How do I reduce a photo to under 50 KB for SBI PO?

Keep the pixel size the notice asks for and lower the JPEG quality until the file lands between 20 KB and 50 KB - that is the range State Bank of India, Central Recruitment & Promotion Department (CRPD) accepts. The resizer on this page does exactly that: it draws your photo onto a 200 x 230 px canvas without cropping it, then binary-searches JPEG quality for the highest setting whose file still fits the range. Re-scanning at a lower DPI or fewer colours is the other route the notice itself suggests.

What is the SBI PO signature size in KB?

JPG / JPEG, 10 to 20 KB, 140 x 60 px. A signature in capital letters is not accepted.

SBI PO photo and signature size

Recruitment of Probationary Officers · State Bank of India, Central Recruitment & Promotion Department (CRPD)

SBI PO needs a photograph in JPG / JPEG, 20 to 50 KB, 200 x 230 px, and a signature in JPG / JPEG, 10 to 20 KB, 140 x 60 px. Those figures are read from SBI CRPD Detailed Advertisement for Probationary Officers (Advertisement No. CRPD/PO/2025-26/04), section 'Guidelines for scanning and Upload of Photograph, Signature, Left-Hand Thumb Impression & Hand-Written Declaration', dated 23 Jun 2025, checked on 29 Jul 2026. The table below and the resizer on this page are generated from that one record, so the specification shown and the target the tool encodes to cannot disagree.

SBI CRPD Detailed Advertisement for Probationary Officers (Advertisement No. CRPD/PO/2025-26/04), section 'Guidelines for scanning and Upload of Photograph, Signature, Left-Hand Thumb Impression & Hand-Written Declaration'

Document date: 23 Jun 2025

Status: Read from the official PDF

Document: https://sbi.bank.in/documents/77530/52947104/1_Detailed_Adv.2025_23.06.2025.pdf

Who lands on this page

The sbi.co.in / bank.sbi careers upload gate rejected a file and the exact KB range is needed.
A scan is larger than the ceiling State Bank of India, Central Recruitment & Promotion Department (CRPD) sets and has to come down without changing the pixel size.
A SBI PO form asks for photograph, signature, left-hand thumb impression, hand-written declaration and each one has a different limit.
A specification found on a coaching site needs checking against the notification it claims to quote.

How the resizer hits the target

Pick the file you are fixing: SBI PO accepts photograph, signature, left-hand thumb impression, hand-written declaration.
Choose the scan or photo from the device. It is decoded in the browser and never uploaded.
The image is drawn onto a white canvas with its aspect ratio kept, so nothing is cropped or stretched. Canvas size: 200 x 230 px.
A binary search over JPEG quality finds the highest quality whose encoded file still sits between 20 KB and 50 KB.
Check the pass or fail line for each rule, then download the JPEG and upload it at sbi.co.in / bank.sbi careers.

How this page is built

The spec and the tool are the same record: The table above and the resizer preset are generated from one entry, so the SBI PO target shown is the target the tool encodes to.
Every row is dated: Each figure carries the document it came from (SBI CRPD Detailed Advertisement for Probationary Officers (Advertisement No. CRPD/PO/2025-26/04), section 'Guidelines for scanning and Upload of Photograph, Signature, Left-Hand Thumb Impression & Hand-Written Declaration') and the date that document was read (29 Jul 2026), so a row that goes out of date reads as a dated fact rather than a wrong one.
The file never leaves the device: Decoding, resizing and JPEG encoding all happen in the browser through a canvas; nothing is uploaded to a server.
The size is searched, not guessed: A binary search over JPEG quality finds the highest quality whose encoded size still sits inside the range, then reports the size, the quality and the number of steps it took.
