IBPS PO photo and signature size

IBPS PO upload specifications

Values for the IBPS PO/MT 2025 (CRP PO/MT-XV) online application, copied from IBPS CRP PO/MT-XV: Guidelines for scanning and upload of documents, checked 31 October 2026; "not stated" means the source gives no figure for it.

IBPS PO sizes in pixels and millimetres

Print sizes become pixels at a resolution (pixels = mm ÷ 25.4 × DPI); pixel sizes become print sizes the other way round. Computed for the IBPS PO uploads at 200 and 300 DPI.

What the IBPS PO KB limits mean in bytes

Estimated JPG file size for IBPS PO uploads

Estimated from sizes measured with sharp 0.35.5 / libvips 8.18.7 on public-domain sample images (31 October 2026), interpolated to each target size. Your own scan can land 30-50% either side, which is why the tool measures the real file.

Will the IBPS PO photo fit the limit?

How to resize your photo for IBPS PO

1. 1

   Take or scan the photo

   Use a recent colour photo (background: light-coloured, preferably white). Frame it in the 35 × 45 mm shape.

2. 2

   Load the preset

   Drop the file into the tool at the top of this page. The "IBPS PO photo" preset is already set to 200 × 230 px (preferred) and 20 KB–50 KB, as JPG/JPEG.

3. 3

   Check the result

   Read the before and after sizes: the IBPS PO photo must end between 20,480 and 50,000 bytes. If it ends under 20 KB, open "Fit, background and padding" and tick the option to pad a file that ends up below the minimum. Download it.

4. 4

   Switch to the signature

   Pick the "IBPS PO signature" preset, set to 140 × 60 px (preferred) and 10 KB–20 KB as JPG/JPEG, and repeat with the signature file. If it ends under 10 KB, open "Fit, background and padding" and tick the option to pad a file that ends up below the minimum.

5. 5

   Upload and preview

   Upload the files on the IBPS PO form and check the preview before you submit; verify the figures with the official notice first.

What the IBPS PO source also says

• Scanner resolution of at least 200 DPI is recommended by the guidelines.

IBPS PO compared with similar forms

Of these 5 forms, the IBPS PO photo limit of 50 KB is the same for every form here that sets one; a file made for a stricter form usually passes a more generous one only if it also meets the minimum and the pixel size.
