Photo Guidelines for Bangladesh SSC

Clothing

Students should wear their school uniform in the registration photo. This is the official recommendation from most Education Boards. A plain white shirt/kurta is also acceptable if uniform is unavailable.

Background

• White background only — studio or home setup against a white wall
• No patterns, no colored backgrounds
• No shadows on the background

Lighting

• Even, bright lighting — avoid shadows on face
• Natural light near a window works well
• Avoid harsh direct sunlight that creates deep shadows

Expression

• Neutral, calm expression
• Eyes fully open and looking at camera
• Mouth closed
• No sunglasses, no hats

Common SSC Photo Submission Errors

Error 1: Wrong File Size

Problem: Many students upload photos directly from phone (3–10MB) without compression. Solution: Use SizeSnap's compression tool to bring it to 50–100KB.

Error 2: Non-Square Photo

Problem: Phone photos are typically landscape (4:3 or 16:9) ratio, not square. Solution: SizeSnap's center crop automatically makes the photo square during resize.

Error 3: Wrong Format

Problem: Some photos come as PNG, HEIC, or WebP from certain phones. Solution: SizeSnap accepts any input format and outputs JPEG.

Error 4: Photo Too Small (Under 50KB)

Problem: Over-compressing results in a file under 50KB which is rejected. Solution: Set target to 75KB in SizeSnap — comfortably within the 50–100KB range.

Error 5: Old Photo

Problem: Using a photo from 1–2 years ago for SSC registration. Solution: Always use a fresh photo taken within the last 6 months.

How to Take a Good SSC Registration Photo at Home

You don't need a professional photographer for an SSC registration photo. With a smartphone, you can take a perfectly acceptable photo:

Equipment

• Smartphone with a decent camera (any modern phone)
• White wall or a white sheet hung on a wall
• Good natural light (face a window)

Setup

1. Stand the student 2–3 feet in front of the white wall
2. Ensure the light source (window) is in front of them, not behind
3. Take the photo at eye level (not from above or below)
4. Frame so the face takes up 70–80% of the shot
5. Include the top of the head and shoulders
6. Ask for a neutral expression

After Taking the Photo

1. Check sharpness — zoom in and confirm the photo is in focus
2. Check background — must be white with minimal shadows
3. Process with SizeSnap to resize to 300×300, 75KB JPEG
