All four IBPS uploads, on one page
IBPS asks for four files and gives each one a different band. Switch between them here instead of hunting down four separate tools.

The four files and the four bands
| File | Pixels | Weight | Format |
|---|---|---|---|
| Photograph | 200 × 230 | 20 to 50 KB | JPG or JPEG |
| Signature | 140 × 60 | 10 to 20 KB | JPG or JPEG |
| Left thumb impression | 240 × 240 | 20 to 50 KB | JPG or JPEG |
| Handwritten declaration | 800 × 400 | 50 to 100 KB | JPG or JPEG |
These are the figures IBPS carries across PO, Clerk and SO. The thumb impression and the declaration were added to the form years after the photograph and the signature, which is why so many guides still list only the first two and why candidates reach the last upload screen unprepared.
The declaration is the one people redo most, and never for a technical reason. It has to be written by hand, in English, in running script, in black ink, by the candidate. Typed text is rejected. Capitals are rejected. A photograph of it taken at an angle usually is too.
Every one of these bands has a floor
All four numbers are ranges and both ends are enforced. This matters most for the signature and the thumb impression, because both are ink on white paper: they compress so well that an ordinary scan lands under the floor and is rejected for being too small. The portal does not tell you that is what happened.
The tool above fills in both boxes for whichever file you picked. It searches down for the best quality that fits under the ceiling, and if it lands under the floor it spends what headroom is left climbing back up into the band. If the floor cannot be reached at all, the row tells you plainly instead of inflating the file to make the number look right.
What the bank photo has to look like
Beyond the numbers, IBPS is specific about the picture. Recent, in colour, taken against a plain light background, face square to the camera and filling most of the frame, both ears visible, no cap and no dark glasses. Ordinary prescription spectacles are fine. A photo with a glare on the lenses is not.
200 × 230 is a portrait frame, slightly taller than it is wide. A phone photograph is far wider, so something has to give. The default here fills the frame and trims the overflow from the centre, which keeps the face undistorted. Crop to head and shoulders yourself first if you want to control exactly what is lost.
Questions
+ Can I do all four files on this page?
Yes. The buttons at the top of the tool switch between the photograph, the signature, the thumb impression and the declaration, and each one fills in its own pixel size and its own weight band. Do them one at a time, downloading each before you switch.
+ Why was my signature rejected when it was well under 20 KB?
Because 10 KB is a floor and it is enforced. Ink on white paper compresses very well, so a clean scan often lands at 4 or 5 KB. Widen it or rescan at a higher resolution.
+ What exactly does the handwritten declaration have to say?
The wording is printed in your own notification and it changes between recruitments, so copy it from there rather than from a guide. What does not change: it is handwritten by the candidate, in English, in running script, in black ink, and never typed or in block capitals.
+ Does IBPS accept PNG?
No. All four uploads are JPG or JPEG. This page outputs JPEG and offers no format dropdown for that reason.
+ Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything happens in your browser on your own device. Your photograph, signature and thumb impression are never sent to us or to anyone else, and there is no account.
