Before you submit
- Read the photo requirement on the form: pixels, format and KB range.
- Pick the nearest preset, then correct the numbers if the form differs.
- Set the KB cap to the form's maximum and keep the aspect ratio locked.
- Download and open the file — check the face is not cropped and the size is inside the allowed range.
Common mistakes
- Renaming a file does not change its format. This tool re-encodes the actual bytes.
- Transparent PNGs become white in JPEG. Choose a background colour if the form expects white, or keep PNG.
- Upscaling a tiny photo produces a soft, larger file that may pass the pixel check but looks poor.
- Ignoring the minimum. Some portals reject files that are too small as well as too large.
