Question 1

What does this checker actually check?

Accepted Answer

It reads your photo's pixel dimensions, file format, file size, and aspect ratio, then compares them against the official requirements for your selected document type. For example, India's Passport Seva requires exactly 630×810 pixels in JPEG format under 250 KB.

Question 2

Does this tool upload my photo to a server?

Accepted Answer

No. Your photo is analyzed entirely in your browser — it is never sent to any server. The only network requests this page makes are for the page itself and for analytics that record which document type you selected and the pass/fail counts (no image data).

Question 3

My photo failed the check. What do I do?

Accepted Answer

If your photo has the wrong dimensions, format, or file size, PhotoPass can fix these automatically for $2.99. If the issue is with the photo itself (glasses, lighting, head tilt), you will need to retake the photo.

Question 4

Is this tool really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The dimension checker is 100% free with no account and no watermark. PhotoPass offers this free because most photos that fail the dimension check also need cropping, background removal, and compliance verification — and that is our paid product.
