SBI PO, Clerk, and SO exams require a photo of 200×230 pixels in JPEG format, between 20 KB and 50 KB, with a plain white background. You will also need a signature image: 140×60 px, 10–20 KB. The SBI portal validates both pixel dimensions and file size.
The State Bank of India portal validates these specifications automatically on upload:
| Requirement | Specification | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Pixel dimensions | 200×230 px | 3.5×4.5 cm at 300 DPI |
| File size | 20 KB – 50 KB | Portal auto-rejects above 50 KB |
| Format | JPG | JPEG compression |
| Resolution | 300 DPI | Print quality standard |
| Background | Plain white | No shadows, no patterns |
| Face coverage | 70–80% | Face centred, looking directly at camera |
| Glasses | Not allowed | Remove before taking photo |
| Expression | Neutral | Mouth closed, eyes open |
⚠ Note: Same spec as IBPS — signature also required
On the SBI registration portal, photo and signature upload appears together. Upload the photo first (200×230 px, 20–50 KB), then upload your signature (140×60 px, 10–20 KB). Confirm both previews before proceeding.
Use rear camera against a plain white wall. Good natural light from the front, no shadows on face. Neutral expression, mouth closed.
Click the upload area above or drag your JPG/PNG file. Maximum 10 MB. Works on all Android and iOS phones.
Adjust the crop box so your face fills 70–80% of the frame. The live preview shows exactly what the final photo looks like.
Click Generate. Download the 20–50 KB portal version. Use the size slider if you need an exact KB target.
Photo and signature upload on SBI registration page. If rejected, check the file size first — it is the most common cause.

SBI requires a signature image of 140×60 pixels in JPEG format, between 10 KB and 20 KB. Sign on white paper in black or blue ink and photograph or scan it clearly.
No. SBI does not allow glasses in the application photo. Remove your glasses before taking the photo.
During SBI document verification, invigilators check that your photo matches your appearance. If it is too old or unclear, you may be asked to provide additional ID. Always use a recent photo taken within the last 6 months.
