IBPS Clerk photo and signature size
A banking application asks for four separate uploads, not two, and each has its own size. The two that catch people out are the thumb impression and the handwritten declaration, because most resizers only offer a photo and a signature and leave you to work the rest out.
What resizing will not fix
The declaration has to be handwritten by you, in English, in running hand and not in capital letters, and the thumb impression has to be your left thumb. Those are content rules, not file rules, and no amount of resizing satisfies them. A rejected declaration is usually rejected for being in capitals, not for its size.
- Thumb impression resizer — sets the left thumb impression to 240 x 240 at the KB range the bank asks for.
- Handwritten declaration resizer — sets the declaration to 800 x 400 without changing how you wrote it.
Already tried, and it was refused?
A portal almost never says which rule you broke. Drop the file you tried to upload into the rejection checker and it reports on each rule separately — format, pixel size, the maximum, the minimum and the DPI — so you fix the one that is actually wrong instead of guessing. It reads the file and changes nothing.
Have the notification in front of you?
Then you do not need the figures above at all. Copy the upload instructions straight out of it and paste them into the box on the home page — it reads the pixel sizes, the KB range and the DPI out of the text and sets the tools to exactly what your notification says. That is always right, even when a published figure has gone stale.
Notes on these figures
- If a minimum KB is given, set it too — a clean photograph often compresses below it, and the tool pads the file to reach it without touching the picture.
- Reading a size in centimetres? This guide shows how to convert it to pixels properly.

Questions
What are the four IBPS Clerk uploads?
Photograph at 200 x 230 pixels and 20 to 50 KB, signature at 140 x 60 and 10 to 20 KB, left thumb impression at 240 x 240 and 20 to 50 KB, and the handwritten declaration at 800 x 400 and 50 to 100 KB. All four in JPEG.
What does 200 DPI mean here?
It is the resolution recorded inside the file. The thumb impression and declaration are specified at 200 DPI. If your portal rejects a file for DPI, set it without changing the pixel size — there is a separate tool for that.
Why was my handwritten declaration rejected?
The usual reasons are writing it in capital letters, typing it instead of handwriting it, or writing it in a language other than English. None of those are size problems.
My declaration comes out under 50 KB. What do I do?
That is the minimum, and a photograph of neat handwriting compresses well below it. The declaration tool pads the file up to the floor so it is still a valid JPEG at an accepted size.
