Prepare and check your upload

This page does not offer an automatic preset because current numeric upload limits have not been verified, or the provider captures the photo itself. Follow the linked official process. If your application displays file limits, choose Custom and enter those values.

The checker verifies output pixels and file size. It does not verify identity, photo age, background, face coverage, ink colour, required captions or acceptance by the application. Keep the original and follow any updated notice for your cycle.
