How to Fix an "Invalid Image Dimensions" Upload Error

Which rule is it?

Rule	Looks like	Fix
Exact size	“Must be 200 × 230 px”	Resize Image with crop or fit
Minimum	“At least 600 px wide”	Start from a larger original; enlarging a small one only adds soft pixels
Maximum	“No larger than 4000 × 4000”	Resize Image down to the limit
Shape (aspect ratio)	“Must be square”, “3:4 portrait”	Crop Image to the ratio, or crop to fit in Resize
Size and KB together	“200 × 230, 20 to 50 KB”	KB + Dimensions

Required or preferred?

Not every number in a notice is a hard rule. In the IBPS notice for 2026-27 (as read on 7 October 2026), the pixel sizes are marked “preferred”, while the file size range and the JPEG type are what the form enforces. WillItUpload keeps the two apart: required rules decide “ready to upload”, and preferred ones are matched where possible but never block. If a portal’s own wording is unclear, check the notice.

Fix it without distorting the picture

If the shape differs from the required one, you have three choices: crop the edges, pad with a background colour, or stretch. For a face, crop. For a document or signature, fit inside and pad. Avoid stretching. See how to resize an image without stretching it, and how to resize an image to exact pixels for how much each choice cuts.

Two traps

• Orientation. A phone photo may be stored sideways with a rotation tag. If a site ignores the tag, it reads the wrong width and height. WillItUpload outputs the picture upright, so the dimensions mean what they say.
• DPI isn’t pixels. A form that says “300 DPI” is a different rule from one that gives pixels. DPI changes a tag, not the picture. See DPI vs pixel dimensions.

Check it

After resizing, enter the rules in the Image Requirement Checker to see width, height, size and format each pass or fail with your actual value shown.
