SBI PO 2026 Photo & Signature Upload Guide

Applying for SBI PO 2026 is not difficult, but the document upload step is where many candidates lose time. The portal accepts each file only when its format, size, dimensions, and clarity meet the stated requirements.

This guide explains the verified upload specifications in SBI advertisement CRPD/PO/2026-27/09, dated June 18, 2026. Where that source does not give a certificate or PDF limit, the guide says so instead of guessing.

SBI PO 2026 document size requirements

Each upload field is separate. Put the photograph in the photo field, the signature in the signature field, the thumb impression in its field, and the declaration in the declaration field. Rename the files clearly before uploading to avoid a mix-up.

SBI PO 2026 photograph size and rules

The photograph should be a recent passport-style colour image. Use a clear, front-facing photo against a light background. The preferred dimensions are 200 × 230 pixels, and the file must be 20KB–50KB in JPG or JPEG format.

• Keep your face centered, relaxed, and directly facing the camera.
• Avoid a dark background, harsh shadows, blur, sunglasses, caps, and face coverings.
• Use a recent photo that matches your current appearance.
• Check the downloaded image at full size before uploading.

Prepare it with Resize Photo to 50KB or the dedicated SBI Photo and Signature Resizer.

SBI PO 2026 signature size and rules

Sign on plain white paper with a black ink pen. The signature must be your own and must not be written in capital letters. The preferred dimensions are 140 × 60 pixels, and the file size must be 10KB–20KB.

1. Write a clear signature on clean white paper.
2. Scan it or take a sharp, straight photo in even light.
3. Crop tightly around the signature, leaving a small margin.
4. Resize and preview it so the strokes remain solid and readable.

Use Resize Signature to 20KB and avoid compressing so heavily that the lines fade or break.

SBI PO 2026 left-hand thumb impression

The left-hand thumb impression must be uploaded separately. Use black or blue ink on white paper. The preferred dimensions are 240 × 240 pixels, and the file size must be 20KB–50KB.

Apply a small, even amount of ink and press once without sliding your thumb. The ridge lines should be visible; a dark blob or smudged impression is not a good upload. If you do not have a left thumb, follow the alternative-hand instruction in the official notification.

Crop and resize it with the Thumb Impression Resizer.

SBI PO 2026 handwritten declaration

The handwritten declaration must be written by the candidate in English on white paper using black ink. It must not be written in capital letters. The preferred dimensions are 800 × 400 pixels, and the file size must be 50KB–100KB.

Keep the paper straight while scanning or photographing it. Crop unnecessary blank margins, then open the final file and zoom in to confirm that every word remains readable.

Prepare this file with the Handwritten Declaration Resizer.

Certificates and supporting documents

The cited image-upload annexure does not specify a general certificate upload format, file-size range, or pixel dimension for the initial application. Keep category, disability, education, and identity documents readable and ready for any later verification stage that applies to you.

If the application portal shows a certificate field, follow that field's current instruction. Do not apply the photo or declaration limits to a certificate unless SBI explicitly says to do so.

PDF documents

A general PDF upload limit is not specified in the cited Annexure II. If a later SBI step asks for a PDF, check the permitted size, page count, and format shown for that step.

• Keep names, dates, registration numbers, marks, seals, and signatures readable.
• Remove password protection only when you are authorised to do so and the portal cannot accept the protected file.
• Do not merge documents when SBI provides separate upload fields.
• Keep an unchanged copy of every original document.

SBI PO 2026 live photograph upload

In addition to the scanned photograph, SBI PO 2026 registration requires a live photograph during the application process. It can be captured with a webcam or, where the portal provides the option, by scanning a QR code and using a mobile phone.

• Stand or sit against a light-coloured background.
• Keep enough light on your face and look straight at the camera.
• Do not wear sunglasses, a cap, or anything covering your face.
• Keep your face centered inside the portal's capture frame.
• Allow camera permission in your browser when prompted.

Why SBI PO uploads fail

Recommended scanning settings

• Resolution: 200 DPI is specified for the preferred thumb-impression and declaration dimensions; use the notice values for each asset.
• Colour mode: true colour
• Background: clean white paper
• Format: JPG/JPEG
• Framing: straight, sharp, evenly lit, and closely cropped

Prepare all SBI PO upload files

1. Prepare originals: Keep your passport photo, signature, thumb impression, and handwritten declaration ready.
2. Crop carefully: Remove unnecessary margins without cutting off useful content.
3. Resize each file: Use the correct pixel dimensions and KB range from the table above.
4. Download and preview: Confirm clarity, format, dimensions, and file size.
5. Upload to the correct field: Review every portal preview before final submission.

SBI PO 2026 upload checklist

• ☐ Photo is a clear, recent JPG/JPEG between 20KB and 50KB.

Final advice

Prepare every image before you begin the final submission. Correct file size alone is not enough—the photo, signature, thumb impression, and declaration must also remain clear. Keep copies of the uploaded files, especially the photograph, because they may be needed later in the selection process.
