A photo the portal will take
e-Citizen asks for a JPG, often under 2 MB. Confirm the limit on the form you are filling. This page does not upload the photo. The file is not posted to PactPDF. Jobs run in this tab. Close the tab and the job is gone.
How the photo is prepared
A JPG or PNG from this phone. Face clear. No HEIC. If the portal wants a PDF, Photos to PDF makes one page. If it wants a JPG, use PDF to JPG after that, or send the original JPG. Compress redraws pages as JPEG. Size may not drop. A lean photo can stay the same size. If the portal rejects the file, shoot a smaller JPG. OCR is out. The page is not searchable. Occasional use is free.
