Image File Size Checklist for Passport Photo Uploads
Run through this list before you upload. Online photo uploads for official documents usually state a maximum file size and pixel range, and files outside it get rejected.
Recommended settings for passport photo uploads
| Setting | Starting point |
|---|---|
| Format | JPEG (WebP where accepted) |
| Width | about 600 px on the long edge |
| Quality | 70 |
| File size | 100 KB or less |
These are practical defaults. If the platform or form you are using publishes its own limits, follow those instead.
Image File Size Checklist
Is it the right format? Photos should be JPEG or WebP. Is it the right width? Around 600 pixels suits passport photo uploads. Is it under the limit? Aim for 100 KB or whatever the destination specifies.
Is it oriented correctly, cropped cleanly and free of private metadata? Our compressor handles orientation and strips metadata automatically when it re-encodes the image.
