSB specifically disallows blurred photographs.
Signature
Sign on clean white paper using black ink or gel pen, then crop closely so the signature remains readable. A signature image with too much white margin can look small and unclear after upload.
Privacy and File Handling
Your exam photo and signature are sensitive personal documents. This tool is intended for practical file preparation only. The resizing flow is designed to minimize unnecessary handling so you can format your files and move on with the application process.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use a phone photo for the DSSSB application?
A: Yes, if the final JPG is clear, the background is light-colored or white, and the file stays within the official 25 KB to 100 KB photo range.
Q: Why is my DSSSB signature still getting rejected?
A: The first things to check are file size, JPG format, and signature clarity. DSSSB also expects the signature on white paper using black ink or gel pen.
Q: What if my photo is slightly over 100 KB?
A: Use the tool to crop excess background and compress the image until it falls back within the official photo range.
Q: Should I trust the tool or the official notice?
