Frequently Asked Questions
What are the 4 required image specifications for IBPS PO and Clerk applications?
IBPS applications require 4 uploads: 1) Photograph: 20-50 KB, 200×230 pixels; 2) Signature: 10-20 KB, 140×60 pixels in black ink; 3) Left Thumb Impression: 20-50 KB, 240×240 pixels (blue or black ink); 4) Handwritten Declaration: 50-100 KB, 800×400 pixels on white paper in English with black ink.
Can I merge photo, signature, thumb impression and declaration onto one page?
Yes. Our IBPS 4-in-1 tool allows you to crop all 4 uploads to official bank proportions and either join them into a unified single image for offline records/print, or download each file individually resized to exact KB limits.
Does IBPS accept blue ink for signature or thumb impression?
For signatures, IBPS guidelines explicitly require BLACK ink on white paper; signatures in blue ink or CAPITAL LETTERS are rejected. For the left thumb impression, either blue or black ink is accepted.
