ISRO ICRB photo and signature size

JPG · 20-50 KB (20,480-50,000 bytes) · 200x230 px · white background
PixelFit aims between 20,480 and 50,000 bytes, so the file passes whether the form counts 1 KB as 1,000 or 1,024 bytes.

ISRO ICRB 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 ISRO ICRB uploads at 200 and 300 DPI.
| Upload | Aspect ratio | Megapixels | At 200 DPI | At 300 DPI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Photo | 7:9 (print size) | 0.22 MP at 300 DPI | 276 × 354 px | 413 × 531 px |

What the ISRO ICRB KB limits mean in bytes
The ISRO ICRB photo range of 20 KB–50 KB is 20,480 to 50,000 bytes if you want a file that passes whether the portal counts 1,000 or 1,024 bytes per KB: a window of 29,520 bytes to aim for.
The ISRO ICRB signature range of 10 KB–20 KB is 10,240 to 20,000 bytes if you want a file that passes whether the portal counts 1,000 or 1,024 bytes per KB: a window of 9,760 bytes to aim for.
Estimated JPG file size for ISRO ICRB 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.
| Upload | Pixel size used | Quality 60 | Quality 75 | Quality 85 | Quality 95 | Limit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Photo | 200 × 230 px | 8.0 KB | 10.2 KB | 13.1 KB | 21.9 KB | 20 KB–50 KB |
| Signature | 140 × 60 px | 0.9 KB | 1.1 KB | 1.5 KB | 2.7 KB | 10 KB–20 KB |
Will the ISRO ICRB photo fit the limit?
For the ISRO ICRB photo at 200 × 230 px, even quality 95, the highest setting estimated here, stays under 50 KB at about 21.9 KB, and quality 85 (13.1 KB) misses the 20 KB minimum.
An ink-on-white scan for the ISRO ICRB signature at 140 × 60 px comes to about 1.5 KB at JPG quality 85 and 2.7 KB even at quality 95, under the 10 KB minimum, so raise the pixel size if the form allows it or let the tool pad the file up to 10 KB (tick the padding option under "Fit, background and padding"; it is off by default).
ISRO ICRB rejection checklist
Upload checks computed from the ISRO ICRB specification; a file that fails any one of them is usually refused at upload or flagged later.
- Photo: File type is JPG/JPEG (a PNG or HEIC renamed to .jpg is still rejected).

- Photo: The ISRO ICRB photo file is at least 20 KB (20,480 bytes or more); files under the minimum are rejected even when they look sharp.
- Photo: Pixel size is 200 × 230 px (the preferred size; the hard checks are on file size).
- Signature: File type is JPG/JPEG (a PNG or HEIC renamed to .jpg is still rejected).
- Signature: The ISRO ICRB signature file is no larger than 20 KB (20,000 bytes is safe under both KB definitions).
- Signature: The ISRO ICRB signature file is at least 10 KB (10,240 bytes or more); files under the minimum are rejected even when they look sharp.
- Signature: Pixel size is 140 × 60 px (the preferred size; the hard checks are on file size).
