Common Mistakes to Avoid
These errors cause most exam photo rejections. Here's how to fix each one.
Wrong File Format
Uploading PNG instead of JPEG. Most portals only accept JPG/JPEG.
Convert using our PNG to JPG converter before resizing.
Exceeding File Size
Photo is 51 KB but limit is 50 KB. Even 1 KB over gets rejected.
Use our KB-specific resize tool to hit the exact target.
Blurry After Resize
Over-compressing to meet tiny file sizes destroys clarity.
Start with a high-quality original. Our tool optimises compression intelligently.
Wrong Dimensions
Photo is square but portal needs 3:4 ratio, causing distortion.
Crop to the correct aspect ratio first, then resize to target KB.
Coloured Background
Selfie backgrounds or room walls behind the subject.
Use our Background Color Changer to set a clean white background.
Signature on Ruled Paper
Lines from notebook paper appear in the scanned signature.
Always sign on blank white paper. Use our background remover if needed.
