Use a matching listed specification when one applies. Otherwise, paste the receiving organization's photo instructions or enter its published values, and verify the settings before processing a photo.
Set custom photo requirementsFind the applicable instructions
Use the current instructions for your application route and receiving organization. A printed-photo size, an upload resolution and a file size limit describe different things. Do not copy values from a different country, school, exam center or application route just because the photos look similar.
- Check the specification directory first for a matching application.
- Keep the original instructions available so you can compare them with the settings.
Enter only published requirements
Paste the photo-related instructions into the requirements form, or enter the values manually. Review extracted dimensions, units, format and file size limits before applying them. Distinguish minimum pixel dimensions from an exact target size; do not invent values when the instructions do not publish them.
- Check width and height in the correct order and confirm whether the units are pixels or millimeters.
- Remove personal details before parsing: Parse sends the pasted text to a text AI model, not your photo. Keep additional photo conditions for your own final review.
Check the photo and inspect the report
Apply the settings and upload your photo. The checker can inspect the file and prepare supported size, format and compression adjustments in the browser. Read the reported failures and warnings; a file check cannot establish that every application condition has been met.
- Use a clearer original or retake the photo if important facial details are missing.
- AI generation requires a separate action. Check the receiving organization's editing rules before choosing it, and inspect any generated result carefully.
Review the exported file
Inspect the final photo and compare its file properties with the instructions before returning to the application form. Check conditions such as recency, clothing and identity yourself. Custom settings come from the instructions you entered; they are not an independently verified official specification or a guarantee of acceptance.
- Keep the original photo and the final exported file separately.
- If the application rejects the upload, read its specific error and compare it with your settings before trying again.
