SBI PO Photo & Signature — What Makes Them Different
While most banks (IBPS, LIC, RBI) use a rectangular 200×230 px portrait photo, SBI uses a square 200×200 px photo. And while most banks use a small 200×80 px signature, SBI requires a much wider 800×300 px signature — about 4× wider than the IBPS signature format.
These two differences catch thousands of aspirants every year who copy their IBPS application photos directly into SBI forms.

How to Prepare the Square SBI PO Photo
A standard passport photo is 3:4 ratio (portrait). SBI requires 1:1 ratio (square). Simply resizing will squish your face. The correct approach is to crop to 1:1 first, then resize:
- Go to ExamReady Photo Cropper
- Select 1:1 Square preset
- Upload your photo — it will crop centrally, keeping your face in frame
- Download the cropped photo
- Now go to Photo Resizer
- Select SBI 200×200 preset — sets 200×200 px, 50 KB
- Upload the cropped photo → Resize → Download
How to Prepare the Wide SBI PO Signature
The 800×300 px signature is very wide — almost like a banner. Sign generously wide on white paper, leaving space on both sides. Then:
- Go to ExamReady Signature Resizer
- Click the SBI 800×300 preset
- Select Stretch to fill mode
- Upload your signature scan → Resize → Download
