Hit the 20–50KB photo limit for IBPS applications automatically. Free and private.
IBPS has used the same numbers for years: the photograph is 200 × 230 pixels at 20–50KB, and the signature is 140 × 60 pixels at 10–20KB. Both must be JPG. The photograph should be a recent passport-style colour photo against a light background; the signature must be in black ink on white paper, in running hand rather than capitals.
Newer cycles have added a left thumb impression and a handwritten declaration, each with limits given on the upload page itself.
Requirements change between notifications, and different posts under the same body sometimes differ. Always open the official notice or the upload page itself and check the numbers before you submit — the figures here are the ones that have applied most recently, not a substitute for the notice.
Crop the photograph to head and shoulders first, so the proportions are close to the 200 × 230 shape the form wants. Then let the size come down. Doing it the other way round — compressing a full-frame photo and cropping afterwards — leaves you with a small image that has already lost detail, and cropping then magnifies what is left.
The tool above works to a 50KB target, which is the photograph limit. For the signature, use the 20KB page instead so you land inside the 10–20KB window rather than just under 50KB.
Because IBPS does not let you re-upload after submission, a photo that squeaks under the limit but looks poor is a problem you cannot fix later. It is worth opening the compressed file and looking at it at full size before you attach it.
If it looks soft, the usual cause is that the original was shot at an angle or in poor light, not that the compression was too aggressive. Retaking the photo against a plain light wall in daylight solves more problems than any tool setting.
The long-standing specification is a photograph of 200 × 230 pixels at 20–50KB, and a signature of 140 × 60 pixels at 10–20KB, both as JPG. Confirm against the notification for your exam.
No. IBPS applications do not allow the photograph or signature to be edited or re-uploaded once the form is submitted, so it is worth checking carefully before you confirm.
Yes. IBPS requires a running signature in black ink on white paper, and rejects signatures written in block capitals.
Recent IBPS cycles also ask for a left thumb impression and a handwritten declaration, each with its own size limit stated on the upload page. The same approach works for both — crop tightly, then compress.
