SBI PO 2026 Photo Size — Official Requirements & Free Compressor
SBI PO 2026 (State Bank of India Probationary Officer) requires a JPEG photograph of exactly 200×230 pixels with a file size between 20KB and 50KB. The sbi.co.in online application portal validates both pixel dimensions and file size at the moment of upload — if either fails, the upload is rejected before the form can be submitted.
What You Need to Know
SBI PO 2026 uses the same photo and signature specification as IBPS PO and most banking recruitment forms in India: JPEG format only, 200×230 pixel dimensions (width × height), 20KB to 50KB file size for the photograph, and 140×60 pixels at 10–20KB for the signature. The SBI portal (sbi.co.in) behaves the same as ibps.in in validating both constraints independently. Candidates who correctly hit the 50KB limit but upload a photo at 500×575 pixels will see a dimension error. The correct sequence is always: resize to 200×230px first, then compress to the KB target. At 200×230px, most smartphone JPEG photos naturally compress to 8–40KB, so you may already be under 50KB after resizing alone.
How It Works
Step 1: Take a compliant photo
Plain white or light background, full face visible with ears, no spectacles, taken within the last 3 months. Natural daylight facing you gives the best result.
Step 2: Resize to exactly 200×230 pixels
Use the Resize Image tool — set width to 200px and height to 230px. Do not use 'maintain aspect ratio'. The SBI portal validates pixel dimensions separately from file size.
Step 3: Compress to 20–50KB
Upload the 200×230px image to the compressor below. Target 40–47KB. The output must be JPEG format — the SBI portal rejects PNG and HEIC files.
Step 4: Prepare your signature
Sign with black or blue ink on white paper. Resize to 140×60px and compress to 10–18KB. The SBI portal has a separate 10–20KB limit for the signature field.
Step 5: Upload to sbi.co.in
Go to sbi.co.in → Careers → SBI PO 2026 → Online Application. In the photograph field, upload your 200×230px, 20–50KB JPEG. In the signature field, upload your 140×60px, 10–20KB JPEG. Confirm both previews before clicking Submit.
Benefits
- Targets 200×230px AND 20–50KB simultaneously — the two constraints SBI PO validates
- Same output works for SBI Clerk, SBI SO, and all IBPS exams in the same cycle
- Outputs JPEG — the only format the sbi.co.in portal accepts
- Signature compressor covers the 140×60px, 10–20KB SBI signature requirement
- Browser-only — your SBI PO registration photo never reaches any server
- Free, no account, no watermarks
Pro Tip
SBI PO and IBPS PO use identical photo specifications — prepare one compressed 200×230px JPEG and one 140×60px signature JPEG and use them for both applications. Both portals accept the same files, saving you preparation time during the busy bank exam registration season.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the SBI PO 2026 photo size requirement?
SBI PO 2026 requires a JPEG photograph with file size between 20KB and 50KB, and pixel dimensions of exactly 200 pixels wide by 230 pixels tall. The signature must be JPEG, 140×60 pixels, and 10–20KB. Verify against the official SBI PO 2026 notification at sbi.co.in when it releases.
Is SBI PO 2026 photo size the same as IBPS PO 2026?
Yes. SBI PO, SBI Clerk, and IBPS PO all use the same specification: JPEG, 200×230px, 20–50KB for the photo; 140×60px, 10–20KB for the signature. You can prepare one set of files and use it for both portals in the same recruitment season.
The sbi.co.in portal gives an error even though my photo is under 50KB — why?
The portal validates pixel dimensions separately from file size. Your photo must be exactly 200×230 pixels. Right-click the downloaded file → Properties → Details tab to confirm. If Width shows anything other than 200 or Height shows anything other than 230, redo the resize step.
Does SBI PO 2026 accept PNG photos?
No. The sbi.co.in portal accepts only JPEG (JPG) format. PNG files are rejected even when renamed to .jpg. Our compressor outputs genuine JPEG, not a renamed PNG.
Can I use the same photo for SBI PO 2026 and SBI Clerk 2026?
Yes. SBI PO, SBI Clerk, SBI SO, and SBI Apprentice all use the same photo specification. Prepare one photo (200×230px, 20–50KB JPEG) and one signature (140×60px, 10–20KB JPEG) and reuse them across all SBI recruitment forms in the same year.
