How it works
Pick your exam and the document, or enter the sizes yourself.
Drop in your photo or signature.
Press Check my photo: each rule shows a tick, a note or a cross, and Fix it makes the file fit.
Upload your photo or signature and see, rule by rule, whether your exam portal will accept it, before you pay the fee.
The same things a portal checks when you upload: the file type (JPG), the file size against the KB range, the exact pixel size, and the DPI when the rules are in centimetres. It also looks for what gets photos rejected later by a person: a background that isn't plain white, a face that's too small or cut off, a blurred picture, a missing name and date strip, or a signature on grey, shadowed paper.
Most rejections are simple: the file is 51 KB when the limit is 50, it's a PNG or an iPhone HEIC instead of a JPG, or it's the right size in KB but the wrong shape in pixels. Others come weeks later at verification, when someone notices a blurred face or a coloured wall behind you. Checking first costs nothing; a rejected application can cost the fee or the attempt.
If anything fails, press Fix it and the same file is made to fit: cropped to the exact size, compressed or padded into the KB range, given a white background or white paper, and saved as a JPG with the DPI recorded. The check itself changes nothing, and the file is deleted as soon as it's measured.

No. It's measured in a temporary folder that is deleted before the result reaches you.
Yes. It finds the face and measures how much of the photo it fills, and it looks at the edges of the photo to see whether the background is plain white.
It isn't something a portal refuses automatically, but a person may reject it at verification, for example a slightly small face. Fix it if you can.
