ISRO ICRB photo and signature size

The ISRO ICRB form takes a photo of 200 × 230 px (preferred), 20 KB–50 KB and a signature of 140 × 60 px (preferred), 10 KB–20 KB, both as JPG/JPEG.

ISRO ICRB photo

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.

Saving presets is part of Pro.

Pick a photo to fit it to 20-50 KB (20,480-50,000 bytes).

The result appears here: the exact byte count, pixel size and quality, the size before and after, a preview and a download button.

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.

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.

UploadPixel size usedQuality 60Quality 75Quality 85Quality 95Limit
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 no larger than 50 KB (50,000 bytes is safe under both KB definitions).
  • 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).

How to resize your photo for ISRO ICRB

  1. Take or scan the photo

    Use a recent colour photo. Frame it in the 35 × 45 mm shape.

  2. Load the preset

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

  3. Check the result

    Read the before and after sizes: the ISRO ICRB 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. Switch to the signature

    Pick the "ISRO ICRB 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. Upload and preview

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

What the ISRO ICRB source also says

  • Another paragraph of the same notice asks for the photo and the signature in .jpg or .jpeg with a "Maximum Size of 50 Kb to 100 Kb"; the upload instructions give 20-50 KB and 10-20 KB. This page follows the upload instructions; if the live form rejects a file, check the notice for a corrigendum.
  • Photo: A recent passport-style colour photograph, not older than 6 months.
  • Signature: Not in capital letters; of appropriate size and clearly visible.

ISRO ICRB compared with similar forms

Of these 5 forms, the ISRO ICRB 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.
