IBPS wants four files, not one
This is the thing that catches people out. Most exam applications need a photograph and a signature. IBPS needs four separate images, each with its own dimensions and its own KB window:
The photograph at 200 × 230 pixels, 20–50 KB. The signature at 140 × 60 pixels, 10–20 KB. A left thumb impression at 240 × 240 pixels, 20–50 KB. And a handwritten declaration at 800 × 400 pixels, 50–100 KB. All four presets are in the list above, so you can run each file through in turn without hunting for the numbers.
The photograph is an unusual shape
200 × 230 is very nearly square — 0.87 wide to tall — where a standard passport photo is 0.778 and a phone photo is 0.75. That difference is small enough that people do not notice it and large enough that a plain resize distorts the face. Cropping from the centre, which is what happens here, is the correct treatment.
The thumb impression
Left thumb, in black or blue ink, on plain white paper, photographed straight down. It has to be square at 240 × 240. The only real failure mode is a smudged impression, and no software fixes that — if the ridges are not visible in the original they will not be visible at 240 pixels. Take it again with less ink rather than more.
The declaration is the one that goes wrong
The handwritten declaration is 2:1, and a sheet of paper is not, so an ordinary resizer crops it and removes the last line. It also has to be photographed, which means it arrives crooked and shadowed. The declaration formatter straightens it using the angle of your own writing, divides out the phone's shadow, and pads to 800 × 400 rather than cropping. Write it in running hand — IBPS rejects block capitals and typed text.
Your files stay with you
All four uploads are processed in your browser. Your signature and thumb impression in particular are biometric-adjacent files that are worth not sending anywhere.
Common questions
Why was my photo rejected when it was under the size limit?
Almost always because it was under the minimum instead. SSC asks for 20–50 KB, so a 12 KB photo fails. Portals rarely say which end you missed. This tool checks both.
Does padding the file to reach the minimum damage the photo?
No. The padding is a JPEG comment segment, which is part of the format and is skipped by every decoder. The pixels are bit-for-bit identical to the unpadded version — only the file size changes.
Which preset should I use for NEET?
NTA — passport photo, for the main upload. NEET also asks for a 4 × 6 inch postcard photograph, which has its own page: the postcard photo maker.
Can I use a PNG or a screenshot?
Drop in anything and you get JPG back, which is what UPSC and NTA require. They refuse PNG and PDF outright at the upload step, so converting first is not optional.
My photo is smaller than the required size — is that a problem?
You are told when it happens. The image is enlarged so the portal accepts it, but it will look soft, and it is the same photo that gets printed on your admit card and checked at the exam centre. A higher-resolution original is worth finding.
Does the exam board also require my name and the date on the photo?
NTA does, for NEET and JEE. Several state boards do too. Use the add name and date tool first, then bring the result back here to hit the size window.
