The SSC 2026 Photograph Standard
SSC has moved to a 'Zero-Tolerance' policy regarding photographs. Unlike previous years where minor glares on glasses were overlooked, they now reject ANY photo with spectacles. Ensure your photo has a white or light background and both ears are clearly visible. Our tool uses 200x230 pixels as the base for photos to ensure clarity even at 30KB compression.
