Passport photo pixel box: check before you upload
Match width, height, file size, and format against the portal rules — then download a file that fits.

Answer: Enter the portal’s width, height, KB limit, and allowed formats in Photo check. Fix fails in Resize, then re-check.
Tool: Photo check — free, nothing uploaded.
Most rejections are arithmetic: wrong aspect, too many pixels, or over the kilobyte cap. The portal text is usually exact — 35×45 mm at 300 dpi is a different pixel box than “600×600 px square”.
Photo check reads the file you pick and compares it to the rules you type. It does not send the photo anywhere. A fail lists which rule broke so you know whether to crop, scale, or compress.
After Resize produces a candidate, run Photo check again. Keep the original until the portal accepts the upload — re-encoding twice can soften faces more than you want.
