What is the IBPS Clerk photo size and specification?

The IBPS Clerk photo must be a JPG/JPEG between 20 KB and 50 KB, exactly 200×230 pixels. It must be a recent colour photograph with a plain white or light-coloured background, face clearly visible, ears visible, no cap or hat, no dark glasses. Phone camera photos are typically 2–5 MB — use BharatTools Image Compressor with a 50 KB target to bring them to spec. The tool runs entirely in your browser.

What is the IBPS Clerk signature size and spec?

The IBPS Clerk signature must be a JPG between 10 KB and 20 KB, 140×60 pixels. Sign on plain white paper with a black or dark-blue ink pen. The signature should be clear and must not touch the edges of the frame. Photograph or scan it, then use BharatTools Image Compressor with a custom 20 KB target to hit the upper limit.

How do I give the left thumb impression for IBPS Clerk?

Press your left thumb on a clean stamp pad (blue or black ink) and press it clearly on a plain white sheet of paper. The impression should be complete — all ridges visible, no smudging. Photograph or scan it as JPG (20–50 KB, 240×240 px). Do not use your right thumb. Female candidates also use the left thumb. Use BharatTools Image Compressor with a 50 KB target if the file is too large.

What is the IBPS Clerk hand-written declaration?

IBPS requires candidates to write a specific declaration paragraph in their own handwriting. The exact text is provided on the application portal's instructions page. Write it on plain white paper with black ink. Photograph in landscape orientation in good light for a wider aspect ratio closer to 800×400 px. The portal specifically requires genuine handwriting — printed and signed declarations are rejected.

What is the IBPS Clerk application fee?

SC, ST, and PwBD candidates pay ₹175. All other candidates (General, OBC, EWS) pay ₹850. Payment is online only — debit card, credit card, or net banking. No cash option. The fee is non-refundable once the application is submitted.

Is IBPS Clerk different from IBPS PO in terms of the form?

The upload specifications are identical: same photo dimensions (200×230 px, 20–50 KB), same signature (140×60 px, 10–20 KB), same thumb impression (240×240 px, 20–50 KB), same declaration (800×400 px, 50–100 KB). The fees are also the same. The main differences are the post applied for, the exam pattern (no interview for Clerk), and the score requirements. The form-filling process on ibps.in follows the same four-step flow.

Can I edit my IBPS Clerk application after submission?

IBPS opens a correction window for a few days after the initial registration period closes. During this window you can edit certain fields, but uploaded documents — photo, signature, thumb impression, declaration — are typically locked at final submission. Prepare all files correctly before beginning the upload step.

Are my files uploaded to BharatTools servers?

No. Every BharatTools tool runs entirely in your browser. Your photo, signature, thumb impression, and declaration image never leave your device — verify with DevTools Network tab while you process. This is especially important for biometric data like thumb impressions.
