Troubleshooting
Common issues & fixes
If your upload is rejected, one of these is usually the reason.
Upload rejected — file size too large
What you see
The portal displays "File size exceeds the allowed limit" or the upload button spins indefinitely.
How to fix it
This tool automatically compresses your photo to the exact size limit. Re-process your photo and download again — the output will be within the allowed limit.
Photo rejected — wrong dimensions
What you see
The portal shows "Invalid photo dimensions" or "Photo does not meet size requirements".
How to fix it
Use the correct preset for your exam. This tool resizes your photo to the exact pixel dimensions required — no manual resizing needed.
Format not accepted — only JPEG allowed
What you see
Portal shows "Only JPEG/JPG format accepted" even though your photo looks fine.
How to fix it
This tool automatically converts PNG, WebP, and other formats to JPEG on download. Ensure you are uploading the file you just downloaded, not your original.
Background rejected — not white
What you see
The portal flags the photo for "incorrect background colour" or the automated check fails.
How to fix it
This tool cannot change the background of your photo. Retake your photo in front of a plain white or off-white wall in good lighting. Then re-process through this tool.
Photo rejected — too old
What you see
Form submission blocked with "Please upload a recent photograph (within 6 months)".
How to fix it
Government portals require a recent photo. Use a photo taken within the last 6 months, then process it here.
