Troubleshooting
Common issues & fixes
If your upload is rejected, one of these is usually the reason.
Upload failed — file size exceeded
What you see
Portal shows "File size should not exceed X KB" and rejects the upload.
How to fix it
This tool compresses your photo to exactly the required limit. Download the processed file and upload that instead of your original.
Format not accepted
What you see
Portal displays "Please upload JPEG/JPG image only" after you select your photo.
How to fix it
Download the file produced by this tool — it is always exported as JPEG, regardless of your original format.
Photo dimensions rejected
What you see
Portal shows "Photo dimensions do not match requirements" on upload.
How to fix it
Each ID document has specific pixel dimensions. Use the correct preset (Aadhaar, PAN card, Passport, or Voter ID) — the tool sets the exact pixels required.
Face not clearly visible
What you see
Automated check flags "Face not detected" or "Photo quality too low".
How to fix it
Use a well-lit, high-contrast original photo with your face clearly centred and filling most of the frame. Avoid low-light or blurry source photos.
Background not accepted
What you see
Form shows "Plain white background required" after upload.
How to fix it
Take the photo in front of a plain white or off-white surface in good even lighting. This tool cannot change the background of an existing photo.
