Application File Preparation

Prepare Your IBPS Clerk 2026 Uploads Before You Apply

CRP CSA-XVI requires several separate application files. Prepare each one for its own upload field instead of resizing one image repeatedly or guessing the required KB range during registration.

5 prepared files + 1 live photograph
Uploaded photograph and Live Photograph are different requirements.

Prepare the scanned photograph before registration. The Live Photograph is captured separately through the official IBPS application interface when prompted and cannot be replaced by a QuickPDFNow-prepared image.

01 JPG / JPEG

Photograph

Preferred size 200 × 230 px File size 20–50 KB

Use a recent, clear photograph and keep the prepared upload separate from the Live Photograph captured later during registration.

Photo preparation guide →
02 JPG / JPEG

Signature

Preferred size 140 × 60 px File size 10–20 KB

Keep the handwritten signature clean and readable. Do not use a signature written entirely in capital letters.

Signature preparation guide →
03 JPG / JPEG

Left Thumb Impression

Preferred size 240 × 240 px File size 20–50 KB

Use the left thumb and make sure the impression is clear enough for the ridge pattern to remain visible after preparation.

Thumb impression guide →
04 JPG / JPEG

Handwritten Declaration

Preferred size 800 × 400 px File size 50–100 KB

Write the prescribed declaration yourself in English, then scan or photograph it clearly before preparing the final upload.

Declaration text & guide →
05 PDF

Class 10 / Equivalent Certificate

Format PDF Maximum size 500 KB

Keep a clear PDF copy ready. If the existing PDF is already within the permitted limit and readable, do not compress it again.

LIVE IBPS Capture

Live Photograph

Capture the live photograph directly through the webcam/mobile workflow provided inside the official IBPS application when the portal asks for it.

QuickPDFNow Flagship Tool

Prepare the Four IBPS Image Uploads in One Place

Select IBPS Clerk 2026 in the Exam Photo & Signature Resizer, choose the document type and prepare a separate output for the photograph, signature, left thumb impression or handwritten declaration.

Photograph Signature Left Thumb Declaration
IBPS Clerk preset Prepare Application Files
Class 10 PDF above 500 KB?

Compress it only when the document exceeds the upload limit. Reopen the output afterward and make sure the name, certificate details and text remain clearly readable.

More Than Upload Files Keep your qualification and category records ready too.

The files above are the main initial preparation tasks. Other educational, identity, local-language or reservation records may be needed for entering information or later verification depending on your candidature.

QuickTip

Keep the original photograph, signature, thumb impression and handwritten declaration separate from the processed copies. If you need to prepare a file again, start from the clearest original rather than repeatedly resizing an already compressed output.

Before You Register

Check Eligibility and Choose Your State/UT Carefully

Once your application files are ready, confirm the basic eligibility conditions and make the State/UT decision carefully. For CRP CSA-XVI, the State/UT you apply for affects vacancy consideration and the prescribed local-language requirement.

01
AGE

20–28 years

Age is calculated as on 1 August 2026. The basic date-of-birth range is 2 August 1998 to 1 August 2006, inclusive, before applicable category relaxation.

02
EDUCATION

Graduation required

You must hold a recognised graduation degree or equivalent qualification in accordance with the CRP CSA-XVI notification. Use the official notification for the applicable qualification cut-off condition.

03
COMPUTER LITERACY

Computer knowledge is required

The notification requires computer literacy through an applicable certificate, diploma, degree or study of Computer/Information Technology as specified by IBPS.

04
APPLICATION FEE

₹175 / ₹850

The concessional fee is ₹175 for the applicable categories stated by IBPS; the standard fee is ₹850. Bank transaction charges, where applicable, are additional.

Most Important Application Decision

Select One State/UT Only After Checking Vacancies and Language

CRP CSA-XVI is organised around State/UT vacancies. Your selection affects where your candidature is considered and which prescribed local-language requirement applies.

1 Check the State/UT vacancy position Use the notified State-wise figures as context, not as a guarantee of final allotment.
2 Verify the local language Make sure you meet the language requirement specified for the State/UT you choose.
3 Then complete registration Do not select a State merely because its vacancy number is higher.
Local language is not just a preference field.

Candidates must satisfy the prescribed language requirement for the selected State/UT. Evidence of having studied the relevant language may matter under the notification's language-proficiency rules.
