Exact pixels and an exact KB band at once, for Indian exam application forms
Processed in your browser. Nothing is uploaded. Updated on 25 Oct 2026.An IBPS photograph must be 200 by 230 pixels and weigh 20 to 50 KB; the signature must be 140 by 60 and weigh 10 to 20 KB. Both have to be true of one file, which is why a plain compressor fails: it reaches the KB by removing the pixels the portal checks.
Pick your Exam, or Custom if your form is not listed, then choose what you are uploading, such as Photograph or Signature.
Drop the photo or signature scan, or paste it with Ctrl+V; nothing is uploaded.
Check the Target line, which shows the exact pixels and KB band the file will meet.
Press Make the file, check that it says Ready to upload, then press Download to save the JPEG.
An Indian application portal checks two things and rejects the upload if either is wrong: the pixel dimensions, and the file size in kilobytes. Ordinary tools solve one and break the other. A resizer gets 200 by 230 exactly right and hands back 180 KB. A compressor gets to 40 KB by scaling the picture down, which is the one move that is not available here, because the portal is measuring the pixels.
This page fixes the dimensions first and never touches them again. Only JPEG quality moves, searched for the highest setting that still lands inside the band. Everything happens in your browser: the photograph and signature never leave the device, which matters more here than on most pages, since these are identity documents.
Every portal states a band, not a ceiling. IBPS wants a signature between 10 KB and 20 KB, and a clean black-on-white signature at 140 by 60 pixels encodes to about 4 KB at any quality a browser will produce. There is nothing in the image to spend bytes on, so no slider reaches 10 KB, and the portal refuses the file for being too small.
The answer is a JPEG comment segment: a block of blank bytes that every decoder is required to skip. The file reaches the size the portal asked for and not one pixel of the picture changes. The result line says how many bytes were added, so nothing is done behind your back.
SSC and the Railway Recruitment Boards no longer accept a photograph file. Both capture it live through your camera while the form is open, and both notices state that photographing a printed photograph is a ground for rejection. There is no KB target to hit. UPSC has also moved portal, and the widely repeated figures come from a registration module UPSC itself marks as no longer applicable.
Every preset here quotes the body's own notice, with the link and the date it was read.
IBPS and SBI both ask for a photograph of 200 by 230 pixels weighing 20 to 50 KB, and a signature of 140 by 60 pixels weighing 10 to 20 KB, both JPEG. A left thumb impression at 240 by 240 and a hand-written declaration at 800 by 400 are also required.
Padding solves it. A clean signature at 140 by 60 pixels encodes to roughly 4 KB and cannot reach a 10 KB floor by raising quality, because there is nothing in the picture to spend bytes on. Blank JPEG comment bytes are added instead, which every decoder skips and which change no pixel.
No. SSC now captures the photograph through your camera while the application is open, and the notice states plainly that a candidate is not required to have a pre-existing photograph. Photographing a printed photo is a ground for rejection. Only the signature is still uploaded, at 10 to 20 KB.
General compressors reach a target size by scaling the picture down, since fewer pixels means fewer bytes. An exam portal checks the dimensions, so a 200 by 230 requirement met at 160 by 184 is refused. This page holds the dimensions fixed and moves only JPEG quality, which is the only lever left.
Preset chuniye aur photo daaliye; size kam karna apne aap ho jaata hai. The page fixes the pixel dimensions the form demands and then searches for the highest JPEG quality that still lands inside the KB band, so both requirements are met by one file rather than one at the cost of the other.
Nothing at all. The photograph and the signature are read, resized and re-encoded by your own browser, and no copy is sent anywhere. That matters more here than on most pages, because a passport photograph and a specimen signature together are the two documents most useful to somebody impersonating you.
A dark or detailed photograph at a small pixel size sometimes stays above the ceiling even at low quality, and the dimensions may not be reduced. The page says so rather than handing back a file that will be rejected, and the two things that genuinely help are a plainer background and a tighter crop before uploading.
