SBI Clerk Photo Specifications 2026
SBI Clerk — officially the Junior Associate (Customer Support & Sales) recruitment — is conducted through the same State Bank of India recruitment portal and shares its photo/signature specification sheet with SBI PO. One detail trips up a surprising number of candidates every year: SBI enforces a minimum file size for the photograph, not just a maximum. Many applicants who are used to exams that only cap the upper limit end up over-compressing their photo and get an unexpected rejection.

Open SBI Clerk Resizer →How to Take the Perfect SBI Clerk Photo
Do's
- Take the photo against a plain white background
- Face the camera directly with your full face and both ears visible
- Wear formal attire suitable for a bank recruitment application
- Use even, natural lighting without harsh shadows
- Keep a neutral expression with your mouth closed
- Check the final file size falls between 20KB and 50KB before uploading
- Get a fresh photo taken specifically for this recruitment cycle
Don'ts
- Do not wear sunglasses, tinted glasses, or headgear (barring religious exceptions)
- Do not use a photo older than 3 months
- Do not over-compress your photo to make it very small — it must stay above 20KB
- Do not use an off-white, cream, or coloured background
- Do not upload a signature with visible paper lines, creases, or a scanned angle
- Do not submit a typed or printed name in place of a handwritten signature
Most candidates know about the 50KB maximum, but many don't realise the SBI portal also rejects photos that are compressed too aggressively and fall below the 20KB minimum. If you use a generic online compressor aiming for "as small as possible," you can accidentally push your photo below the floor and get rejected for being too small, not too large. Our tool keeps your file size within the 20KB–50KB band automatically.
