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.

How to Take the Perfect SBI Clerk Photo

Do's

Don'ts

⚠️
Common mistake that causes rejection

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.

How to Resize Your Photo to SBI Clerk Specifications

The fastest way to hit the exact SBI Clerk band is to use SarkariKagaz.pro:

  1. Go to sarkarikagaz.pro and search for "SBI Clerk" in the search box
  2. Select "SBI Clerk Photo" from the suggestions — the tool auto-loads the 20KB–50KB range along with dimensions
  3. Upload your photo by clicking the upload area or dragging and dropping it in
  4. Use the Crop tool to adjust framing so your face fills the recommended area
  5. Check the Form Readiness panel — all indicators should turn green, including the minimum size check
  6. Click "Download Photo" — the file is automatically kept within the 20KB–50KB window

The whole process takes under a minute, and your photo is processed entirely on your own device — never uploaded to any server.
