Check your exam photo before uploading it to an application form. The Exam Photo Checker analyzes your image's file size, dimensions, format, aspect ratio, and other available image details.

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