Pixel dimensions
The first number is the image width and the second is its height, as displayed by your browser. A 600 × 600 image is square. An application may need a different size, shape or crop.

Find the pixel dimensions, file size and format of a photo you want to use for a passport, visa, ID or other application. Compare the results with the limits shown in your application portal.
Check your photo file
Your photo stays in this browser. This tool does not send it to Merodim.
Up to 24 MB · No account neededThis is a file inspection, not an acceptance check. It does not assess the face, head size, background, editing or document-specific exceptions.
What the numbers tell you.
File size
This is how much storage the file uses. Here, 1 KB means 1,000 bytes. Some portals use 1,024-byte units instead, so leave space below a stated upload limit.
Reduce an oversized fileFile format
The checker reads the image type from the file, not just its name. Renaming photo.png to photo.jpg does not convert it to JPEG. Export it in the format your application requests.
Resize or convert to JPEGA file can fit the limits and still need a retake.
The right number of pixels cannot establish a suitable pose, a clear face or the correct head size. This tool reads file properties. It does not measure facial features or certify a photo for submission.
If a portal rejects your file, first distinguish a technical upload error from a photo-quality problem. Converting or compressing a file may fix an unsupported format or excessive file size. It will not fix glare across the eyes or a face that is out of focus.
Your original stays on your device.
The selected file is opened locally by the browser. This checker does not upload it, save a copy on our servers or change the original. Choosing another file replaces the displayed results.
Keep the original camera file when preparing an application. Make resized or compressed copies from it, and compare the final copy against the original before submitting.
If your phone saves HEIC images, export a JPEG copy for this checker. Check that copy again after any resizing or compression, because its dimensions and file size can change.
How to export HEIC as JPEGPhoto file checker questions.
Does this tell me whether my passport photo will be accepted?
No. It reports file properties only. Check your application’s photo requirements, including pose, framing, background and permitted editing. The receiving authority decides whether to accept your photo.
Does checking a file cost anything?
No. This tool is free and runs in your browser. It does not use a paid preview or require an account.
Will it resize my photo?
No. It reads the dimensions and file size without changing your image. For a US passport photo, use our photo maker to preview the document framing before purchasing a prepared file.
Why can my computer report a slightly different file size?
Applications can use different units or rounding. This checker displays both decimal KB and the exact byte count. Image dimensions also reflect the orientation applied by the browser.
