What Does the Exam Photo Checker Check?
The checker helps you review the image properties commonly required by online exam and application portals.

|---|---|
| File Size | Image size in KB or MB |
| Dimensions | Width × height in pixels |
| Image Format | JPG, JPEG, PNG and supported formats |
| Aspect Ratio | Width-to-height proportion |
| Resolution | Image resolution and available image details |
Checking these properties before uploading can help you identify common photo-related problems early.
Common Exam Photo Upload Problems
| Problem | What to check | Quick Fix |
|---|---|---|
| File size is too large | Check the maximum KB/MB allowed by the application | Compress your image |
| Wrong dimensions | Compare the width and height with the required dimensions | Resize your image |
| Unsupported format | Check which image formats the portal accepts | Convert the image if needed |
| Blurry or unclear photo | Use a clear, sharp original photograph | Replace with a better-quality photo |
| Poor framing | Make sure the face is clearly visible and properly positioned | Crop the photo |
Requirements can vary between exams and applications, so always follow the latest instructions provided by the relevant exam authority.
