What we check — and what we don't
-
File type. The file you download is a JPG.
-
Pixels. The width and height in pixels, when the notice states them. We scale the picture, and crop it when the notice sets both sides, and never stretch it.
-
File size. The size in KB, kept inside the notice's limits however a KB is counted.
We do not check what the picture shows, such as the background, the face position, the date of a photo or whose signature it is. A portal may check these too, and only the portal can accept or reject your upload. We are not affiliated with National Testing Agency: always confirm the numbers on the official notice.
How to fix your file
- Pick what you are uploading, then choose or drop your JPG, PNG or WebP file (up to 25 MB). It is read on your device.
- Press Fix my file. We scale, crop and compress it until it fits the official numbers above.
- Download the fixed copy and upload it on the official application portal.
