Key takeaways
- Fix size (KB) and dimensions before the last hour of a deadline.
- Resize and compress first; crop for passport framing; convert only if asked.
- Preview on phone and desktop before upload.
- Studio covers resize, crop, compress, convert and background helpers.
Forms reject the wrong size, not your ambition
Many exam and job portals cap file size (often 20–100 KB for photos) and demand exact dimensions. Fix that before the last hour of the deadline.
Use resize and compress first, then crop for passport-style framing. Convert format only if the portal asks for JPG or PNG specifically.
Quick checklist before upload
Run this checklist once — it prevents most portal errors.
- Plain background when required
- Face centred in the frame
- File under the stated KB limit
- Filename without special characters
- Preview on phone and desktop

Reading helps. Practice locks it in.
Which Studio image tool to open
Resize when width/height is wrong. Compress when KB is too high. Crop for passport framing. Convert when the format is wrong. Background change when a plain colour background is required.
FAQ
My photo is under 100 KB but still rejected. Why?
Portals may also check width and height, face position, or background colour. Fix dimensions and crop, not only file size.
Should I convert to JPG or PNG?
Follow the portal. Photos are often JPG. Graphics with text sometimes need PNG. Convert only when asked.
