If you are filling out a banking exam form for IBPS or SBI, you have probably hit a massive brick wall during the photo upload step: The dreaded "Invalid DPI" error.
You compress the photo to under 50KB, you get the dimensions exactly right (4.5cm x 3.5cm), but the portal still throws a red error saying your image must be exactly 200 DPI. So, what is going on?
Why the 200 DPI Error Happens
When you take a photo with your phone or compress it on a normal website, the hidden "metadata" of the image is usually saved at 72 DPI or 96 DPI. Even if the picture looks perfectly clear to your eyes, the strict government portal reads that hidden data and instantly rejects the file.
The problem is, normal tools like MS Paint or basic phone apps cannot edit DPI metadata. You usually need heavy, expensive software like Adobe Photoshop just to change this one tiny hidden number.
How to Fix it in 5 Seconds (For Free)
We got tired of students missing application deadlines over a hidden metadata number. So, we built a tool to fix it automatically directly inside your browser.
Step-by-Step Fix:
- Go to the Fix DPI tab on our main tool.
- Select the 200 DPI (IBPS) option.
- Upload your rejected photo.
- Click Fix DPI & Download.
The tool instantly rewrites the hidden metadata of your file to exactly 200 DPI without ruining your image quality or changing the KB size.
Best of all, it works locally on your device (Zero-Server architecture), meaning your personal photos and documents are never uploaded to any external servers. Try uploading your newly downloaded file to the IBPS portal—it should go through on the very first try!
