Use the current requirements from the authority receiving the file. Enter its pixel dimensions, format, and maximum bytes directly, then verify the downloaded result before submitting.

Copy requirements from the primary source

Passport, visa, exam, and job-form rules vary and change. A third-party page may be out of date. Check the receiving authority for dimensions, format, file-size range, pose, background, and recency rules.

Pixels, DPI, and KB are different

Pixel width and height define the digital grid. KB limits define stored bytes. DPI is metadata that helps physical-size workflows, but many online forms primarily inspect pixels and bytes.

Prepare, then verify

Use cover when the photo must fill an exact aspect ratio and contain when no part may be cropped. A tool can prepare dimensions and bytes, but it cannot promise legal compliance or evaluate expression, shadows, head size, or local policy.

  • Open the downloaded file and check the face and background.
  • Confirm dimensions and bytes in the result card.
  • Re-read the authority’s instructions before submitting.
