Bank exam photo, signature and declaration size (IBPS, SBI, RRB)

Updated 20 October 2026 · 2 min read

Bank exam forms (IBPS PO, Clerk, RRB, SO and many SBI forms) ask for four uploads. The usual sizes are below — but check your notification, because each recruitment can change them.

Quick reference

  • Photograph: 200 × 230 pixels, 20KB – 50KB, JPG, recent, light background.
  • Signature: 140 × 60 pixels, 10KB – 20KB, black ink on white paper.
  • Left thumb impression: black or blue ink on white paper, JPG. The pixel and KB size differ between notifications — read yours.
  • Handwritten declaration: usually 50KB – 100KB JPG, written by you in black ink on white paper, word for word as given in the notification.

Make each file in one minute

  1. Photo: open Resize photo to KB, choose 50KB, turn on “Also set exact size in pixels” and type 200 × 230. Need a white background first? Use Make background white.
  2. Signature: open Signature resize. “140 × 60 (Bank, IBPS, SBI)” and “10KB – 20KB” are already selected — just choose your signature and download.
  3. Thumb impression and declaration: scan them on white paper with Resize photo to KB using Custom size, or turn them into a PDF with Photos to PDF if the form wants a PDF.

Tips that prevent rejection

  • Use the same photo you will carry on exam day — your face is matched at the exam centre.
  • Don’t sign in CAPITAL letters — most banks reject that.
  • Write the declaration in your own handwriting — not typed, not by someone else.
  • Check your age limit on the cut-off date with the Age calculator.
