IBPS PO/MT-XVI 2026: image and document preparation
CLOSED — verified 2026 application cycle
Registration closed 26 July 2026. This is a record of a closed cycle, not an invitation to apply.
Passing ApplySpec checks does not guarantee IBPS acceptance. No complete compliance verdict is provided.
Official documents say KB/kb without defining 1,000 or 1,024 bytes. We preserve their literal ranges and do not assign an official size pass or fail. Preferred dimensions are guidance, not mandatory limits.

Prepare a photo or signature locally
Only photo and signature preparation is provided. Thumb/declaration requirements are recorded above; live capture and PDF tools are not implemented.
Files are processed on your device. No images, names or extracted information are uploaded or saved by this tool.
The preferred dimensions are starting values for resizing, not official rejection limits. Output is JPEG. You may crop or adjust the dimensions. Check the actual result below.
Optional size targets below are your own decimal-KB processing targets (1 KB = 1,000 bytes), not a conversion of the official KB range. Leave them blank unless you deliberately choose a personal target. Meeting them does not resolve official size compliance.
