Error: “Your upload/capture photo is invalid.”

The portal rejected the file without saying why. The usual causes: wrong pixel size, file over or under the KB limit, a PNG/HEIC file, or a blurry/dark face. Resize to your exam’s exact size; if you don’t know it, 200×230 px, 20–50 KB JPG passes most bank and government forms.

Fix it in 3 steps

  1. Upload your photo in the tool above (photo, scan or screenshot — JPG, PNG or HEIC).
  2. Adjust the crop. The tool saves exactly 200×230 px within 20–50 KB.
  3. Download and upload it to the form again. If your notification gives different numbers, change the size and KB in the tool.
