Why was my photo rejected?

Drop the file the portal refused. ExamPic reads what the portal reads — the real format behind the file name, exact pixels, KB, the hidden rotation tag, DPI and whether the paper is really white — and tells you which rule failed.

The seven reasons portals reject a photo

  1. Wrong real format. A PNG or HEIC renamed to .jpg is still a PNG or HEIC — portals read the file header. iPhone photos are the usual culprit.
  2. Wrong pixels. IBPS demands 140 × 60 for the signature and says so in the error; Passport Seva wants 630 × 810; GATE checks the aspect ratio.
  3. Outside the KB window — either end. 9 KB fails a 10–20 KB rule as surely as 25 KB does.
  4. Hidden rotation tag. Phone photos carry an EXIF orientation flag. Some portals ignore it and display the photo sideways.
  5. Grey paper. Signatures and thumbs photographed on a desk have a grey background; the rule says white.
  6. Black and white photo. RRB and IBPS require colour.
  7. No name and date strip. NTA and UPSC want your name and the photo date printed inside the image.

Questions

Does the checker upload my file?

No. The bytes are read in your browser; nothing is sent.

It says "passes every check" but the portal still rejects it.

Then the rule is one we cannot see in the file — usually face size (80% of frame), background colour, or an old photo date. Compare with the rules on the exam page, or retake against a white wall.

Can it check the name and date strip?

Not automatically — look at the preview on the exam page; the name and date must sit inside the image under the face.
