IBPS and SBI Photo and Signature Size: Resize to 200x230 and 140x60

Oct 24, 2026 · 3 min read · Exams

Bank exam applications from IBPS (PO, Clerk, SO, RRB) and SBI ask for more uploads than most forms: a photo, a signature, a left thumb impression and a handwritten declaration. Each has its own pixel size and KB range. This guide covers the photo and signature, which cause the most trouble.

The usual bank exam sizes

• Photo: 200×230 pixels, JPG, 20 to 50 KB.
• Signature: 140×60 pixels, JPG, 10 to 20 KB.
• Left thumb impression: usually 240×240 pixels, 20 to 50 KB.
• Handwritten declaration: usually 800×400 pixels, 50 to 100 KB.

Resize the photo and signature

1. Open the IBPS / SBI photo preset.
2. Add your photo. It is cropped from the centre to 200×230 pixels and saved as a JPG between 20 and 50 KB.
3. Download it, then switch the preset menu to IBPS / SBI signature (or open the signature preset) and add your signature.
4. Download the 140×60 pixel signature, which is kept between 10 and 20 KB.

Both files are made in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to our site.

Thumb impression and declaration

These do not have presets yet, but you can make them with the same tool. Scan or photograph them on white paper, then:

• For the thumb impression, set Max width and Max height to 240 and Target size (KB) to 50.
• For the declaration, set Max width to 800 and Target size (KB) to 100.

Crop each picture close to the paper first, so the shape is right. For the declaration, write the exact text from your notice in English, in your own handwriting, not in capital letters, unless the notice says otherwise.

Why the signature is the hardest

At 140×60 pixels, a signature is smaller than a postage stamp on screen. Thin, light strokes can almost vanish. To keep it readable:

• Sign with a black gel pen or a thin marker, not a ballpoint.
• Sign larger than usual, in a box about 7 cm by 3 cm, and crop close around it.
• Photograph it in daylight, straight from above, with no shadow from your phone.
• Never type your name in a font or sign in capital letters. Most notices reject both.

Upload errors and fixes

• "File size is less than minimum": a small, plain signature can be below 10 KB even at full quality. The preset pads the JPG harmlessly so it reaches the minimum.
• "Photo not clear" after upload: start from the original photo, not a WhatsApp copy, which has already been compressed.
• The photo is cut off at the top: crop your original so your face is in the centre with some space above your head, then add it again.
