SBI PO 2026 photo, signature, thumb impression and declaration upload requirements

SBI's Probationary Officer application (Advertisement CRPD/PO/2026-27/09) asks for four scanned images, each in jpg/jpeg with its own pixel size and file-size band: a passport-style colour photograph of 200 × 230 pixels at 20–50 KB, a signature of 140 × 60 pixels at 10–20 KB, a left-hand thumb impression of 240 × 240 pixels at 20–50 KB, and a hand-written declaration of 800 × 400 pixels at 50–100 KB. The advertisement calls the pixel dimensions 'preferred'; the file-size bands are the limits the portal enforces.

The usual failure is a file outside its band — a phone photo of several megabytes, or a signature scanned at 300 dpi that comes out at 80 KB. The advertisement also rejects specific content: caps, hats and dark glasses in the photo (religious headwear is allowed if it does not cover the face), and a signature or declaration written in CAPITAL LETTERS.

Each checker below is pre-set to the advertisement's pixel size and file-size band and can resize and compress your scan to fit. The tool checks size, dimensions and format only — it cannot read the declaration, judge ink colour or background, or tell you whether SBI will accept the upload.

Check and fix your photo

The tool below is set to the official digital limits. Drop your photo in to check it and download a version that fits.

Set to 200 × 230 px and 20–50 KB in jpg/jpeg. The advertisement calls the pixel size 'preferred', so fix mode resizes to exactly 200 × 230 and compresses under 50 KB; crop to the edge of the photograph first so the face is not distorted. A file under 20 KB is not padded up — start from a sharper scan.

Resizes to exactly 800 × 400 px and compresses under 100 KB. Write the declaration on a 10 cm × 5 cm area (2:1) so the crop matches without squashing the text, and check it is still legible after the fix. The tool cannot read the wording — copy it from the advertisement exactly.

Compliance note. This checks mechanical file requirements only — file size, pixel dimensions, aspect ratio and format. It does not check face coverage, background, ink colour, legibility, the number of signatures, or whether the examination or recruitment portal will accept your upload.

Step by step

  • Scan all four images at 200 dpi

    Photograph on a light background with no cap, hat or dark glasses; signature, left thumb impression and declaration on white paper in black ink, none in capital letters.

  • Crop each scan to its shape

    Photo to the edge of the print (200:230), signature wide (140:60), thumb square (240:240), declaration 2:1 (800:400) — so the fix resizes without distortion.

  • Check and fix each file below

    Every checker is pre-set to its band: 20–50 KB, 10–20 KB, 20–50 KB and 50–100 KB. Download the fixed jpg files.

  • Upload and preview in the SBI portal

    Upload each file to its own field and check the previews — a squashed or illegible image is a reason for rejection even when the size passes.
